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...

Ok, I like this one better

It dosen't have to be exactly that, it just needs to be different so it's not confused with chevrons, bars, and pips and crowns. It needs to work in all three services.

Here is an idea of what the rank structure could look like. Still needs a bit of work, it looks a touch too American. I designed the ranks and rank names myself and then put it through AI for the final presentation.

You may be right. I'm not sure about the cadets, but the relationship between the Reg Force and Reserves is definitely much better than when I joined many moons ago. It's also becoming a common thing that we will see former Reg Force coming to the Reserves instead of just releasing more often...

I think I should be clear that my concerns with the CIC are based on the institution, not the vast majority of the people who make the Cadet program happen. Obviously with any organization, there are those outliers. I have met a lot of very good CIC officers, however, I have also met a few bad...

No, not at all. I am a strong supporter of the Cadet program (which I cannot say for a lot of the people I work with). I think that the program could benefit from changes, the same way the CAF is changing. I am simply asking is how effective is the Cadet program in it's current state to the...

No, that is the CAf's institutional need. Why should the CAF be funding a program unless it is benefiting the CAF with recruits. I'm not going to argue that there aren't civic and professional benefits for the cadets, because there are, but the end of the day is is not within the mission of the...

Well, I'm suggesting the CIC would function better and their relationship with the rest of the CAF would be better if the majority of them were not commissioned officers. There are more than a few people who have similar opinions.

Well it's either they are required to have the same qualifications as every other officer in the CAF, or if that is not needed, then they don't need to be commissioned officers. The majority of the CAF are not commissioned officers. They are still subject to the CSD and many of them can still...
