Canadian Armed Forces or Canadian Forces
« on: September 03, 2009, 10:39:23 »
I recently had 2 claims which i took and advances on. What is interesting is the cheques issued to me were both labeled "Canadian Armed Forces".

I was under the impression we were no long the CAF vice the CF.... Can anyone shed some light ?

Hey I've noticed when recieving any type of mail or cheques it's been from the CAF, but I've been told to write with CF.

Just because the name was shortened on recruiting pamplets and other documents we still are Her Majesty's Canadian Armed Forces. Someone actually had the quote from the QR and O about that a few years ago.
1. Let your actions be your words
2. Lead by example
3. Always strive for a higher standard
4. Do not caudle the troops, but do not abuse them, treat them, exactly as they need to be treated to make a better soldier and potential leader.
5. The Infantryman is the backbone of any fighting force; his role is to "close with and destroy the enemy".
