A plaid bow tie?  IIRC it's black only. Although that's hardly evidence of a "fraud or faker".... jackass with questionable sartorial competence possibly.  ;D

While I cannot speak to what is done in every Cadet Corps / Squadron, it is my unit's practice to warn off potential recruits that are 16 or older, ideally steering them towards our Affiliated Reserve unit.  Simply, the cadet program is not designed to readily accommodate those who join late and...

Does anyone have a currently working non-DIN link to the UCR / CF 777 form and the policy / directive WRT completing same? Thanks

+1 to that

Well I'm not disagreeing with your assessment. But I have to add, those "kids" are the product of 3+ years of mentorship, and training in leadership and CAF famil.  Furthermore, they're the ambassadors of the program and they should conduct themselves with that in mind. While I would expect...

interesting.  The 201 used to have a similar option for paying compliments to civilian females... no mention of the brow though...

FTFY Well I hope instead he'd make them think of emulating his example and joining the CAF, further stimulating their interest in the activities of their element. Y'know it's odd, I've worked with many Cadet NCOs who lead from the front, take their responsibilities quite seriously and could...

So... the reg force over there by 5 Cdn Div wear 1 Cdn Div patches.... except for 2 RCR who are part of 4 Cdn Div?

CNN is now reporting 10 injured, number dead unknown

And yeah, I'll second the motion about getting back what you put in.  In addition to the deliberately estranged relationships when there's physical separation, I've heard some units have quite adversarial relationships with regiments they're co-located with.  :facepalm: But glad to hear about...

In Soviet Russia sabre rattles you!

FWIW, my impression from the (English translation of) the Koran was surprise at what was IMHO a very defensive tone. Seemed an awful lot of preparing the faithful for confrontation and discrimination, a lot of "If the unbeliever does X...."

A target rich environment

Thanks Rick, it's great to see that involvement. From time to time, we've had volunteers from Ptes to CWO but never any LOs.... at least in living memory. And for years we've arranged members of the Regimental family to come down in advance of Remembrance Day to discuss their service whether...

I was just going by the article posted by MCG that states they were "awarded" the medal. If that's not then case, then please disregard my last.

While the optics aren't great (as if they ever are), personally I'm not too eager to jump on the PM's wife and some top advisors for getting the QDJM since I'm not in any position to say if any of them were not actively involved in community work and don't deserve it. (I say actively because I...

Sounds good to me (FWIW). Although it's far outside my lane, it's interesting stuff. So - just wondering here - with the intent of training to need, do you think the PRes units would be able maintain essential skills with the task of generating capability gap specialists? For instance, if...

Egads!  :o  The man's walting knows no bounds!  ;D

It's been about five years since the Cadet Program Update (CPU) was first rolled out.  One of the changes in the CPU was the introduction of POs covering CAF familiarization including having Regular Force or Primary Reserve members come in and speak to the cadets. Around the same timeframe...
