Special Service Medal - Domestic Operations Bar

[rmc_wannabe]

so, it appears the rule for service badges handed out with service/release certificates have been adjusted to include veterans who don't hold a CD. perhaps this may suffice short of a service medal or home service bar.........

Some quick math against CRA will see a sharp decline in gold or platinum being handed out unless they're prior service honoraries or Canadian Rangers

Gold and Platinum are unchanged. They have always been tied to CD + Bars.

I wouldn't think so, the idea for the Domestic Service Medal is for named domestic missions. All this has done is so disvalue this pin.

How long were you in? If you’re a bronze pin, somehow I ended up with two. I’ll send you one.

Very generous of you, but he should be able to get his own. I waited four and a bit years after my release to get mine and pestered the system to "do things right", which is what @Booter should be able to do.

Excellent and comprehensive work. Well done.

It is a good list but needs to more narrow in its focus as it combines training with actual operations. The qualifying criteria for a domestic operations should be whether or not the operation is a result of an federal Order in Council for military assistance either under the War Measures Act (October Crisis), the Emergency Measures Act or under the National Defense Act. For example, "Operation Nanook" or "Operation New Viking" in the Canadian arctic are important but don't quality as actual domestic operations.
