And yes there is a one month growth period. After 30 days, the soldiers have to report to the RSM who will inspect and either approve or reject the man's efforts.

I was at RMC Kingston last week, and noted many CDN officers with beards of varying density.

Even one of the pipers who entertained us at dinner had one but not, fortunately, the female drummer!

I do not believe the Canforgen was gender specific....she probably would be allowed.

Four significant changes to the norm:

BEARDFORGEN - Navy beards across the Army.

BOOTFORGEN - a defacto admission that the CAF can't specify, contract, stock or issue enough boots to the troops, and is giving every soldier $$ (on a scale) to buy their own boots.

WEEDFORGEN - The Cannabis Act is applicable to all Canadian citizens, troops included. "Eight hours joint to job." for most situations.

PATCHFORGEN - After deciding which %'ge of Velcro real estate would be used for the national flag, Level 2 and 3 patches, what could be worn on the remaining 2" tall strip on the right sleeve. Of course only CANEX products may be worn.

Interesting times to be in the Forces Terry .The pendulum swung the full course during my carear .

Good to hear that the four main tenants of CF service are being looked after.

Note, there is an alternate name for WEEDFORGEN - namely DOPEFORGEN.

Not to be mistaken for the Senior Appointments list.
