…and degrees…Add post-nominals for the Order of St John for extra points
At least I can say that I definitely have not addd my CAF postnominals to my cop signature block. I literally had a colleague tell me I should just a few weeks ago.

What’s the etiquette on this? I’m not in the CD club. I assumed it was supposed to be done- not CD1 or 2 though.

I work with an S.C., and also with an M.B. with bar, and that’s just in my immediate section. So I’d look like a bit of a wiener if I tried to throw mine around.
No real etiquette issue; I wouldn’t actually be in the wrong to. I just don’t want it to look like a “look at me”.

Correct, @Booter. There is only one proper post-nominal…’CD.’ CD1, CD2, CDx are all incorrect as format post-nominals.

Me either. I don't put post nominals or pronouns in my email signature block.

You earned them and at least one surely wasn't a 'gimme". So, why not?
I have a lot of vets on my team and I think it nicely bridges the gap between the blue and green worlds.
I have my CD post nominal in mine. It’s come in handy a few times at work. Both when I was at DND and where I am now. Most people have no idea what it is but when they do it’s normally because they have a CAF background and it does create a bit of a commonality that helps in conversations and create rapport.
I didn’t do it for a while until someone explained how it could be useful in certain circumstances.

Hm, you’re not wrong. I actually had a file not long ago when I saw a CD in the sig block of a guy I was speaking with from another agency; his name was vaguely familiar too. Late in the conversation I asked him about it, turned out we’d actually worked together briefly on an exercise some decade and a half prior. Actually I think he was one of yours.
I occasionally have some interactions with CAF; I’d consider using them in that context if it opened a door or two.

As a former Brigade member and Superintendent, I get twitchy when I see that - we were explicitly told it's only supposed to be used for business related to the Order. I have it on my CV in brackets. I laugh when I see folks on LinkedIn using it in non-SJA related stuff...one in particular, who also uses Dr as a prefix but doesn't have the degree after their name, but their KSJ is listed...and I'm pretty sure they're a PhD in something and not an MD/DO/DDS.Add post-nominals for the Order of St John for extra points
I have my CD listed on my formal calling cards and my CV, but not my appointment cards - only my CCPA, which is my professional designation. Oh, and it's "CD" not "CD1" or "CD with Bar"....

Nice work, troops!
A stabbing suspect is dead after being shot by police in a convenience store in the Canadian city of Vancouver, police said.
Witnesses say a man stole liquor and a knife from a restaurant then used the weapon across the street to stab people in a 7-Eleven store.
“One of the kitchen guys came out, asked if he could help him, and the guy grabbed the knife and asked him if he wanted to die,” said Kylie Noel, who was working at the Original Joe’s restaurant at Robson and Hamilton streets in downtown Vancouver on Wednesday.
Her co-worker then told her to call police.
Video later captured by Mainul Islam, a student and part-time food delivery worker, shows police pointing their guns over the counter of the 7-Eleven, shouting at someone to “move over,” then firing at least 10 times.

I saw a video from inside the store. Looks clean to me. The stabber had an employee trapped and cornered. Police tried a taser, it failed, guy wouldn’t move away, they shot and dropped him. Clearly acting to protect life.

I wonder if CBC will do a story about the poor misunderstood gentle soul turning his life around cruelly gunned down by authoritarian stormtroopers. They’ll show pictures from Facebook of him cuddling puppies but ignore the pictures of him brandishing pistols and machetes saying he’s not going to let the cops take him…
