Actually, the dress manual never allowed a beret with 1 or 1a. The directive indicated above was issued, as was explained to me, because of the very thing I mentioned earlier; folks running around with berets on.  That CANAIRGEN came out to clarify what most already knew. As for wearing the...

True, it is within the scope of their duties/responsibilities.  But in this case, it's not a regulation YET.  They're just mulling it over.  Which means they are spending time and energy to come up with a rule based on their OWN personal taste, under the auspices of uniformity/combating...

Wow.  Really?  Calling me a liar because what?  I don't blindly accept that everything makes sense and that my "beloved CF" is perfect and flawless?  "Entitled Gen Xer".  Bravo.  Just what we need.  More inter-generational rivalry. For a start, never did I talk about allowances, or mentioned...

Ahhh thank you.  Someone who actually addresses the original question with a thought, rather than by simply regurgitating policy.  This said, it is not a battle I am fighting; just a question I asked on a forum.  At work, I do what I am told.  But I'm not at work, so I can ask questions.  I...

Yet, dress regs prohibit certain qualification and formation badges and accoutrements from being worn on a blue (but not a real RCAF) uniform.  This suggests that there IS a difference, no?  And no, I'm not suggesting that we should blatantly ignore certain infractions, even though that sort of...

Again, I agree with you in part.  Please note that I'm not forgetting  the duties of these individuals. But, it's something that also bothers me... we use a lot of public monies (while state coffers are in the pooper) to pay 80k+ salaries to people so that (amongst other things), they can tell...

Exactly right.  It's isn't a new concept to me.  That's not to say it isn't an idiotic concept.  And perhaps you're right; I should concern myself with something more important.  But one of my original points was that some folks who actually make these decisions should themselves worry about...

You are absolutely correct in every point you bring up, and I thank you for what you have brought to the table.  Indeed, it IS up the the commander's discretion to authorise these sorts of items.  That said, the impetus behind my original post is the hypocrisy of certain leaders when they decide...

I am indeed forecasting.  As to Army members wearing air force rain jackets and vice versa, that is exactly my point.  Why make a fuss about the fleece, but not about the rain jacket?  I'm simply arguing that it seems some folks want to make up local regulations when it suits them.  And you're...

A CANAIRGEN was published outlining the regulations concerning the newish Air Force specific fleece shirt.  I can't list it here off the top of my head, but please believe me, it's out there.  In a nutshell, it states that the shirt can be work as an inner or outer garment, to and from work; so...

Sorry.  To clarify, I was referring to the monthly allowance currently in place.

We've just been briefed that LDA will be phased out, possibly as soon as next fiscal, and that the CF are re-instating FOA.  Has anyone else heard such rumblings?
