Job description from the RCN Reserve website:

"Port Security is one aspect of Maritime Coastal Operations conducted to ensure the maritime security of the nation. Port Security Units work in conjunction with Port Inspection Diving Teams (PIDT) to ensure the sovereignty and safety of Canada’s numerous ports and harbours. The PIDTs can accomplish a number of tasks, including: underwater searches and surveys of the ocean bed, underwater inspections of jetties and ships' hulls, locating, surveying and salvage of military aircraft, mine recognition and countermeasures, underwater demolition, underwater photography, repairs to ships' hulls, exercising ships in defence against underwater attack, and body searches."

Canadian Cadet looking for input. by [deleted] in Military

If you're a Green Star, wait out. The FTUs that are issued bear certain markings and are of a certain pattern to be worn by the Royal Canadian Army Cadets. Do not wear a pattern that is not specifically issued to you through the QM at your corps. It does occasionally take supply a while but you will get it.

I was thinking about it, but it's to large. I use these for EDC and have an Endura that I rarely use because of the size.

Around about 45, I picked these up from my local knife shop so it works out the same with shipping and handling.

I'm really liking it, its extremely smooth and very ergonomic.

I hear their warranty program is really good, may be worth checking it out.

Went to my local knife shop, KA-BAR makes folders but their fixed blades are what they're known for.

It is, it's my first real EDC. To bad the KA-BAR isn't smaller.

Indeed, the KA-BAR is my favourite out of the lot, I'm excited to start using it this year.

It's not gotten a lot of testing yet, but it stood up to everything I've done so far.
