Agreed.  The gentleman wrote a pretty article, but the facts were wrong in several areas.  Much that I've often liked EdC as a good way for the lower ranks to get a chance to vent on things, I honestly wish that a little more research was done.

And I just noticed that on the Remembrance Day pics that the commander of the Army is wearing the 1st Canadian Army patch on his left shoulder. Okay...!

LOL!  Silly me!  ;D I should have phrased that "When was it authorized?" Haven't had enough coffee this morning . . .!

I'm not sure this is the right conversation to post this in, but I just noticed this when I went on Facebook:  The people at the CADTC are now wearing what looks to me like the I Canadian Corps formation patch.  Is that authorized?

Quick question:  How does the Air Force decide which squadron is allowed to come back into active service again?  Is there a set list or is it just random?  401 Squadron was always a reserve squadron based in the Montréal area; I'd suspect 416 or 441 would be brought back first.

You fought for what you believed in, sir.  Rest in peace.  :salute:

Only did see him in WFRR.  God, they're dropping away, aren't they?

Another one standing guard for eternity.  Soldier on, Sarge . . .  :salute:

Agreed.  BZ, Mr. President!

I honestly didn't know that, Pusser.  Do they just use the basic post-nominals, i.e. "CD"?

My suggestion would be to use the phrase "...and Bar" like they do with medals in Britain, i.e. "CD and Bar" or "CD and Two Bars." Just my  :2c:

To all those who've lost friends, my sincerest condolences. To those now guarding the gates of Heaven, let me borrow a quote from the funeral of one of our first Afghanistan casualties: "Rest in peace, Dragoons.  Your work is all done here."

Oh?!  Where are you based?!  The Lake or the Ville?

Thank you so much.  I see the Air Force like to vary things in its squadrons; I was expecting certain number of operational flights and the squadron headquarters flight.  Then again, that's the Army influence in me.  ;) The presence of a squadron maintenance flight surprises me; I'd figure 1...

Quick question to those who would know: How exactly are our fighter squadrons (409 and 425) administratively structured?  I would assume given the number of CF-188s we have left, there would be multiple flying flights plus an administration flight for all the headquarters work.  And how many...

Ah, wakata

Thanks so much, Ostrozac. BTW, what's Star Top?

With CFJHQ now transformed back into 1 CDN DIV HQ, I doubt I could find anything on the former unit's internal workings. So here's my question:  How exactly was the Joint Headquarters set up?  Was it the classical J1, J2, J3, etc setup of staff officers under a LCol as commanding officer of the...

To those who would know about this (and apologies if this has been discussed before as the search function is overloaded): Are all elements of 2e R22eR based inside the Citadelle?  Or do some parts work out of Valcartier?

Man-oh-man!  I've heard of having gone to Cuckoo-Land, but THIS is ridiculous!  ::)
