Not to be rude, but I would recomment to save your money for something more important.

inch... crosses are religious and are allowed to be worn by both the CF and cadets under QR&O's and CATO's. As for cadets in combats, they are not supposed to wear them, unless they are issued, and now with the new uniforms, cadets that buy uniforms from Canadian Peacekeeper (CFGear) they are not permitted to wear a head dress or rank with the uniform, because they look to much like the real thing and it is hard to distinguish between a soldier and a cadet. As for cadets getting issued tags, they still do that for the para course and a few exchanges. but like everyone said, we are not to dictate how he spends his money. i hope this anwswers any questions.
cheers,

No, we are allowed to wear combats even when they are not issued. Cadets are authorized to wear CF Combats at no cost to the public. Can't post a link, but that is pretty much straight out of the CATO's almost word for wordhopefully airborne soon said:As for cadets in combats, they are not supposed to wear them, unless they are issued

We are instructed to wear our headdress and rank insignia to help distinguish us from the "real thing"hopefully airborne soon said:they are not permitted to wear a head dress or rank with the uniform, because they look to much like the real thing and it is hard to distinguish between a soldier and a cadet.

Close to being true. As the quote was misinterpreted this response is slightly incorrect. The actual quote is...CATO 55-04] CF combat clothing. Cadets are authorized to wear CF combat clothing during Sqn survival exercises when authorized by the Sqn CO. A headdress (the wedge or blue beret with the Air Cadet hat insignia said:We are instructed to wear our headdress and rank insignia to help distinguish us from the "real thing"
So what he said was true from a certain point of view(he he, go Obi-Wan!). The Frontenac(sp?) crap is not CF combat clothing, therefore the headdress and slip-ons are not to be worn.hopefully airborne soon said:cadets that buy uniforms from Canadian Peacekeeper (CFGear) they are not permitted to wear a head dress or rank with the uniform, because they look to much like the real thing and it is hard to distinguish between a soldier and a cadet.
