Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil...prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon...
Thats because you have a bloody Cadre CQ T.I.M. unlike us who have a CPL.
No norwegian Kermit?? thats because ur in CIS u dont need one!! does it get THAT cold in the Back of an FFR??
2 star Rank markings were there for 60 years why get rid of them now Its a RANK therefore they should have markings, and in most units (though not all) it takes roughly 8 or 9 months to become a 3 star.

That’s the way it works in the 6 FAR. Personally speaking I was rather proud to put on my two stars when I got them, yeah within a years time I was a full three star but that not the point, its a badge of achievement and should be worn by those who have earned it.
the only unit in mc kee that have them is the 7th bn - a company.... i.e my FLASH!!!!

I reckon it's a bit silly to have a rank and not be able to show what you've achieved, as far as anyone else is concerned you're going to be a recruit until you get your three stars. The sooner these two star markings come into full circulation the better, small question though, why are we only getting them now, surely some bigwig must have forseen the fact that reservists spend considerably more time at two star rank level than their PDF counterparts. Still best not jinx it for anyone.
