Pips and Crowns are back for the Canadian Army

Easy peazy, Major's are the ones with swagger sticks being followed closely by Pte Baldrick.

Cheers

That, and the haircuts should give it away.

They need to dump this stupid "members" phrase as well. No one calls them "NCM's" it always "NCO's". When they brought it out I thought I was being offered a membership in the Moose Lodge.

When writing PERs, my Captain would not allow us to use the term "member" in the PER, because it made him think of a penis. So instead we had to use "Cpl Bloggins" and "he" repeatedly throughout the evaluation narrative.

All of these changes are in order to wipe out the legacy of the liberal party of Canada, and even a higher up Liberal was complaining about it in the news yesterday. The idea of having a politically correct and environmentally friendly army is a bit of an oxymoron.

I heard that. The Liberal defence critic said this had to do with wiping out the Liberal brand from the Armed Forces. What a hypocrite. As if Liberal unification, gas station attendant uniforms, wonky rank structures and removal of all things 'Royal' wasn't an attempt remove traditional symbols and re-brand things themselves.
