Maybe I wasn't clear. I don't have a problem with figuring out how to do normal forms. See the image below. What normally happens in a form is that the squad's right marker would be in position A. When doing a right turn to prep for the march past needs be in position B, otherwise: 1) they'd...

Your assumption is correct. In theory, the drill should be "standard" across the three elements now. My problem is that while I (and many others) remember what *we* did in our flag parties, many years ago, we're supposed to be teaching "by the book" now so that everyone does drill the same. The...

CFP 201 is a bit vague about this... For an about turn, the CP uses "spiral counter-march" (so it doesn't swap left/right, v. important if you're carrying two flags together)? Is this called on the same foot as "mark time"? Is there a precautionary? How many paces following the march do you...

The policy is mostly a recognition of reality. Possession in most provinces is not illegal, it's the sale that is. So the policy merely encourages "discouragement" except in areas where there is no conflict (such as banning smoking on cadet/gov facilities). In those cases it's not the possession...

My QM forgot a lot of the "little things". I'm slowly compiling a list of stuff to request when my DEUs come in (again, Logistik sent all the wrong things/sizes the first time). My Trg O lent me a spare until then. :)

Sorry, I meant "blank with the holes there because we removed the tri-force". Because it's obvious something's missing. And yes, it's partly LCF.  ;D

Do we mark time at the end of the rotate, or keep marching like the band counter-march?

What's the command for that? Bands only do the baton spin thing to indicate a counter march. Is there a reference in any manual that describes the timing/movements?

Intent is for when you can't update a CATO, it's an interpretation handed down through the chain via memos. Why not clarify it when you DO update the CATO though? They muddle things by stating that slip-ons must adhere to badge positions noted in Annex D, but Annex D only describes the rank...

That makes sense, although for many new corps they don't have an affiliated unit, or their aff unit isn't as involved due to constraints like location/budget/etc.

CFP 201, Chapter 8, Section 6, Para 3: The Colour party shall march to its position by a series of forms (Figure 8-6-1). Figure 8-6-1 The diagram makes it look like they are doing a band manoeuvre called Spiral Counter-March for Odd Numbers of Files (from CFP 202), and anyway, there's no...

Neither have I. Just the web-belt though, Air side can't wear tri-force trouser belts. I expect it won't actually come into force until they have a replacement. I have yet to see an Army Cadet crest trouser belt buckle or web-belt buckle. And the idea of a blank web buckle is just silly.

Go into the same drawer in supply as the old red rank badges I guess.
