Where do you find combats for cadets in Ontario?

[Pte. Albano]

I joined cadets in September and my corps CO keeps on telling us to go to an army surplus and go buy combats. I do not know any stores near my area and any websites that offer them. Please help me!

Try the yellow pages, I searched on Canada 411 and got 87 hits for surplus stores in Ontario.

well first were is your area?

if you are in toronto there are several good ones, the best being beavers surplus. cadets get a 10 % discount there.

and 2nd the CO cant force you to go out and buy combats. they are not mandatory. i got mine before i got my dress uniform, but i was really wanting to get them not cause my CO said i had to get them

if you go to http://maps.google.com/ at the top click on "Local Search" and then type in "Army Surplus" in the first box and "the name of your city, ontario" in the second box it should give you locations of stores in your area.

I live in Tornto Area. Probably I over exgratted about my CO forcing us. It is just that I really want to get mine ASAP.

OK well your best bet would be beavers surplus.

Definitely Beaver Surplus.

They do (or did) have a program where you could exchange purchased Mk3 combat boots when you grew out of them.

I'm pretty sure you had to pay a little bit too, and the boots had to be in re-sellable condition.

They still do that.


I got my combats at Beaver Surplus, it has good prices and you get 10% off for being a cadet.
The only bad about Beaver there's no cadpat.

If you want cadpat go to Nick'c sports shop at 610 Younge Street in Toronto and DON"T GET FAKES LOOK AT THE POCKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Call them at 416-925-1060

ya when ever i go there they always remember me. they even remember my corp number when i go. i never need to remind them. the reason they always remember me is because i always go there looking for things and they never have anything to fit me (well the odd time).  they have told me they remember me because of my size lol
