To be fair, nothing says that Jr Ranks can't wear Mess Dress

All animals are equal, some are more equal than others.

I mean the cadets wear them., So.....

I don't think that there is a wide enough scoop to account for different skills and the actual requirements of the job, for example a PRES Capt 10 makes the same amount as a CIC Capt 10.

A couple thoughts. You would lose a lot of people if it was only a once a year thing. That would lead to significant skill fade. I don't really know if some people understand how active the reserves actually are. There may be very small minimal requirements for parading, but you have to remember...

I don't know of any unit called "The Royal Canadian Air Force."

What about the rest of the CAF?

This was supposed to be in the new DEU thread. I don't know how it ended up here.

While I know that you are referring to the CAR, but there are other examples that are not so drastic. I imagine if we got rid of the regimental system, we would a lot of Sr NCO/WO's VR. I have heard it said by many on many occasions, I hate the army, but I love the regiment and thats the only...

It only took seven months for mine and part of that was waiting for an important enough event to give it to me.

The OSM and GSM need to be redesigned. Only the back of the GCS needs to be changed. I have a friend who is due for his CD, I have reminded him that he may be waiting for awhile as they redesign it.

Also, because we are talking about medals, the topic of the King's Coronation Medal will come up soon.

It really just depends if it's in the Order of Precedence or not. There have been many Provincial Medals that have been approved by the GG to be included. It makes it pretty simple, if the medal is on that list, wear it on the left side, if it's not (and I know many emergency services are guilty...

Don't they already have to redesign most of the medals anyways?

My unit only gave me the regimental items, I had to assemble all the other parts off eBay, land force command badge, trade badge, rank pins, and when I got promoted new ranks, just because my unit didn't have them. The expectation at that point was that you would order a new jacket of...

I just want to say that the quote that is attributed to me saying that I am in the Navy was not written by me.

Wait the Air Force wants to wear ball caps with CadPat? Why don't they just finally go out get their own operational uniform. When I am CAFCWO, there will be no shortage of CadPat/whatever we call it then, because the Air Force and Navy won't be allowed to wear it. Also, this is about the new...

My municipality recently named a bunch of new streets after the mayor and all the counselors. We have one street named after our war dead (a set of brothers). I don't necessarily disagree with the mayor because he wasn't seeking re-election after a long time in office, but I feel like there...

And why don't we go back to a class based military where officers buy commissions. If the military were to tell me that I wasn't good enough for a dress uniform, I'd consider leaving, and I'm sure that I wouldn't be the only one. Image it, we would be allowed to wear medals in civilians, but not...

And knowing logistic unicorns, we may see the first new uniforms in a few months. If only we could use them for all of our procurement. I wonder how many points a F-35 would cost.
