PuckChaser said:Looked like US jump wings. Dude has enough bling, he doesn't need to wear more in contravention to the dress regs (The presence of a US officer doesn't make it a US military event or "working" with the US).
LunchMeat said:It's the CDS... I highly doubt anyone is going to correct the CDS, and to be honest I really don't care if he's wearing US Jump Wings. If it makes him feel better about being the CDS, all the power to him, I think there's bigger fish to fry in this day and age.
We have rules for a reason, the entire CAF is built on rules. If we give the CDS a pass foe this what does that say when we hammer a MCpl for doing it? As for bigger fish to fry, it takes 0 effort and a 10 second conversation to sort out someone's dress.LunchMeat said:It's the CDS...

Oh, there's still a ways to go...Oldgateboatdriver said:But we always knew that our very senior leadership has bling envy.
???... except for the CDS who decided that somehow his maple leaves should be twice as big as every one else's and made of silver.

Thanks
Eye In The Sky said:I guess I'm weird. I'd prefer to have a decent flashlight I didn't have to buy myself, or flying gloves that don't fall apart when I use them for...flying. Nice driving gloves, but changing setting on a belly load and they're toast after the first 10 buoys usually. I received some helpful new DEU slip-ons this year though! :blotto:

LogOLife said:I'm still confused by the wings as this is what is stated in the Dress Regs:
FOREIGN FLYING AND SPECIALIST SKILL BADGES
15. Personnel who have been presented equivalent badges of allied countries as a
result of qualifications obtained on a course prescribed by the CAF, and those
who have been presented honorary qualification badges while attached to, or
serving with the armed forces of an allied country, may wear the appropriate
metal or cloth badge, on the right breast of the service dress and mess dress
jacket only while on duty in the specific allied country, when subsequently
working with the armed forces of the country or when attending a formal function
sponsored by the country concerned.
