He did play for the Eskimos too.  In fact some Grey Cups. He does have some big shoes to fill, but I think he's a great choice.

Don't know about official job description.  I've been the Ops O for 14 Svc Bn for about a year.  I issue all of the Bn orders.  Another thing is making sure that requests are put in for outside resources.

He is the CO of 14 Svc Bn.

When I was a CIC Officer (early 90s) with 2551, there were only 2 other corps in Alberta that wore the maroon beret.  2 were affiliated with CABC, us and Fahler (IIRC) in Northern Alberta.  The other was affiliated with the Parachute Maintenance Depot (CFPMD).  I believe they were in...

Actually the Edmonton Corp was associated with the Canadian Airborne Centre during the early 90s

Calgary isn't a base anymore, it's ASU Calgary, 41 CBG HQ and the Reserve units.

I know it's your decision, but as a fellow Log O, I go to the field all of the time.  I see the troops a lot, too.  In fact, the OC, 2 IC and Pl Comd, should always interact with the troops.  In the staff positions, in Garrison, you do spend some time in the office. Good luck.

A CWO is NOT senior to a commissioned officer, including 2Lts and Lts.   That being said, it is a very stupid Subaltern if they don't listen to their Pl WOs/Sgts, CSMs or RSM.  They don't have to do what is advised, but they should at least listen.

Steel Badger Having been a Finance Officer in a Highland unit for many years, I am aware of the small amount.   But that is just for "Kilt Maintenance".   There is a larger amount for an authorized increase in strength.   Of course, even that doesn't cover the entire cost. Micheal I doubt...

Are you sure about that fact...  Kilted units do get annual grants from DND.  That might not pay for all of it, but it does help alot.  Unless things have changed alot in the 5 years from when I left a Highland unit.

You are entitled to kit when you are sworn in.  You will get paid for any days you parade with the Comms Sqn.  It will be up to the Comms Sqn if you will be allowed to parade.  At 14 Svc Bn, we allow our non-BMQ to parade with us.

There might be entitlement if you are Class B (over a certain number of days) or Class C.  As for going on a Reserve BMQ, I think you are out of luck.

IIRC, Reserves are not entitled to combat glasses.

I would go with what the 39 CBG recruiter says.   There is no way of knowing when the Regimental web pages   were last updated, or if the webmaster is the recruiter.

If the CME is like Log, Base Supply is will not have the Officers' wire cap badges.  Have you tried the kitshops of 1 CER or 2 CER?

A DND Regulation is just a regulation passed by an Order in Council, pursuant to Legislation (In this case, National Defense Act).  Courts can interpret any legislation or regulation. BTW Dane, wearing of CF uniform by civies is a Criminal Code offense.  Unfortunately it's not enforced...

Try this.  As far as I know, Calgary is still part of Alberta, not BC. ;) http://www.albertacourts.ab.ca/go.aspx?tabid=513#

A Reg F Mat Tech with an Area Support Unit.  In 41 CBG, most of the maintenance is done by the ASU (in Calgary, at least)  The techs are either Class B Res or Reg.

May I suggest that you go and talk with the recruiters at the Reserves units you are interested in.  They will be able to tell you if there are any opening in their respective units.  I believe, that some of the trades you are interested in, aren't open to Reserves. Check out this website...
