Canadian military official faces charges of wearing unearned medals
The wrap up of Op Attention this month brings the end of Canada's military mission in Afghanistan. Is there any indication that there will be a mission conclusion parade in Ottawa, similar to the Op Mobile "Mission Recognition and Commemoration Parade"?

I'm changing trades and Air Nav is one of the options. I wrote the Air Nav exams about 5-6 years ago, but failed. So, I'm going to write it again soon.
