Second career?

 

[Fishbone Jones]

But, Stolen Valour Canada says, Murray did not complete Canadian Forces recruit training, had fewer than two months of regular force service, was not an artilleryman, never qualified as a CF parachutist, never served in E Bty (Para) 2 RCHA, was never a member of the Canadian Airborne Regiment Battle Group and never served in Cyprus ...

, never passed a donut, never passed a double cream latte, never passed a PT test, never passed................

I'm out of ideas, carry on!

Hi DB, my GGF served with the S. African Union Defence Forces but was unde Brit command so I would likely be applying to the MOD to have the medal re-issued.

Yes, you would have to apply to the UK for a replacement (https://www.gov.uk/apply-medal-or-veterans-badge/replace-a-medal-or-badge)

However, here are some pertinent details from the website:

You can only get a replacement medal from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) if it was stolen or destroyed, for example in a fire or flood. The medal must have been awarded for service after World War 1.

You’ll need to show proof by providing a copy of either a:

police crime report

successful insurance claim listing the individual items

You can also buy replacement medals from a licensed medal dealer.

I'd like to see GBA+ patches on CAF members.  After all you can fake a jump course but who in their right mind would be able to fake that level of training?

I have my ORh+ patch from 5-11...and my Stupid Allergy patch...sure I can get them to do GBA+/- patches so the staff pukes that are paid to pay attention to that stuff can tell those that have and have not.

No way !!!

Yes, I have an O+ patch too....but I've spent my entire career wishing I had some way of signifying "Allergic to Stupidity."
Hell, some threads on this site alone......  >

Found it at Urban Tactical one day.  It's on my non-issue raid bag.  http://milspecmonkey.com/store/patches/272-stupid-allergy.html

Kind of off the subject but: Does anyone know how you go about replacing your miniatures? I am no longer serving and still have the main medals I was issued. An old MPRR could back the legitimacy up, but my small set went astray with my Mess kit buttons a couple of years back.

Umm, your miniatures are not issued, you can buy what ever you want and get them mounted.

I want to get one of those GBA+  made and rock it in Wainwright this year.  It'll be hotter than the trash dove.

Should go to the kit shop and see if they can get some made, both in GBA+ and GBA- and see who gets it...better yet, see what the CSM's/RSM do.  You could even start a rumour that the Army CWO will be adding them to the required patches list worn on combat uniform.

And a series of boot patches to show your defective footwear history would be really neat.  [

A badge showing everyone's spirit animal would be awesome.

Crap...now I wanna get back in....

OK I'm about to retire in 3 days. Can I still wear patches on my civvi stuff?

What's a GBA+ patch????

 

[OldSolduer]

I want a patch that states in three words or less how great I am.

Would this do?

My Grandfathers in WW1, and my Dad in WW2, wore a patch like that on the sleeves of their battledress blouses.

It said 'Canada'.

I'm guessing my first court martial  ;D

I did it today. It was as terrible as you think it is.

Just for giggles, I challenged the exam and got 9/10, so this course could be a 5 minute venture if you so desire.
