CF dress

[Uberman]

Could someone direct me to a site that has the various formal / work and field dress uniforms.

Here is the link to the online version of the dress manual - ftp://hr.ottawa-hull.mil.ca/Downloads/Dhh/CFPs/cfp265.pdf

Being a non DND type I don't think I can access that site

[medicineman]

You should be able to - it's not a restricted site.

Medicineman: It may be non-restriced, but it is still a DIN site, and without access to the DIN, he would have no way of looking at it.

Are you looking for pictures, or other information?

 

[Uberman]

Just looking for the pictures Neill. If I get an offer I'm going to have to choose an element. I know what the army winter / summer dress is like (assuming it hasn't changed in 15 years) but I had no real exposure to the Air Force or Navy. I realize there is more to choosing an element than just the uniforms, but at least I could have a look at what I'd be wearing for the next X years. Thanks for the help.

Try this: http://www.recruiting.forces.gc.ca/engraph/home/jobs_e.aspx lists the various jobs in the Forces, and many of the pages you can see from there include a video about the job.  Watching a few of the videos should give you a look at various uniforms.

Army dress has changed significantly: there's no longer any seasonal variation (green all year now) or any garrison dress (combats instead).

Damn, I like the Summer Tan CF's. Not struck on the greens all year - thicker material. Wearing combats as garrison dress would be cool; better than the polyester pants with parade boots.

Does anyone know the link to the list for the dress uniform...e.g. No. 1, No.2 ... and what they consist of...?  I know it's been posted here before, but I did a search and could not find it.

Just out of curiosity...Tell me you're not choosing your element based on the uniform...please

In a sufficiently purple trade, it might just come down to that.

 

[Uberman]

No, it isn't a fashion contest. I've pretty much picked my element; I just haven't seen the dress for a very long time and wanted to see what it looked like now. From what I've read on the posts the uniforms have had a dramatic change ie. no more tans for army, cadpat replaced OD etc. Just curious more than anything. I wouldn't be so disrespectful to an element to simply pick one based on whether the DEU matches my hair.

Nothing wrong with that if you are purple.  I know at least four persons in purple trades who chose Navy because of the uniform... and one other who wants to switch from Air to Navy for the same reason.

 

[Gramps]

Many people in my trade have chosen to change from green to blue mainly because most of our tradesmen work in the Air environment so that could also be a reason for someone changing element. Out of about 17 people that I work with there are only two (including myself) that wear green.

1978, after I had already â Å“signed on the dotted lineâ ? and was waiting for a course loading date, my mom, came back home from Trenton (we lived in Borden at the time), and suggested that I should request the â Å“Parachute Regimentâ ? after Cornwallis.  The reason, she said, was because while waiting in the terminal in Trenton for the IBBS (Inter-Base Bus Service), she observed a member of this â Å“Parachute Regimentâ ? who looked so smart in his SSF CF's.  She went on to gush over his maroon beret, arm patches, HIGHLY shone SSF boots worn â Å“army-style with the pants tucked in.â ?

After grad parade at CFB London, mom came up to me and congratulated me on my choice of unit because we all looked â Å“so dashingâ ? just like that young man in Trenton.

Well, anything to make mom happy.... ;D
