    Updated Army Service Dress project

    I would be happier if we could handle Honours and Awards in a timely manner, the fact that for the majority of pers the awarding of their CD and clasps is usually a year or later is not very good.

    CAF Occupational Standard/MMTP

    Not an answer to your question, but just be aware that MMTP is very competitive and hard to do, there is no guarantee that you will be successful so picking a trade that will be the easiest to get into MMTP might not be the wisest choice.

    That is what happened in the early 1990's when we had field pay. Our company was doing training but we did not have the budget for field pay so we would have weapons draw at 0700 hrs and then be out all day turning in weapons around 2200 hrs and then dismissed for the night. It made for long...

    CBC: "An 'embarrassing' gear shortage has Canadian troops in Latvia buying their own helmets"

    I have never heard of any soldier buying their own helmet and wearing it. The headline says equipment shortage but the article does not mention anywhere that there is a shortage of helmets. The picture looks like one of the trial helmets that DLR purchased and gave to 3 PPCLI to test before they...

    New Crown

    To be honest what the inside of a passport looks like doesn't bother me. I don't think I have ever looked beyond the page with my information and picture on it. I could not tell you what was on the other pages.
