Container said:Its a good question....not the usual subject matter I get myself concerned with. But I know several guys with the Jordan training gong on the end....they were all declined permission to wear it.
Not that I give much of a damn...but as a side bar. I mean it wouldnt be the first time where things are decided two ways
I can't speak to this specific case, but there are times when one person will be legitimately denied permission to wear a medal while another will be legitimately granted permission to wear the same one. It would all depend on the circumstances. For example, one CF member could be denied permission to wear a certain foreign medal because Canada has issued another medal for the same service (we have a policy against dual recognition). At the same time another CF member who earned the same foreing medal while a member of a foreign armed force at the time in question, could be granted permission to wear it upon joining the CF at a later date.
