How often does this happen?

FYI, A paragraph was cut from the story which said that it was not known if the guy had ever served with any branch of the forces.

I believe regulations say that historic uniforms are OK, but that current-issue kit can only be worn by serving members - and medals and rank should never be worn unless you actually earned or held them.

Seems like the guy was up to no good - especially since he was noted as showing up chiefly at cadet events ... hmmmmm

One the brighter side, there were plenty of folks wearing historic uniforms at Assiniboine Park today, with no problems reported.

One person I know once did get some hassle from a current serving member of a regiment for wearing historic uniform of that regiment - but the guy doing the hassling was drunk, and probably a jerk when he was sober, too.
