Russian fans of CSOR

CPGear's OTW shirt is arguably the most high-speed CADPAT garment.

cpgear is also the most expensive place to buy anything also

Well said. Only thing I've bought from them are swats which we're not allowed to wear at my unit anyways and I've bought a few nametapes from them. Was going to get a camelbak but their insanely overpriced.

About berets - sry guys if it hurts you, really. We will avoid using it. We understand that it's a great honour to wear, but prove me wrong - everyone in CSOR have it. To be a part of such respectable regiment its a great honour it self. So it turns out that we cannt reenact this CSOR theme (in russia we call it - modelling) 'couse we cannt earn this honour at all - we re just office rats and what not. When we wear berets - we all remember what it mean, we understand all importance and honour of this. Again - we apologize if it hurts you.
Please clear for us the moment of IFF patches - last time we showed our photos, we were told that IR flags and IFF patches - its the only patches guys from CSOR wear. And about chest rigs - do i understand correctly - for such mountain missions operators would prefer RRV or something from LBT instead of issue 6094? If yes - this RRVs are purchased by Canadian DND or its just their own operators' initiative?

Thx alot for clarify! And we donot wear berets in the field. NEVER. They were purchased mostly for collection and not for daily wear. And I'll say it again - we respect Canadian forces and CSOR especialy and will avoid wearing berets. :salute:

abbadon · April 13th, 2012, 17:08

I dont think its a problem wearing a tan beret, not like your here in canada and trying to act like your csor. Cap badges i do have an issue with though, when you are presented your badge it is the point of your battle school where you are now welcomed into the regimental family.

either way no one here really has the right to tell you that your not allowed to wear anything.

Argil · April 13th, 2012, 17:19

Well I understand that this is a case of respect of the whole country not just berets and badges. And every canadian has the right to tell that it hurts him - watching former commies wearing signs of canadian military elites. Thats why I want to appologize. If it's a problem then we'll solve it.

Rickshaw · April 13th, 2012, 17:54

Yeah the issue with capbadges as has been mentioned many times before is that it takes a lot of time and work to get your capbadge, and it's an honour and a privellage to wear it. You should just stick it on a manequin's head and put it in a display cabinet or something instead of wearing it. It's not needed for the impression anyways like Skeletor said.

ViR · April 13th, 2012, 18:35

Well, I'm sure some Canadians wear blue "VDV telnyashka".. You also have to earn that. In Russia if some VDV soldiers see you wear it and find out you actually didn't serve in VDV... broken bones are a guarantee..
Probably some Canadian soldiers are not too happy that random civilians are wearing Cadpat..

I think as long as you are not claiming to be someone and just "reenacting" , wear whatever you want..

The Chad · April 13th, 2012, 18:53

For real, look up past discussions about badges and medals.....it has absolutely nothing to do with who you are.

marac · April 13th, 2012, 21:16

Holy God, really? Who cares. I mean, nobody is complaining about people wearing other (e.g. US) badges, patches etc. I'm sure none of the WW2 reenactors that wear uniforms full of airborne patches, wings, SS or good ole brit beret deserved any of that either (unless they are really old airsoft players) but nobody raises hell about that. I mean, seeing a guy dressed in issue cadpat walking around, with beret and capbadge, rank and flag... sure it's an issue. A guy wearing CSOR beret half a world away in a country where clearly he isn't trying to impersonate local military should be last of our worries to come online and write about. If I see a guy wearing RCR slip-on in a game, I'd be proud to see someone wanting to be where I am.

Argil · April 14th, 2012, 04:50

Guys, maybe you can help me - I have this badge but absolutly unaware what it means. It was given me as a present long ago when I joined my team.

Bungdup · April 14th, 2012, 05:26

That's the Land Force Command/Canadian Army insignia

EDIT: No it's not, actually... Swords are on -top- of Maple Leaf...

It looks like a shoulder badge... WWII maybe?

Gato · April 14th, 2012, 06:04

Not entirely sure of what you have there... I hope someone knows as I'm curious myself now :P
