sorry, just re-read the OP.. of course it's indoors... derp...

So... you want to wear sunglasses on top of your head indoors? That is what I'm taking away from that... Otherwise, I'm fairly certain the only time you'd be outdoors with no headdress is either at sea on a ship (no issue with sunglasses there), on an active airfield (but wouldn't you be...

I'm gonna guess you are RCAF or RCN and are asking to wear them on the top of the brim of your ball cap. Here are your options: 1. This will most likely be a no, although I don't get a lot of flak transiting from my office to outside looking like this. 2. This is acceptable. 3. I want...

Something tells me that there was no follow-up on the previous lessons learned...

On time and under budget...

When I joined, I was 29 years old, no criminal record, no travel outside of Canada and continental US, and I'm not even sure if my references were contacted, TBH. Besides, at the CFRC, they are only sending in a screening request for a reliability status anyways. It won't be until you have the...

Mitigate your pain threshold with your knee issues. I know some folks that drop a couple of Tylenol / Advil / Aleve an hour or so before a FORCE test, just to get through it (pain management), and then ice up good after. As for the rushes, as long as you have a decent cardio threshold, you...

Think more High School gym and less Prison. They are stalls, but make sure you don't do your pooping before an inspection. Really kills the vibe the staff are looking for... As for in the field, there are Blue Rockets, so you should be ok. As always, I'm here to help 😉

Jaysus... imagine being the reason to go through THAT change parade... :sick:

Reg force infanteer, eh? I would normally push the Naval Experience Program, but I can respect someone who wants to join the infantry. Realistically speaking, there is no "set" amount of time to wait for a BMQ course. My suggestion would be to reach out to a CFRC (Recruiting Centre) on an...

Do you want Reg force or Reserves?

They may get processed with Reliability first, and then re-processed as TS prior to their first employment off of initial trade training. I know that my trade requires TS, but recruits come to us from CFLRS with Reliability status, and the USS here at the school assists the students with...

Are you looking at a specific trade, or just want to see if the military is the right choice for you?

I've seen other navies, instead of a ship-wide morale patch, will make a morale patch for each trade. They say it creates cohesiveness within the section, but I think it'd also serve the purpose you mention.

OK... here we go... I think that if something was created and ordered to be worn for the NCM corps, it would be a toss up as to who would actually wear it. As an example, I know folks who have bronze, silver, and gold SSIs who don't wear them on their uniform all the time, even though by the...

I'm sure that, in some fashion, everyone in uniform will experience some form of toxic leadership. The difference between the encounters will likely vary depending on the specific circumstances, and the level of the toxicity. I could regale all with stories of toxic leaders that people I know...

One example I could see is having female officers in a command position. Having seen other nations' military members dismiss / ignore a female OOW onboard ship because they don't allow women to serve in their military, it took the Captain to tell them that he trusted the OOW implicitly, and...

Realistically, if you just wanted a pair of desert-style combat boots that you can buy off the shelf, check out your local CANEX. I wouldn't claim to be an expert on army-based combat boots and their life-expectancy, but I would think that CANEX would be a good place to start. Just my 2 cents...

At $3 a piece, really is a steal. All you need for your labelling needs.

And when I look at that new portrait, I see something more like this:
