I have been out of the C&E branch for 17 years.   Do the army version folks still wear "signals" on the slip on?   Having done both an Air Force and Infantry tour as a jimmy, I'd have to say signals would be a poor choice for the branch name.   My couple pennies.  

some of us wear "transmissions" on our slip-ons

....but no one here is talking with an outragous accent!!!!!!

Hey,

its ARMY.ca so it should be SIGNALS, not C & E. If it was ADMIM.CA then it could be C & E....

Sounds a bit Racist to me...    ;D

or is that 'elitist'?

Sorry, I'm stuck in ADM(IM) land and its not all its cracked up to be.... Although the view of the Canal from high up in the puzzle palace is sweet!

 

[Radop]

bad signalsguy, bad

 

[buzgo]

Well anyway  ;D

I'm sticking with my idea, SIGNALS! Screw C & E... All the C & E branch ever does is try to take our money, and feed us gross cake once a year... ick

What ever (note stated with lots of attitude)!  lol.  C&E has a bad rap but I think we need to take control back of our branch.  I like what the current administrator is doing to promote the fund.  When he came to the Regt, he never said it was our responsibility to support the fund but gave us some examples of what the fund could do for us now and what it could do if everyone contributed.  I am giving them 3 yrs to show the goods (two kids enter university in that time period).  It is important to identify problems and provide solutions to correct the problems encountered in the past with the fund.  I only saw the funding of mess diners for the snr staff the golf tournaments, curling tournaments and retreats that I rarely was given the opertunity to participate.  Hopefully this will change.

 

[buzgo]

So are we changing the name or what?!  ;D

 

[Sig_Des]

Why don't we just make it "Transmissions"?  ^-^

 

[Radop]

oui, tabernaque (or how ever you spell it)

FYI,

All the sub boards under the Combat Service Support Board are named the same as their official branch titles.
That was intentional. We moved away from slang earlier this year..  i.e. "medics", "signals" .

Cheers,

OM

 

[buzgo]

My slip-ons have slang on them?

Better go wash them then 

I've got piles of  CFMS, Medical, and this Fd Amb or that Fd Amb,
but none of those are my branches name.

Ok,

but MY slip-ons say SIGNALS on them no matter where I am posted (mostly - keep reading), just like my brass shoulder titles on my DEU. They don't say 'C & E BRANCH'  (I realize that SIGNALS pers can wear unit titles, 2 CER used to do it, don't know if they still do - and 2 SVC BN as well - probably other places too)

My whole point is that since this is supposedly an ARMY website, then the name of the 'c & e' sub-board should follow ARMY lingo - it should be called SIGNALS...

So what?  What about the guys who don't wear "SIGNALS" on their Slip-ons?

 

[buzgo]

The only people in the C & E branch that wear Signals accoutrements are ARMY element people. All of the airforce and navy people wear Canada slipons.


- I'm just arguing for the sake of arguing at this point anyway....
