On April 9th, I will get my complete copy of the CF dress regs. I guess that I will look it up in there to see what the regs are, and then I will not have the problem anymore. I just don't understand why water is not okay for a toast. I've always noticed that if someone does not want port...

St-Jean-sur-Richelieu is quite a military city. It has the ASU St-Jean which is part of the CFB Montréal, and the old Collège militaire royal de St-Jean is still used by the Canadian Forces (now under the name Collège Fort St-Jean). Even though their is a lot of military personnel that still...

I should if I want to really prove that I respect the norms of the medals given within the Canadian Cadet Movement ... however I got it framed two years ago, and it would be a shame to brake it open (the frame did cost $50 for a $9 medal (and with mounting at William Scully, it would be $14).

A few months ago, I found that someone was selling the RCN officer buttons on e-Bay (which were used before unification). I won them, and now they are on my uniform. Therefore, I am no longer wearing the generic NCM uniform buttons. It's funny, I have a tunic of a non-commissioned officer...

Actually, it is acceptable to toast with water nowadays because the Canadian Forces are not permitted to make you drink if you do not want to. My former Commanding Officer doesn't drink, and therefore she has always toasted with water. I guess that you are correct about 2B being the only...

Good morning! As a cadet, I got the Royal Canadian Legion Medal of Cadet Excellence. Even though I was the first to get it in a 10 year period at my unit, I did not get it because I had the criteria to get it. The CO at the time expressed it clearly that as my unit's cox'n, it was not an...

Hi everyone! I'm a naval CIC officer that does not have a mess kit yet, therefore I wear 2B dress for mess dinner. I was wondering what the name tag norm was more this order of dress. On the mess kit that are made, you should not wear a name tag, however with the service uniform jacket, was is...

As of my knowledge, Aviation CIC officers will be getting their combats A-SAP. Hopefully one day we navy CIC officer might get them because our Naval Combats in the woods does not make any sence (and this is why our FTX is always in civies for everyone). If I become a gunnery officer this...

Hi! Seeing that I am a "navy type" I've only worn a CADPAT uniform for one weekend in my life, and that was because I was on my MOC(N) course, and we were permitted to have two sets as a temporary issue. As I've stated many times in the past, I understand why CIC officers were not the first...

I will say this .... hopefully there is an understanding heart out there that will understand your story and allow you to take the course. I wish you good luck! (I hope that your get it)

I would recommend people to read ERCO 701 (www.cadets.net/est/intro_e.asp - look it up in the library and then ERCO, you will be able to find it) which explains what should be issued to CIC officers. It has the references of D01, D02 and D03 I believe. This is what I got for my initial issue at...

Well, maybe that something that you can do is to sujest that a Central Region CIC Officer Assoication (or Circle) could be created through RCIS Central. They will probably look into the Eastern Region CIC Officer Circle (COCRE) from help into creating the organisation. Then, this could be...

It's more the Eastern Region's CIC Officer Circle (which is an iniciative of RCIS (Eastern) that will be giving these coins from now on for free to graduates of the CIC obligatory training programme (graduates are officers completing the Captain's Qualification). However, all other Lieutenant(N)...

And it is offered through our RCIS. I finally understood why we would have two coins here in Québec. CIC officers could get the Challenge Coin if they want to, and they will recieve that COCRE (Cercle des officiers CIC de la région de l'est) only after they graduate from the CIC training...

I had to go by Longue-Pointe today, and I did ask the question to a Corporal at the supply store. He did tell me that regimental buttons have to be bought with non-public funds. Therefore, when I will make my proposition, I will ask that it is not an obligation to get them. It would not be fair...

Actually. other than naval CIC officers in CADPAT, I can say that I've seen a Leading Seaman at ASU Longue-Pointe's supply store that spends his days in CADPAT uniform (and had the right to be mad when I called him Corporal ... the anchor is so hard to see).

Thank you Captain for your support. In about two months, the Eastern Region's CIC Officer Circle will have a meeting of its members, and I will try to see if I can not make the proposition. However, I will propose that these buttons will be an opinional item for Army CIC officers that really...

I just wanted to say that these are inspiring words sir. CIC officers should be proud of what we do because I believe that our job is probably one of the most important in the CF because : a) we are able to shape the lives and help teenagers for the better, b) in smaller areas the CIC officers...

RCIS (Eastern) has its own CIC coin from graduated of the RCIS training programme ... after completion of the Captain Qualification Course. Here is the picture: I would like to know the criteria for the other coin. Thank you. Good day!

Hi again! I am wondering one thing on what you said.  Are you thinking that I want the CIC to wear the buttons of affiliated units? That is how I am understanding your text, and that was not what I was proposing. I was proposing a distinict button for CIC army officers, instead of the general...
