Also from what I've seen here most of the guys who are open about their CF/Navy roots are usually not active PPCLI/JTF members but rather are in a less intriguing trades/units; and almost all never saw combat, unlike some "eastern-european airsofters" who are in teams modeling foreign army units.

I understand what you're getting at with your background tho, but I'd be more pissed at the local players wearing PPCLI insignia to the games than overseas ones -- as the latter do not pretend to have ever been members of CF.

Thanks CTAC

Thank you for your comments, but I'll disagree with some of your statements.

Regarding the field use, I'd totally agree with your if we were talking about CF contingent in A-stan, as I follow updates on combatcamera, threads on milnet.ca and in general have additional sources of information on kit used by CF in the field. I realize that some CF issue kit does not fit the modern requirements (4 mags in a modern issue vest is laughable in combat). As can be seen from my photos, not a single item is in Arid Cadpat and I'm not going after the impression of the A-stan located servicemen, but rather ones located in Canada.

Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I know, while on training exercises in Canada CF members mostly use CF-issue kit, including Tac Vest, small pack and gloves. Also, what is drastically different among russian airsofters is that non-issue kit is frowned upon if you're modelling a certain unit.

I can link/post many photos of the CF soldiers in both Canada and A-stan wearing an empty bayonet sheath, rank tab on the tac vest, etc. I'm guessing different units might have different levels of regulation enforcement on that. Many (not just CF) soldiers are getting rid of all unnecessary load/kit/insignia in the field or when going into combat, but it's an airsoft and other issues matter here.

In addition, I do not wear the beret to the games, the photos you're referred to are of the Ukranian team and I live in Russia.

As far as PPCLI badge goes, I know that players from other countries wear insignia of many elite Russian special ops units (and Canada is not an exception in that). Trust me, members of those elite russian units are nothing more than ironic about it. After all it's an airsoft, take it easy.

question for some of the folks that are in the know figured this was the best place to get your attention

is there currently a possibility for deployments overseas other than Afghanistan? the DND website says that there is currently ops in Cyprus and Congo and a bunch of other places but it doesn't give detail as to who can go where

though actually i might have missed that my apologies if that happens to be the case

now that im finally eligble to apply (after a long and tedious clusterfuck of correspondence schools) im hoping to join one of the local reserve infantry units (if that helps any) in the new year and was curious if i will have a wide variety of options for deployment or if everything is focused on Afghanistan right now

just one of those late night questions that came outta nowhere

and sorry if my question is hard to understand im a little burnt out right now from a math exam

thank you to anyone that can help me.

Yeah, unless the operation is all over the news, you won't wrangle yourself the tour unless you've got a couple bars.

I'm just wondering if somebody CF/Ex-CF can resolve this for me.

In this picture that was posted earlier:

http://a_sti.users.photofile.ru/phot.../110357401.jpg

The rank embroidery is in gold thread, which concurs with what I see here: http://mpmuseum.org/securank2.html

Yet in all my time interacting with army personnel in CADPAT in LFCA, I have never seen gold embroidery. Just black on CADPAT slipons. Was it a trial thing? Was it phased out? Did it never exist, and the site is inaccurate?

Thanks.

Eh? The rank slipon that Pretoria is wearing is olive drab on CADPAT, which is standard for all army pers. If you're seeing black on CADPAT you're just looking at navy pers.

My bad, my memory seems to be failing me on the black and olive. But his slipon just.. stands out more than I remember.

I think the reason it stands out so much is that it looks new. Once you wash the things they get faded pretty quick.

With that, the Air Force and Navy opted to wear OD epaulets with service-specific thread - as one Air Force member stated to me, "we are not the army".

OD epaulets with black thread are for Navy personnel, while OD epaulets with blue thread are for Air Force personnel. It's also for that same reason that they wear OD nametapes with their service emblem (anchor for Navy, bird for Air Force) on the right while army personnel wear their crossed swords on the left.
