Reminds of a story I read in the paper.

Next to him, a folded cardboard sign said: “I am in the Canadian Forces posted to Cold Lake with family any spare change will help.”

After Cold Lake soldier caught busking to make ends meet, viability of military pay in booming &amp#039;little Fort McMurray&amp#039; called into question

'I do that because we don’t have any money to pay our rent basically'

Apparently he's a Recruiter from 'back East' somewhere.

This picture showed up in a “Cornwallis alumni” FB group and the comments were pretty harsh.

“Ya. And we’d rip the observer seat out of the Lynx. You’d strap down cases of Heineken for the obs seat and you knew you needed more beer when the obs couldn’t see anymore because he was too drunk or too short hahahaha!”

Nope, because:

I wonder if they chatted up the Five Man Electrical Band for that one...

I'm confused. Dude has curly hair, and for some reason people are freaking out?

Some people aren't really into the new rules....

I think that we will see some limits come back eventually, particularly if the public decides we don't look "professional" enough.

I think it's the combination of the curly hair with the untidy beard.

Taxpayer ( voter ) support is needed for the pay, benefits and working conditions our uniformed services deserve.

It would be nice if people read the regs and made sure they had things right; simple things like a command badge.

Attention to detail is something we need to get back to.

The defenders of the new dress "policy" (free for all?) can defend it all they want.

Rest assured many in the public are not impressed with it. at all. I am not talking ex-CAF members either.

Your appearance is the first impression you get to make.

He's apparently a recruiter, so the badge is correct, if a bit high on the pocket. Hardly a major dress infraction, and one the public would never notice.

You want to have a fun time with command badge placement, look at the navy DEU... there is no pocket, so they end up in some weird places.

I will contest that there were changes needed to avoid the "but what about?" scenarios that were coming up. Same with the move away from a "Male/Female" dress pattern. What we have now are 360° Arcs and it's gone completely off the chain.

I wouldn't blame them. We needed a course correction, not a circus.

Your appearance is the first impression you get to make.

Agreed.

I work for an iconic company now and am in a Leadership position. If I showed up to a meeting looking like that, I'd be getting pulled aside for an informal conversation on ensuring my dress and deportment "reflects positively on the company".

Agreed. Even many in our partner nations are saying WTF. This is an epic fail and a joke. Who's idea was this anyway?
