I'm not sure what service you are with; Canadian Army? Your right, they do have the toughest basic course that I know of, even tougher than our Marines. But do keep in mind that THEY made me an honourary RM, and gave me the beret and badge because of my past as a US Marine, and my service with them. I appreciate your input, but I will go with the word from the RM's themselves that were querried about this. Keep in mind that I wear it to honour them and the brotherhood between the Marine services. I would only wear it with either my Leatherneck SK or tank. By the way, I love that tattoo on your calf. Seems a shame to cover it with hose, eh?
