The fact that he was no longer serving should lead this to not being attached to the unit long term, as opposed to the CAR being associated with Somiliaia or that incident that occurred with a couple of Queen's Own Rifles a few years back while they were wearing their uniforms.

To a certain extent you will see that in many rural areas. Although, definitely some are a lot worse than others. The other thing is that people are becoming a lot more open about sharing their opinions then they were say two years ago. The comments section on most Facebook post about drive or...

I accepted the fact that my generation will never be able to retire many years ago.

I'm wondering how long before Canexit becomes a slogan after this affiliated membership thing.

Like the rest of society, mess culture has changed where there are far fewer of the new people who don't drink or drink less, plus many messes now have reduced hours due to C-o-C wanting to limit their liability. Many newer troops don't go to the mess very often unless they are required to...

Are you suggesting doing two weekends a month as opposed to one weekend and parade nights like some remote regiments do it? That is good in theory, but there are a number of issues with it. First of all, this isn't as bad as it used to be, but the assumption that the reserves still seems to...

In reality it is essentially a reactivation of 3 CMBG, without the Mechanized and Group parts.

And when do you think would be a better time for training?

I don't like the direction that that is going.

Has there been any official announcement about the 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards?

That is allowed now. They look like they got nice new ones. I'm worried I'm going to end up with something that was pulled off a Van Doo.

I guess it's Facebook official.

Can we just call it a Brigade, that's what it is, even if it doesn't have all of the supporting units the other Brigades have.

Well, a few people were confused when getting dressed today.

Have they actually said that their will be no formations patches on the new service dress?

Well, I mean they are exactly the same as before. The people in 34 and 35 CBG don't even need to change theirs.

I assumed that that was a typo for the Reg Force Brigades. That being said, when they were originally formed in the First World War, that's what they were referred to as, 1st Canadian Infantry Brigade, etc.

I had to go check if these were real. Which is basically a daily occurrence now. So, I have not found a fake one.

I was more referring to them joining the reserves. I don't expect cadets to drop out of high school to join the regular force. Either way, we do need to have a larger capacity for training regardless.

The Supp Res are not current members of the CAF. The Canadian Rangers There could be some arguments to end the Cadet program at 16 to encourage more former cadets to join. Essitianlly create a natural transisition. For a lot of them this could mean they would be BMQ and trades qualified...
