    if you can get a cookie cutter instead of bringing your original capbrass that would be better, sometimes they get jacked.  Leave your white belt in your bag when it gets taken and anything else.  If you have a medal leave it at home and wear the ribbon so it doesnt get jacked either.  Keep all...

    I'd love to do that but it seems like they are trying to take the "army" out of Army Cadets  :-[

    CadetPat field uniform

    In response to Yoman's post: We were told by just about all of our officers that cadets are simply not allowed to wear cadpat I trust my officers in being right on this, and if they are mounting an investigation into civilian sale and use of CF Cadpat then I'm fairly sure its a no-no for...

    CadetPat field uniform

    Thats very interesting seeing as some cadet corps allow their cadets to wear cadpat. If this is true and a cadet desperately wanted a digital patterned camouflage, then wouldnt it be a better idea to buy the cadetpat? Personally I dont understand the cadet fascination with cadpat.  Cadets cannot...

    Doesnt that stuff burn when it gets on ur skin?  I remember at a school dance a few years ago a friend of mine broke one and rubbed it on his skin so he could "glow".  He had to wash it off quick because he said it hurt like heck....idiot lol ok perhaps C4 is a little too extreme. lol

    CadetPat field uniform

    I have never seen anyone get ordered to remove the canadian flag from the OD uniform anywhere.  Actually, the new cadetpat has a full colored candian flag sewn on, they got rid of the velcro.  I have seen pictures of canadian soldiers during UN missions overseas wearing the full colored canadian...

    How the heck did that happen?  Last I checked they didnt load glowsticks with C4. I remember getting tangled up in barbed wire while I was hiding during "find the non-coms" night ex. ripped up my combats and a cadpat camo net i was wearing

    CadetPat field uniform

    It would be better if they could make cadetpat epaulettes for the uniform.  The dress epaulettes don't look appropriate on the field dress uniform and cadets aren't allowed to wear the cadpat slip ons (trust me on that one) even though they let the CSMs wear the cadpat slip ons in Vernon  ::)

    awh that would be so much fun, getting choppered into your biv site.  They used to do that back in the day (so I've been told I may be wrong) at the CSTCs

    CadetPat field uniform

    I dont get what the big deal is.  No one complained about lookin like things they arent when they had the old ODs so why is everyone getting their panties in a twist over this stuff?  Cadets and Reg/reserve members wore the same OD junk for years.

    For an exchange, what mark should you have recieved on your NSCE?

    In some cases people who got a low score on nsce but a high fitness mark get preference over the people with high nsce marks and low fitness scores. ::)

    CadetPat field uniform

    But as we said Joe Sixpack wont know anything about Marpat, Cadetpat, Cadpat etc.  Do a survey.  Ask your friends if they know what Marpat is.  They wont know, the only people who know what is going on with the cadetpat and stuff like that, is cadets, and maybe some reg/reservists and the CIC...

    CadetPat field uniform

    i agree, having a field uniform that is solely that of cadets is a great idea.  Anyway having civilians thinking that the cadets in the cadetpat are little Marines, I highly doubt that Joe Sixpack would be able to tell the difference between cadpat and marpat.  Civies dont know anything about...

    CadetPat field uniform

    I just recieved a set of the cadetpat field uniform and I am very pleased with it.  I find it functional and practical for cadet use.  I am very pleased with the uniform and I highly recommend it.  I found that after a wash in some fabric softener the material was very comfertable and breatheable.

    Anybody do the NSCE exam this year? and how was it?

    You take the PT test during phase 2.  If you fail it you get a retest.  If you fail that you fail NSCE.  We have been told that your selection for an exchange or advanced training (para) heavily depends on your score on the PT test.  Apparently in some cases, cadets who have a lower score on the...
