Is Capt Major a new rank?
I never said I knew everything.
Guess what, you get to break in your new desert boots before going over, plus they don't take that long to break in.
You get temped loan AR CADPAT for tours, an not for FTXs. There just isn't enough of it in the system an prority goes to the troops going overseas.
Does it really matter if you don't have AR CADPAT for a weekend or a 1 week ex in Yakima, Wa or whereever, does it effect the quality of training? I'd rather have the people going on ROTO get it, than a bunch of Reservists getting it for a FTX. Plus how often do you train in a desert enviroment? Since your in Alberta, you probably goto Wainright a lot, don't really need AR there.
Plus if your TW CADPAT is faded, an gets covered in the dust, etc you don't stick out as much.
