yeah I think that's it. Thanks PPCLI MCpl. Also I don't think the Patrica's or the RCR are called Strats, more likely Anti-armour platoon etc. I will ask a guy I know who is there Monday for confirmation on that.

Do we have any regts that wear the tam o'shanter?CFL said:when you add reserve unit head dress your almost in a whole other world. Off the top of my head there is the Balmoral which you described, the Glen Garry (kinda like a high speed wedge with tails), and the Irish reg wears [Caubeen]
A Patricia with the TOW is now a defining part of the LdSH regimental identity. I would think he should be able to identify himself with both regiments without somehow distancing himself from the one displayed on his beret.Gunner said:Well, they form E Coy, LdSH(RC). Why wouldn't they be referred to as Strat's?

That seems a little small minded. I think "regiment" is a more inclusive word today that it once was. In fact, I would see it as a much deeper compliment if a regiment saw an outsider as worthy of being identify as one of its own.mcnutt_p said:Referring to the Patrica's as Strat's would be an insult to both the Strat's and the Patrica's.

The navy does not wear blk. It is really blue, but for some reason its blk. We had a navy clerk that wore a true navy very dark blue beret.

4. Army Uniforms
a. Armour Personnel and Units. The black beret or turban shall be worn with all orders of dress by Armour Branch personnel and by non-Armour Branch personnel wearing the army uniform who are on the posted strength of an armoured unit, except when precluded by operational or safety requirements (see full dress and undress (patrol dress), Chapter 5).
e. Paratroop Personnel and Airborne Units. The maroon beret or turban shall be worn with all orders of dress by qualified parachutists wearing the army uniform, when on the posted strength of an airborne unit, designated airborne sub-unit or element, and the Canadian Parachute Centre. The maroon beret or turban is further authorized for wear by qualified parachutists wearing the army uniform when on staff, exchange, or liaison duties, and, while so employed, in receipt of paratroop allowance.
I don't think I would be. I know that I am speaking idealistically. It is at the soldier level that pers are less willing to give/receive the complement of a regiment saying "your good enough to be called one of us."CFL said:MCG you would be surprised.
