They're too busy telling us to negotiaite with our enemies to focus on things like not wasting money

without even checking the link SWASM and CPSM come to mind (with SWASM you have to have left Canada, or Tampa Bay to get it in less than 90 Days)

probably too bloody lazy to stop and light the thing on return from filling it, and didn't want to make his poor fingers cold, #1 Candidate for villiage idiot, I had a simaler experience last year and when we were done putting out the 10 man and our kit, I turned the purple K extinguisher on the...

Keep in mind here folks that for the reg force (can't speak for the mcdv's I never sailed on one) but for the reg force most of that time is spent out of Canada, maybe instead of a time at sea service pin we amend the requirements for tour medals to be inclusive from say 2 days out of home port...

BMOQ is the total of both IAP and BOTP for the combined qual, makes little sense but hey welcome to the family, it doesn't often make sense

or more than 1 per section, but they are definately accountable in the supply system

no problem, 7 years in the navy taught me that little one, I did the same bloody thing when I first got my peak cap

as per  ADM(HR-MIL) Instruction 03/03 at link http://www.forces.gc.ca/hr/instructions/engraph/0303_admhrmil_e.asp wound stipes may continue to be worn on civillian clothing once retired.

no it just slides on to the band that goes around the peak cap no requirement for the device on the wedge

that said, would the new sacrifice medal replace entirely the wound stripe, a canadian distinction that goes back as far as WW1

It's not just the jelousey thats the problem an the other side of the coin will be the arrogance that DP was getting at,  which is almost worse, thats where leaders at all levels have to squash both the jelous and the arrogant for the award to work properly, otherwise it becomes an us against...

I agree fully,  as far as the Navy goes I spent more time out of Canada than in, I still think it is an unfair reaction, ignorant maybe , thats why I shelve the thought immediately, like I said its my first reaction. The next chain of thought is this guy have given all of his adult life to the...

I'm not ashamed to admit at laughing more than once as a LSVW burned for a while (battery fire or pre-heater doing the rest of the POS a favour)

The Calgary Flames routinely have support the troops nights, free tickets through MFRC and a great big dedication/tribute before the game starts

dont forget the pre-heaters, that if they started at all often caught fire.

Jump wings and Pathfinder torches are qualification badges, ranger tabs are AMERICAN, with the CAB we're not talking about taking a course, regardless of effort required and being awarded a specialist qual badge for it, further more would this be exactly like its brother from the south awarded...

heres my thinking about the sacrifice medal, when we start issueing it do we start stripping wound stripes, or are we going to give 2 awards for the same thing. Were not talking about 2 awards for the same mission, that in itself given the situation is not unreasonable, I.E. a tour medal and a...

Thanks Michael I was just looking at a previous post in the thread and typing with a phone in my hand

Lets keep the shots at Warrants out of this one guys, regardless of education, we did send 18 year old Captains to 2 World Wars with less than highschool education.

ok lets get on to the idea of the sacrifice medal, we already have an award for wounds recieved in combat, it's called the wound stripe, its worn on the sleeve of the CF Tunic to recognize these acts.  and yes the US has a different honours system,  read DIFFERENT, we are creating awards with...
