Why is there a leaf above a Corporal‘s two stripes?

In the CF, it‘s most commonly (well, exclusively) pronounced "bomb-ba-deer". Funny how English corruption of French language persists in this age of "bilingualism".

‘le HOTDOG‘
‘un HAMBURGER‘
Thieves!

I think by the time Veteran‘s son takes his basic training he‘s going to know more about the military than the instructors heh

Yeah, Veteran‘s Son and all the guys with two years‘ experience in the Air Cadets ought to be able to run the course themselves.

 

[Veteran`s son]

Thanks for all of the replies to my questions as they are appreciated!

Just like Trooper and Sapper are Privates in the Armoured Corps and Engineers respectivly.

And from my understanding the Canadian‘s adopted the leaf above certain ranks (MCpl / Sgt) to distinguish ourselves from the British.
