TF 03-08 Roto 6 Awards?

[X-mo-1979]

Having been home for quite a while now I was wondering if there were any awards given for roto 6?I have not seen anything on the GG website,but was wondering if anything was given at any of the parades lately.Or if anyone was in the know of when any medals for bravery etc would be presented (if any).It seemed the previous roto received theirs shortly after returning and I have heard nothing for roto 6.

I guess being home is award enough though!However I would love to know if anyone got awarded anything,as I have heard nothing.

Cheers all.

The last formal announcement of awards was in CANFORGEN 104/09, date the first of June.  They were mostly for the timeframe around TF 1-08; therefore I suspect any awards for TF 3-08 will come out in the late fall/early winter.

I don't have a calendar handy for the honours and awards committee, so that's the best estimate I can give.

Thanks Dapatterson.

One further note: With few exceptions, awards need go work their way through the DND bureaucracy and then hit the GG side, so timelines are not always as predictable as we might like.  In addition, the higher the level of the recommended award the more investigation that may be done.

Under the previous CDS there was a real push for H&R for Afghanistan to be done quickly; that sense of urgency seems to have faded.

Thanks again.You seem to be very knowledgeable in this subject.Look forward to seeing what happens in the fall. I agree that H&R has seemly slipped back.

I don't think it's so much that H&R has slipped as that other things have advanced.  Abbreviations like DFSR and Strat Review don't mean much if you're more than 25km from Ottawa, but they are attracting significant attention within the NDHQ bubble - meaning other things are getting less traction.

There were people from TF3-06 getting awards at my ceremony in Dec 08.... sometimes the process takes a while.

 

[2tall]

The awards for 2-08 were just announced last week. My guess would be late winter or early spring.

MIDs were announced last week. Some of the names I recgonize from 3-08. No citations made public at this time.

The list of MIDs is up on the Governor General`s website:

In addition, a list of Meritorious Service Decorations has been posted:

There actually is another list of awards that includes some TF 3-08 awards (incl the CO 3 RCR and CO OMLT among others).  It is a different list from the one that shows up on the GG's site but came out about the same time.

For some reason I get "access denied by security policy" when trying to access these links from a DWAN machine.

Try pressing F5; DND`s firewall policies are rather odd and sometimes permit access on a second try...

I went to the following page: http://www.canada.gc.ca, and I clicked the tab for "Governor General", and I got this:

Awesome.  Pure awesome.  I can't access my Commander in Chief's website due to security policy.  I also F5'd the shit out of it, to no avail.

Anyway....c'est la vie, n'est-ce pas?

Same here.

Obviously you can't be trusted to view the GG's internet site.  What is your security clearance, Citizen?

(Now that the bad sci fi RPG comment is out of the way...)

Where is that list published?
