How Long Have You Served in the CF?

[bily052]

Started in '89 at 700 Borden Comm Sqn as a RAD op  (can I say pimply bum here?) did a year of that and saw the light.  Re-mustered to the best trade in Sigs 052 Lineman! 

Component transfer to Regs in '97 posted to 76 Comm Gp Ottawa then in '04 to CFJSR 1 Line.

Loved it all along, seen parts of the country and world not many get to.  (soon to be another)

hehe.... nah, still a young pup.... need a 2nd clasp to be a member of the "real old boys" club

Nah, that would be the geriatrics club  ;D (I crack myself up  ;D)

EDIT

I hope no one takes offence to what I wrote above, I have sincer admiration for those that have been around long enough to get a second clasp for the CD.  :cheers:

I am a new comer to your site but,i have been reading it's content for some time .I have joined the Canadian Army in 1964(yes yes I'm that old) and retired in 1986.I don't know how your service number works out today but mine started with SD 197XXX.
Thank you for the dedication all of you show to your duty

Attended my last Remembrance Day Ceremony wearing the Queen's uniform on Saturday. As Nfld Sapper states, a member of the geriatrics club.
Joined cadets in Sept 1960, and the Army Reserves in Oct 1962. Will retire from the Reserves in Aug 2007. CD and 3 clasps occasionally raises eyebrows. A CWO I know, who is with the Cadet Regional office, wears the same.
The remainder of my service will be full of last times, including doing my BFT last month.

Well, I guess I've served long enough to be awarded my clasp for my CD.  Found out last night at a mess function that I am to be on parade this coming week in order to receive this 'illustrious' award. Don't worry, I shan't amend my post-nominals to read "CD1".

As an aside, I have a BA.  In which order are they listed?  Is it "Joe Schmoe CD, BA" or "Joe Schmoe BA, CD"?

(maybe it should be listed as being : ABCD)  (JK)

:rofl:

You know what?  That is honestly the first time I have ever noticed that!

Thanks for the laugh.

Cheers
