Thank you very much!!! Ive been looking for some official documentation on this. Not just some one else interpretation or what they think.  ;D

I have just put the applications in for 6 cadets for the 5 year medal and one for 5 and 1. All I need to know is how long will it take to get them to give out to the cadets.

 

[Chief03]

Its suppose to take untill the next year after the application is sent in unless the five years has already passed than maybe some time during the year.

i personally think this is a great idea, and a bit of an incentive to newer cadets to stay in for awile, and achieve things of wonder.

but i can also see the other side of the arguement that states: "it is just another shiny thing to hang off of your uniform and to make us look more 'americanized' "

but i feel the pros outweigh the cons, and i have already handing in my application for medal + 1 bar to my corps CO

I was wondering when do I apply. This is my fifth year I just started in Sept. and I was wondering because It is suposed to be presented at a big event such as an annual so If I apply next Sept. than I wont get it untill 2 annuals from now?
Regards,

i suggest talking it over with your CO or other such officer, they will either recommend you apply now, or apply at the end of your 5th year

the requirements states that to be awarded, the cadet must have completed 5 years service

I wish it would have been out when i was a cadet - how sweet it would have been to have 4 medals - ANAVETS, LSM, LME

If you were an Army cadet for 5 years you could buy one

LOL

Well theres a pretty good chance. Navy cadets have one, and now the army cadets finally got one. Its only a matter of time now I believe.

The "scrunchies" that you are talking about I am asuming are the blouser elastics that make blousing the pants a lot easyer then with the strings, since they just wrap aound and you tuck the pants under it as opposed to tying the strings and trying to role the pants up with them.

the blouser elastics

Would that be boot bands?

 

[Reimer]

Would that be boot bands?

yes, yes they would be.

 

[Sgt_McWatt]

WOW! That was pretty off topic not even about the same uniform. Anyways got my ACSM last Monday, although I was eligible for my medal plus one bar as of January...Guess there a little behind on them?

The Army Cadet League of Canada has lowered the qualifying time for the Service Medal to 4 years.  Annoying to me (lol) because I'm with a provincial league and made up a bunch of blank certificates.  Now I have to throw those ones out and make more.
