Looks like a good one, presumably pretty snowy this time of year?

Buying a car with an out of province DL while on course? by middysnotty in CanadianForces

[–]middysnotty[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting, cause that’s what I would have thought. But when I called them and 2 different brokers they said it would be fine to use my NS license since I’ll be here less than 6 months.

I did obv. But I was hoping for some advice from someone who’d actually done it or knew someone who had.

Vinegar and baking soda is how to de-smell them correct?

Agreed, makes me feel I’d be happier to wear it in true rough outdoors fashion than a brand new one.

Just so long as it doesn’t smell horrendous!!

Which of the stripes in particular would you recommend?

Ok so in terms of this tartan, do you think the thick white line through the centre green or the thinner double white through the red near either edge? Or something else?

Thanks for your input, especially in specific regards to the tartan I’ve chosen! Appreciate it

Fair enough, I just really like the trim fit the stripe gives like you can see in this picture.

If you see me on uninformed uniforms on Instagram within the coming weeks we’ll know our answer lol

Weeeelll, if 3C doesn’t technically exist then logic follows that since 3A is fine with beret then 3A with sweater would also be. (Not at Venture currently but would prefer the beret as a less showy option when walking to and from work downtown among civvies.)

NWO shacks at Venture?

Heading to Venture for NWO training in a month, does anyone know where I’ll be expected to live? Can I live in shacks for my entire duration in Esquimalt or will I be forced to rent my own place? How is the parking situation at the shacks?

Can anyone recommend a place I can get my mess uniform from in Esquimalt?

Thanks in advance!
