34 and 38 are the most common sizes... and guess what sizes didn't come in my store's shipment? Yep. And I don't know why my stores are STILL insisting that we have to be done our trades course..... :-\ And TacVests for recruits????? I think i'm in the wrong unit.

I respect veterans from that era so much, and a lot of people ask me what my fascination with WW2 is. I tell them this: Back then, they didn't have computers or satellites or good radios to help them. Their tanks had hydraulic systems to move the turret (most of them, at least. some early ones...

I just want it because everyone else has it, and it's more useful in the field than OD...

The one thing that bugged me, though, is when they showed the ceremony in Ottawa (which was nice and all) they got the cadets to escort the dignitaries up to the wreath laying and it was HORRIBLE. I almost cried. 1. Only ONE cadet out of the whole lot saluted properly. The rest were piss poor...

What am I supposed to do? my QM is still saying we need our QL3 to get them!

Indeed. We owe all our freedom to those brave men who landed either behind the wall the night before or that morning on the beach. My Grandfather had 5 kids so they wouldn't let him go to war. But it's really the little people you that don't get due respect. The war wouldn't have gotten...

You're very talented, what with being able to judge my sexual orientation from a single post over the internet and all.

Thank you for that oh so vital information. My day is now complete.

you don't put it on your back if you're going to be ruck-marching... there was a thread about good places to put it a while ago.....

This photo is not altered in any way. Hehe.... they'd blend right in... at the carnival.

Do NOT do that. Instructors can and will mooch them off you like crazy!

You should when you get kitted. You *might* get a nice orange jumpsuit, but that's only due to lack of uniforms.

That I know for a fact is wrong, because my BMQ was the last one in the country to be issued ODs. Everyone gets CadPat now.

Try not using an american site for your references.

I read it on the official memo taped to my QM's desk.... straight from the top.

I agree on the fact that BMQ should get ODs and then you get CadPat once you finish basic, but it would be a logistics nightmare. Do I need an appointment or should I just waltz on in?
