Special Service Medal - Domestic Operations Bar

Ironically the RCN, which has every sort of trade-related festoonment on their service dress, doesn’t have a trade badge on NCDs. I also think the RCAF CADPAT-wearing folks should also wear trade badges, so I know at a glance who is what.

But I draw the line at ribbons - that’s not operationally necessary or useful.

But back to the DOMOPS recognition - maybe a nice sleeve patch? :sneaky:
In fairness, I was refering to the old bus driver work dress we wore pre-CADPAT.

Make a new DOMOPS ribbon for the OSM, and give rotation bars for every 180 days after the initial issue criteria, like the GCS, GSM, and OSM already have.

Didn’t historically, the RCN (and RN) have trade badges on the ratings’ work dress?
 
I have been working on getting the paperwork done for my Cadets to get their medal. I am seeing people stating they won't be allowed to wear it on the Air/Sea/Army Cadet uniform. So I ask what is the point of a medal they can only wear for at best a year and never wear again?
 
Some people want everything/anything that can identify them as veterans or current military members to the general public.

I read that about four times and I still have no idea what that's supposed to cover.
 
I anxiously await the first person who “mistakenly” wears them on the other side (with the medals) and gets called out for Stolen Valour.

New 'DISTANTIA' bar created for the Special Service Medal.

Huh. For once awards didn’t come 4 years later than the act.
