The Mark 1 Eyeball and the traditional pace stick always seemed to work for any SM that I've had or parade I've watched.  I'm pretty sure there is an actual drill movement for doing this too.

There are many ways to hide income from SISIP and others tracking your income...Some legal...others uh not so much...The easiest way to ask if your income will be deducted is to just ask.  I know it's almost impossible for those of us on ELB/SISIP to get ahead but losing everything because you...

Med Corps: That is perhaps what is on paper...however in practice both on domestic OPS AND in Afg HSS deployed 1 Coy Medic and 3 Juniors to the Infantry also in Afg each OMLT/POMLT got one too.  Limiting the Inf Coy to two medics (a dismount and a mounted) and putting both those eggs into one...

Infantry, Infantry Infantry... Why is that everyone wants to talk about how many INFANTRY soldiers we can cram into a LAV or whatever.  What about the attachments to said Section/platoon?  IF we cram 6 Infantry Soldiers into the LAV and have to be Hatches down (that's a little cosy in full...

Me on patrol, somewhere in Afghan.  No Security violations in posting this, it is on a poster somewhere.  Thank you Combat camera for coming on patrol with us, I really liked having my picture taken.  ::) FYI I was a medic for 6.5 yrs.

Geese, Could that reply be anymore open ended? :facepalm: Anyone know a good witch doctor who could figure this out? :brickwall: I bet if you asked VAC for an official answer on what color was the sky you couldn't get one.  oi Teager, I wouldn't be surprised if I was fed bad intel on this...

Umm, anyone else having issues with the top menu bar?  When I ever I click on <Forums> and then <Army.ca Forums>, it only reloads the main page instead of directing me to the army.ca/forums/index.php I've tried it using http and https.  Same result, using fully updated Chrome.  I didn't Try IE...

FYI, Not sure if anyone else is having this issue but the top Forums menu isn't loading properly either in https or regular http. No images, and Forums and Admin appear as strings ( $Forums,  $Admin) The links still work.

medicineman, Well said, and you are completely correct of course.  You cannot lump the Sheep Dogs with the sheep (so to speak) and I should have mentioned that.  And I have to agree with Colin P as well, the role of our Religious institutions needs to be recognized as well and perhaps used more...

Well, after spending the day reading this threading and not having the 5 min needed to form a proper response here I am at 10 pm, and here it comes from the horses mouth.  Both from the perspective of someone who battles with PTSD and who worked within the Military Health system as a medic, and...

Kat, Short Version: The Ulnar Nerve is compressed in your elbow at the point we normally call the "Funny Bone".  Thereby causing the numbness in the forearm, hand and 4th and 5th digits And I thought my numb feet were annoying.

How's this for answer from someone who had 6.5 yrs as a medic before being Medically released: First Off, the medical staff do not decide to release anybody, ever.  This is decided by an "impartial" board in Ottawa.  Secondly if there was a preexisting injury as long as it was FULLY disclosed...
