*NEW* Canadian Forces Ranks and Insignias cheat sheet help

[lukey8ball]

Hello all, I have a mission for somebody. I am quite unskilled at making creative things and was wondering if anybody would be interested in helping me by making a sort of cheat sheet that can be hung up at my clothing store location. the idea would be to have it places in plain view for all to see and use.

For this, I would like the examples from the wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Forces_ranks_and_insignia#)

If something like this already exists, then if you could kindly point me in the proper direction, that would be awesome.

Thanks in advance

There's a chart already in the system. I'm sure your SgtMaj could help you out.

Except the Air Force page has not been updated.  Try this one for RCAF: http://www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/assets/AIRFORCE_Internet/images/news-nouvelles/2014/09/fa2014-0031m-lower-res.jpg

Exactly my point

The RCAF will commence implementation March 2015 with the expected completion in time for the Battle of Britain ceremonies in September 2015.
This means no change to the current RCAF insignia it officially changes over.

Except of course if you are the CDS et al.

Just curious; since the CDS and the Comd RCAF have swapped over, do their (RCAF) ADCs and/or EAs swap as well to match?

The CWOs have also swapped.

I saw some of the RCAF Captains sporting the new rank insigina on their shirts yesterday at a briefing.  I have to admit, they look OK.  The leather jacket with metal rank insignia on the other hand, not so much...

I just saw an RCAF BGen wearing the leatherjacket at the Rideau Centre in Ottawa.  I couldn't tell his rank until I was literally beside him.  Is this some RCAF conspiracy to have their Officers jack everyone up for not saluting or forcing everyone to salute them because they're not sure?  Yeah, I know that their rank is spelled out on their name tag but as a lowly Army guy I kind of like to know well beforehand when I have to salute vice squinting to look for their rank - my eye sight is 20/20.
I wish that the RCAF CWO sort this out soon.  How about getting a dress committee or hiring a contractor to look into this?  Hi-vis ranks on the jackets?  Reflective name tags with their ranks in large glowing type face?

But the Rideau Centre is a "No Saluting Zone".      [

I feel your pain.  There must have been a sale on the Top Gun jackets recently as I have run into a least a Sqn or two worth of fighter aces running around with them on here at work.  The metal rank insiginia are almost impossible to read until you're practically F2F.  Poor design, I agree.

If only there were more contractors, we'd soon have these nagging fashion crises sorted out..... then we could focus on bigger HQs!  :cheers:


Wow, I managed to combine several of my personal bêtes noires.  I'm practically ready to wade back into the mindlessly repetitive politics and global warming threads.

I think I'll just lay down until that thought passes  ;D

Relax.  It's after 11am.  The bars are now open.

If there was only a rank indicator that one could wear on the shoulders which is easy to see...

AND.....it's Friday.  TGIF after yet another  grueling week.    :nod:

Pace yourself; I'm sure you're still recovering from yesterday's TGIT.
