You know what they say about a guy with a tongue ring...

Chris Rock says it best.

... who couldn‘t disconnect the muff-couplings ...

Glad you clarified what THAT means ...

 

[muskrat89]

At first, I thought he was referring to another type of piercing....

 

[weeze]

k now this raises some questions, I am planning on signing up for the reserve infantry in my local town here, but I have a tat on the back of my neck it is just below the collar of a normal dress shirt (the kind you button up) I had it done that way so it can only be seen in a t-shirt,
ect.

oh, and its a bar-code that says:

PRODUCT OF

Can‘t do, can‘t pass, is my attitude, but I‘m a dinosaur, I guess.

No, you‘re not a dinosaur. That‘s the way it should be. As for the female exemption, shouldn‘t be either. If females can have earrings, guys should as well.

I guess where I put the explanation that vaguely explained it (disconnecting the transmission from the tracks) must have gone over your head. Must be an officer....

I would have tried to explain it better, but who has the time anymore. As it is, my rant on the watch/compass thing didn‘t win me any friends on this forum, so no point in trying to smooth things over :sniper:

I think he was referring to the fact that muff has an entirely different meaning to some people. i.e. making a subtle joke about the terminology.

 

[Slumsofsackville]

Who ever Said Going To work or walking around base for us guys with piercing....Was wrong. I just went to work, IN Civvys, Un-shaven, My peircings In and Said Hi to everybody and went into the office, And Nobody told me I have to take them out.

I think It‘s only When In uniform.

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

Reservist??? Nuff said.

9. Body Tattoos and Body-Piercing.
Members shall not acquire visible tattoos that could
be deemed to be offensive (e.g., pornographic,
blasphemous, racist, or containing vulgar language or designs)
or otherwise reflect discredit on
the CF. Visible and non-visible body piercing
adornments, with the exception of women's earrings
and ear sleepers described in sub-paragraph 6.a.,
shall not be worn by members either in uniform or on
duty in civilian clothing. The meaning of the term â Å“on
dutyâ ?, for purposes of dress and appearance, is
Interpreted in Chapter 1, paragraph 25.

10. As of 1 April 2004 CF members are not to acquire any tattoos that are visible on the head, neck, chest or ears when an open collared shirt is worn. Tattoos acquired prior to 1 April 2004 must comply with para 9.

9. Tatouage et perçage. Le personnel ne doit
pas porter de tatouage qui pourrait être perçu comme
offensant (par ex. pornographique, blasphématoire
ou raciste), ou pouvant jeter le discrédit sur les FC.
Les parures corporelles fixées par perçage, qu'elles
soient apparentes ou non, outre les boucles d'oreilles
et boutons perce-oreille portés par les femmes,
comme le décrit le sous-paragraphe 6.a., sont
interdites aux militaires en uniforme ou en tenue
civile en service. Dans les textes traitant de la tenue
et de l'apparence, le terme « en service » est
entendu au sens décrit au chapitre 1, paragraphe 25.

Straight from the horse‘s mouth.

End of discussion. It‘s the rule, it‘s the law. Don‘t like it, don‘t join or pull pin. Simple. (BTW, tattooed and pierced, but within spec)

 

[meni0n]

I was just told that we cannot get a tatoo even on the forearms only where it will not be seen. Anyone hear about that?

 

[Ex Ranger Instructor]

Did you read para 10 of the above? Learn to get the facts from original sources for yourself, rather than listening to what some dumbass says when he‘s drunk in the mess.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

Bob Km,
Better read your QR&O‘s there bud. You walk into a Military building, Class A or not, you come under the Code of Service Discipline. Doesn‘t say much for your Supervisors, letting you get away with that crap. I‘m sure they‘d love to hear you merde talking their lack of protocol. BTW, if you consider yourself such a gem, why would you even disgrace the Unit, Service or building showing up like that. Guess the cool factor overshadows all that, might be some new recruits or someone wanting to join handy to gaze upon your great example of a Regimental soldier. Bet the Vets just love having a beer with you. Push the envelope and pretty soon it pops, sucking you out into that great vast emptiness of Civieland. Their loss, our gain.

 

[Slumsofsackville]

Defind "Duty" Going To work On your own Time, In Civvy To Get Some paperwork isn‘t "Duty". Something Has To Be Done.

Im Not here To be a Idiot(May Or Not Be), I love My Job Alot, Im just Pro tattoo And Pro Piercings.

No Harm In That ?? They Were More Happy I did it in Advance Then, Last Min.

 

[Fishbone Jones]

I said nothing about being on "Duty".

 

[xFusilier]

What can I say,

You‘re just fortunate that Chocolate Thunder, Green Eggs and Ham, or Warrant Surley are no longer around. They would have gone down to the RQ drawn a large magnet and removed them for you. The PLO sure ain‘t what it used to be.
