ArmyVern said:After serving 2 years, the entitlement to an "upgrade" to an NDI20 kicks in.
(And, I could be wrong - it could be one year until NDI20 kicks in ... I just know that as the Det Comd in PEI, I arranged for a massive photo/fingerprinting session with the Ident folks from Gagetown coming over on TD so that we could get all entitled pers into their NDI20 from the temp IDs).
I'm not at work today to confirm the time-period, but it's given in the books.
George Wallace said:Fairly correct. Two years required to get a NDI 20. One has to have a DEU Tunic, shirt and tie. A Reservist requires completion of a QL3 Qualification or two years to get issued DEUs. So - Two years.
CLOTJunkie said:As a further DEU point, the one year entitlement only applies to Army reserve. Air and Naval reservists are entitled to their DEUs on enrollment.

ArmyVern said:This is true.
Fact is, the Army sees a much higher rate of NES or release rates within the 1st year of service; and, we just don't wear our DEUs as often as the Naval and Air Forces do (what, usually once per year for us on Nov 11th??).
dapaterson said:To be precise, it's the standing orders for CFSU(O). Of course, the dot COMs and the Land Staff, beingtoo lazy to iron their shirts and polish their shoesoperationally focussed, now wear CADPAT day-to-day.
Haggis said:Generally, this is true, save for Army Reservists employed in/at NDHQ. Here, WOs and above are required to be in DEU. There are, of course exceptions, but this is the "rule".
Biggoals2bdone said:Just to clarify, Air and Naval reservists, get their DEU's issued at BMQ, just like the Reg Force mbrs, because we wear it upon graduation.
Biggoals2bdone said:See George you got stuck on that part...but I in no way put down the Army reservists...I just said what WE did...since I don't know what the army reservists do...so get off my back.
Its a Valid point...because its a FACT, that THAT is we the Air and Naval Reserves do, up until now I didnt even know that army reservists didn't get their DEU's.
Like I said GET OFF MY BACK...you keep checking up on me, and its blatantly annoying, especially when you take EVERY single thing I say as a personal attack when all i'm doing is stating fact, to clear up the murky waters.
p.s I really don't know why you felt the need to toot your (collective army reserve) own horn with the jump wings and medals comment, since as previously stated, I in no way put them down.
Now back to the topic at hand, the VIA offer to CF and DND personnel
