CFR Request Thread

[SilvioI]

Also, what is the CFR number? Is this the same as the serial number?

CFR is Canadian Forces Registration. A five-figure number used on the licence plate and most commonly used as the shorthand identification of one vehicle from another. Often spoken with the two-figure year of acquisition in front.

So my M38A1CDN3 is too much name for the ordinary user. It would have been 70-08876 or just eight seven six in service. The numbers have rolled over 99999 and the low numbers are being reissued on new stuff.

To answer your questions, yes the data was still available last month before the orders were passed. Should still be there, but make the Access to Information Request pronto.

Deputy Minister and Chief of the Defence Staff message 1 Dec 15

It was released within the department and I could not locate the full text on-line. Perhaps it was never intended for worldwide consumption but directed to serving military and civilian personnel only.

There was a directive from very high up that information contained on the defense information network (DIN) was not to be released to the public without gong through proper channels. As such, I don't think anybody either in uniform or in civilian clothing with access to the DIN will want to breech that order. As such, I am pretty sure that as it stands, Hanno or a moderator could lock this whole thread.

So should I just not bother to post the vehicle info?

Are you sure it is not CR-2-0021?
