Loachman said:If they're young corporals and privates, and mostly from reserve units, they're door gunners. All of the guys that we trained in Borden last year were reservists.
It will take me a long time to get used to seeing balmorals worn with flying suits (the traditional Canadian term, "flight suit" is American), but I like it.

A Balmoral is a similar shape, but usually a different (dark blue with red and white dicing) colour and worn with a dress uniform of some kind.
