And second...

Why oh why would you have a second? Not learn from the first???

Some people learn slowly.

Garrison dress?

If it was made of material that was breathable, wasn’t stiff and didn’t wrinkle as soon as you finished ironing it (preferably didn’t need ironing), can wear boots that don’t require an entire tin of Kiwi, didn’t have a ridiculous camo jacket made of stiff plastic and didn’t keep you warm unless it was summer, etc., etc.

Otherwise, it was fine.

My understanding, from having partially overheard the conversation, is that the new shirt would be a "walking out dress" option that wasn't designed for shipboard emergencies.

Most of the CAFs "operational dress is for operations" foolishness could be solved by the elements coming up with q comfortable, affordable, and low maintenence service dress.

LOL. I can just hear the cries of anguish from the "gate and gaiters" face book page that laments the wearing of NECU in offices and abating a return to the pre unification bell bottoms.

I know someone that is on number 4. It's a mystery to us all.

What are the odds they could just give us a simple standard work shirt, kind of like the old blue NCD shirt, that just didn't have the FR requirement? I really liked that one., and basically most police and fire service shirts fit the bill and have standard cotton shirts with shoulder straps for the ranks, with a few pockets in front with a convenient pen holder.

We already have some in the system for the station wear for the DND fire fighters, so wouldn't even have to come up with bespoke ones.

Edit: For reference, pretty close to the dark navy ones on this site; but sure we could also get them in black

It's experiential learning. Just like in the military or medicine. See one, do one, teach one. Wait, that didn't sound right.

As long as it's wash-and-wear, and doesn't require an iron or dry cleaning to meet the expected standard, I'd love to have that option.

I think it's pretty similar to the old blue NCD shirt; as long as you hang it up after taking it out of the dryer it looks fine. The stationwear for the fire service folks generally looks pretty sharp, and I think the pants have a sewn in crease (that isn't as brutal as the ones on the old NCD pants so don't really need ironing either if you do the same.

Either way, plenty of off the shelf options with shoulder straps for the ranks that we could get so wouldn't be sweating our asses off. At Carling now with combats as the dress of the day I tend to take it off at my desk now, as well as take it off in the car so really just wear it walking around campus.
