I like that idea. I don't know about flying the flag at a FOB but having the three guys drape the flag on a tank shouldn't be a problem.

C Coy 3 PPCLI were issued them before they deployed to Afghanistan in Feb 07, the guys I talked to didn't mind them too much. They hardly wore them at all while they were there anyways.

By the looks of it you can put a lot of "stuff" in it, they're huge!

That was one thing I found frustrating was that the booklet was a 2007 copy so I thought that the military I.D. would have been in there. No it was not one of those laminated temporary I.D.'s it was the hard plastic one.

Yeah I thought about that but the manager was not there. However I think I will go in again tomorrow and inform him that it is a federal piece of identification.

I am on leave at the moment in Ontario and I was at The Beer Store yesterday to purchase some beer and I was asked to provide some I.D. The only piece of identification I had on me at the time was my military I.D. I handed it over to the cashier and he looked puzzled then pulled out a booklet...

Was originally born in Ontario and lived there for 21 years but now I call Alberta home.

Your not the only one with this problem. I'm pretty lean 6'2" and I get the same thing when I do sit-ups or crunches, no pain at all just that annoying popping sound. Best advice as it was mentioned is to go and see a doctor.

3.5 years in the infantry reserves, then I did a component transfer and recently finished battleschool, now posted to PPCLI.

I get what the doc calls "white coat hypertension" which basically means everytime I go to the doctor to get my BP it is always higher than normal. I was hooked up to an ambulatory blood pressure monitor for 24hrs and everything was normal.

My father was in the British Army and did a tour in NI before he came to Canada and ended up joining the Reserves.

Hahaha, the poor bugger!  :D Maybe I should get the 31 CBG crest tattooed on my arm before I go out to battleschool.

Yes, it makes me all warm and fuzzy on the inside.  :)

That's what it is all about. Thank you for serving!  :salute:

Just to add to make you feel better, I came across a picture on combatcamera that shows a Lt-Col with a neck tattoo as well as one on his wrist: http://www.combatcamera.forces.gc.ca/netpub/server.np?find&catalog=photos&template=detail_e.np&field=itemid&op=matches&value=11010&site=combatcamera
