Frosted Flake posted:Oh yeah, there totally is. I guess there's no use in paying an extra $10 for CADPAT. It depends on your unit. I only know what it's like being an officer in the infantry school. We wear non-issued boots, gloves, glasses, t-shirts, I use a non-issued sleeping bag, air mattress, dry bags, compression sacks, warm-weather stuff, wet-weather stuff, rucksack, ground sheet, flashlight, multi-tool, toque, socks, underwear. I could go on. Guys regularly use non-issued bivy bags and slings and stuff as well, and nobody ever says anything other than, "Where'd you get that?" I know lots of places are very strict with regards to non-issued kit though, so YMMV depending on the gayness of your unit. Back to HAT FUR, YUKON STYLE talk, I don't know if it's 1As only, but all the other stuff from Logistik is for dress uniforms so I just assumed. I wonder how it would look with NVGs.

As a dumb reservist who has worn only either DEUs, CADPAT or PT strip, can anyone explain to me the different name/numberings for dress uniforms? What's 1A? DEUs?

Dress Instructions has the official version but: 1As - tunics with or without medals 2 - mess kits (although typically these arent treated as an order of dress, at least in the Navy 3 - duty (long sleeve shirt with tie or short sleeve shirt) 1 and 3 are DEUs (anything ordered from logistic can be considered DEU for the most part)

By not treated as an order of dress I mean people will add their own little personalizations and I've never seen anyone wear the cap with it, at least in the Navy.

Here's a link to the dress instructions and the page that explains the numbers. These are a bit dated (the newest revision is from 2011, available on the DIN) but the orders of dress and other general things haven't changed. http://www.scribd.com/doc/44503634/CFP-265-Dress-Regulations#outer_page_73 For the record Navy peaked caps are authorized with mess kit if worn outdoors and required if the overcoat is also worn. The FUR HAT, YUKON STYLE is authorized with No. 1, 2 and 3, and only in the winter dress season, though I bet if you're on an MCDV or an Orca they'll let you wear it on the bridge with aviators like the badass that you are.

I looked up FUR HAT, YUKON STYLE in the regs. Dress Regs posted:Yukon Cap. I'm surprised you can't wear hat badges with it. I'd be in favor of a way to piss in winter gear. Especially if you're rocking a stealth suit under your combats. I also think it's hilarious that Walt Disney is the example for proper hairstyling. I don't think anyone has looked like this since 1958.

Had a guy in my unit who kept his hair slicked back with some manner of hair product not known to the 21st century male.

Unfortunately our class wasn't that big on outings, although we did have many opportunities. We visited the war museum in Ottawa, and spent a couple days downtown Kingston enjoying the sun. We had the chance to plan more things, but nobody wanted to take on the responsibility of organizing anything.

The most "important" thing I'm entrusted with as an OJT is the local air cadet annual parade. I drafted and sent the OPORD for circulation 3 weeks ago. I talked to everyone concerned yesterday (as in, face to face) to remind them and they generally gave me the "Ya ya go away, Officer Cadet douchebag pilot" routine. Apparently it's a big surprise for the maintenance chief because he just saw the OPORD today, and the parade practice is tonight. Gonna be fun when he has to find someone to come in on the Saturday to open and close the hangar. At 0730 and 1730.

He is a very, very creepy person. He dated a friend of mine and when she broke up with him it didn't click apparently. He broke into her car and left a necklace around her mirror and a rap cd he made in her cd player, one of the songs was calling her a whore a bunch. He also made sure he got the PMQ right next door to her as soon as her neighbors moved out. In short, gently caress this guy. My Spirit Otter fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Jun 1, 2012 |

I had no idea how far backwards we bend over for these kids, and how much their CO expects. There are two helos on jacks that can't be moved, which are on opposite corners of the hangar, so they don't get the traditional half the hangar for the parade. There are like 50 kids on parade - I didn't have that sort of space for any parade I was on ever (basic grad, PLQ grad, various divisions and so on) and their CO was still humming and hawing about only getting 1/4 of the hangar this year... They also get the entire ramp outside the south side of the hangar. It's ridiculous.

Their training is all local and handled by the ranger group in their area. The stuff they need to know is survival and familiarity with living and working in the landscape of whatever remote area they live in. No BMQ/SQ/etc involved. And for their time, they get an Enfield rifle, a yearly supply of ammunition, and the cool ranger sweaters/hats you see there. Their obligations are to do annual patrols of their ranger group's assigned area, and to assist any CF/gubment agencies which need to work in their area. They're all pretty cool that I've worked with/talked to, and definitely good to have around when you're working somewhere arctic/near arctic and lovely like Baffin Island. They're often very good at hunting local wildlife and will let you have some of their freshly shot/caught game or fish in exchange for some of your sweet rats.
