I think you've nailed it on both counts.

Well, I know when the local Costco refused to let cadets tag on their premises they explained their policy is zero tolerance for anyone asking customers for donations, however the organization should approach head office for a corporate donation instead. Still, maybe it's me, but you'd hope...

Even then, they deliberately hijacked a pre-existing symbol, slandered its meaning, and adopted a defaced version. What next? Santa with a goatee symbolizes the de-commercialization of Christmas?

:rofl:

But what they're promoting isn't peace, they're promoting the position that the red poppy, those who wear it and the traditional acts of remembrance are all glorifying war... hence the need for their innovative, new and improved white poppy.

Well, we can't leave them ALL for our Affiliated units!  ;D Yeah, personally I call it the "Peter Pan syndrome" where really the ex-cadet is simply striving to continue his or her connection to the unit beyond 19.  Not a recipe for success until they realize they must accept their new role...

IIRC in Normandy it was a pretty common practice to have one Firefly in each Sherman tp, dispersing the additional capabilities to the lowest tactical level.  I had wondered if the 6s would be treated in similar fashion.

I was kind of surprised that the CA website seemed to focus on the 2A4s rather than the 6s. Wondered if the "plan" was to maintain a concentration of Leos in one Regt, or procure more Leos - especially the 6s - and adopt a standard Armoured Regiment ORBAT of X Tank Tps per Sqn with X Leo 2A6Ms...

My unit has never employed a lot of civilian staff... but I know you see a lot of "different" things out there.... so maybe that's why I'm kind of scratching my head on the concept of putting them in charge of CAF members. Agreed. Sorry, I was not saying it's the same thing. I was looking to...

OK, looking to a RegF example.... how would the CAF describe the relationship / authority of a civilian employee who runs... say clothing stores... and the Cpls that do his bidding? 

I dunno... I'm not familiar with public service terms but wouldn't agreeing with the above only indicate yes, they're both working on the same thing, but then kind of neatly side-step the whole relationship and lines of authority between the two?

Well it's not my term :), I'm referring to a specific, limited type of command relationship (TACON) providing direction and controlling employment of resources assigned to a task (as opposed to assigning the task in the first place, for instance). Having said that, I think your detailed...

Agreed... but I could see situations wherein a Civilian volunteer could be given tactical control over an officer(s) assigned to a task. And I believe a specialist would legally have some functional authority over an officer possessing less qualifications in that specialty... so a civilian...

Well, I'd have to say: it depends. It could be that the OCdt has been tasked by his chain of command to support the civilian volunteer who is acting as a SME or running fund-raising or some other activity that falls within the bailiwick of the support committee.  So, for instance, the OCdt is...

Sorry D&B, my apologies for not quoting my ref, but what Lightguns helpfully quoted is the regulation that came to mind. I'm unaware if there's any policy or instruction distinguishing between safety equipment vice accessories or anything specific to BEWs.

OK not sure what the member is actually doing when he/she required eye protection, and I can't speak for the fashion choice...but what the heck, I'll be the guy to ask the collective wisdom of the forum: could the BEWs be considered an accessory permissible IAW Chapter 2, section 1, para. 46 of...

Whoa. As you can see from my posts I was discussing whether an item could be put to use.  I was not arguing with entitlement. As for the CAF small pack, I don't believe I'm entitled to one of those either.

IIRC FFO is designed to carry the essentials required to sustain you in the field for 24-hours. Not quite verbatim but that is the intent. So, sorry I still don't see the devil incarnate lurking in my FFO. True I could buy a civvie backpack. But honestly why would I?  Setting aside comfort...

Really?  Rifle = load bearing vest Utterly ridiculous comparison. I guess I should carry things around in a grocery bag.  Actually, all of my cadets are issued utility belt, canteen and pouch. They're encouraged to purchase additional LBE to facilitate carrying things of use and most of the...
