Congratulations to all recipients, as well as those who contributed to the recipients' nomination.


As an aside, shouldn't the MMV recipients be listed ahead of those receiving an MSC?

Actually, for whatever reason, MSC is higher in the order of precedence than MMV.

Don't worry about it.  When they go to Rideau Hall to get their medals all the valor recipients, Stars and Medals, will be sitting in the front row.
 
Well done to all.

There are quite a few people named that I've had the honour of working with in the past and I am happy to see that their hard work is being recognized.

Right you are.  I always thought all orders of valour and bravery went ahead of orders of merit.

Well done Johnny Bravo! (for one of te medic types in the message) Militi Succurimus

Generals have to pad their resumes somehow!
 
PPCLI Guy said:
What do you mean?

I was in response to the comment about meritorious service cross being higher in precedence than medals of military valor or merit.  I am pretty sure almost every general or full colonel I have ever seen has a meritorious service cross or medal.  Not that I am sure they don't deserve it as I am sure they worked hard for it but it says something about the awards system when these awards are ranked higher in precedence than medal of military valour and medal of bravery. 

On another note I know some of the people up on that list and well they are all deserving so congrats
 
Your comment implies that the precedence has been set by those Generals in order to "pad their resumes."  In fact, the order of precedence of orders, decorations was authorized by Order in Council, under P.C. 1998-591, April 2, 1998.

Hate to nit-pick, but I wouldn't want to pass a fault.... 8)

You mean like the RSMs that submit their COs and the COs that submit their RSMs?

And then we have a flurry of OMMs and MMMs

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Not implying anyone from your list, of course, just that it happens.

Sorry for the tangent :salute:
