I agree, and thanks again darren, much appreciated. You can rest assured there will be some business headed your way.

This is true, the problem being that the way people shape their headdress is up to them. Some opt for the stiff almost flat look while others (such as myself) opt for the beret style slant. None are frowned upon within the units that i know, minus the ominous "pizza hat"of new recruits, who are...

HighlandIslander - I believe the devil is in the details here. The CHofO, TorScots, SDG Highlanders, 48th highlanders, all wear the same thing. Our headdress is known as a balmoral, now if another unit wishes to call it a smaller modified TOS, much ressembling a balmoral, then so be it. Much the...

True, I am but a lowely private, but the facts of history do not change with ones rank. I am merely attempting to pass on the knowledge which I have accumulated through reasearch as a personal interest in my studies as a history major in university, on top of many unit history lessons insofar as...

To my knowledge, there are no more regiments in the CF that still wear the much larger TOS. Everyone has made the switch to the smaller balmoral. I am absolutely certain that this is indeed the case with my unit, The Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa, the SD&G Highlanders, the 48th Highlanders as...

I'm in the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa regiment, where the uniform headdress is the Balmoral, in khaki for ncm's, and a lighter colour for officers. In the WWII period, the TOS was worn, but gradually the switch was made to the smaller balmoral. What I pointed the inquirer to was an online...

insofar as what i know, you only need that if you are an exibiting businessman or of a government agency. If youve got a milID you can get in at the door no problem

farmboy, be assured i will be there, looking forward to being there. Cheers

It's also known as a balmoral today, but what you are looking for is a tam-o-shanter, available at www.pennys.ca brand new. Hopefully this helps

This question goes out to Matt and Farmboy, will you have anything for sale at this show?

Thanks a lot guys, i guess I should put a bit of trust in that little plastic slikclip. Also, if you happen to break one for whatever reason, you can get another one at Mountain Equipment Co-Op for 50 cents. Cheers Advance

To start off, the obvious need is there for infanteers to have a dump pouch, that being said, I purchased a Rollypolly. I am not the tallest in stature, and as a result the belt loop attachment is impossible for me with the TV. How have others attached it to the TV? I see the Slikclip is there...

I did the test a few weeks ago, basically what it consists of is the beep test, max repetitive push ups, max hand grip over 2 tries, max sit ups in one minute, and then they will check your heart rate. While the test is supposed to be ran every year (i have heard that it will be done before...

Read into it what you wish, but i once had a high school teacher who said: "If your young and do not vote liberal, you have no heart, if you are older, and do not vote conservative, you have no head". Otherwise I would just say that the armed forces are inherently conservative institutions in...

Not to offend or anything, but when I read the statement that you were under the impression that with Harper's injection of cash that we were spending more than the US on defence...i just about lost it. The US spends almost 1 billion dollars a day on defence, heck almost that in Iraq alone. US...

For me the funnyest thing about it (beside THE scene), is the fact that he is actually an observant Jew, has a doctorate (writing his wrote his dissertation on Jewish involvement in the American Civil Rights movement), yet still has the acting skill to remain in caracter the whole time. That my...

PAT Platoon most definitely did not get issued the ICE system. Some of us still have to wait over a month to get our initial kit in the first place  :P

Thanks a lot guys, much appreciated.

did you end up doing BIQ afterwards?
