I did my grad parade in CF's and I think every one that goes through St.Jean does. I don't know maybe its a reserve thing.

Reserve NCM's don't acquire CF's until after doing their MOC Course. As for Officers I'm unsure.
Chimo!

I believe this statement is incorrect. Cf's are to be issued after one year of military service. Trades training or not.
Freaked me out... I was asking myself: Why no DEUs? Where are the fixed bayonets? Where are the white belts and gloves? Where are the photos of the open order on the march in slow time in line on the march past?
Then.. Oh... Now I know. But really, the process means so much more if it is a good parade.

CFN. Orange, I know from personal experience that CF's are not given out to the reserves until after MOC training, I spent 3 yrs as an untrained Pte. and was not issued CF's. I was told from both my QM and Base Clothing that as an untrained Pte. I was not entitled to them.
Prior to 1999 all recruits that completed QL2 (BMQ) were entitled to them.
Chimo!

Its very possible, but im untrained, and have CF's infact i was just changing the buttons on them today when i first read this post. I got sized on my one year anniversary with the forces...I guess it is different rules for different units/bgds/areas.

Regarding when PRes pers are to be issued DEUs, everyones right (to some extent). The policy until recently was that DP1 training had to be complete (includes BMQ, SQ, and DP1 trades training (QL3)). This policy was recently (within the past month or so) changed so that now pers are to be issued DEUs upon completion of one years service, regardless of the training they have completed.
My understanding is that DEUs were not being issued as money saving idea (once he's trained, he will probably stick around a while!). However the change occurred because this was counterproductive from a retention point of view (if they won't give me nice cloths, what am I doing here?).
In any case, no doubt it will take a while for the various clothing stores to catch up.
