I wondering if any of you can answer these uniform questions:
1) Is it true that if you were in one element of the CF and then transfered to another, I read that you keep the same uniform? ie: Navy person leaves regular force and transfers to the army reserve or even reg. force, do they have the option of getting an army uniform or are they stuck with the Navy one?
2) I also read that when the Navy became part of the CF in 1968, NCMs no longer wore the Donald duck suits with the degrading looking sailor hats, instead they were the same respectable uniforms as Officers with different ranks?
3) For a while after 1968 did all three elements really have the same uniform?
