First of all do you really think that Gen Hiller is going to tell anyone that they are planning to increase the rotations until it is carved in stone and it is a done deal, lets face it the man is too bloody smart to get caught in something like that.  So don't believe everything that you read...

Looking for some assistance in getting some info regarding the kit requirement for a QL 3 Cooks course.  If any one out there could give me a hand it would be greatly appricated.

As for retention I think making it intresting and keeping it so starts with the sub unit IE the med section, med platoon, med company then the unit.  What is stopping the section i/c from sitting down and getting a little interactive discussion going remember to involve everyone and not just the...

No it should not cause any red flags to come up.  So long as you are in fairly good health and are taking precautions to reduce you BP.  Does you FMD have you on any meds for your BP and are you taking it regularly and you don't see any major highs, then it shouldn't be a problem. So long as...

Not sure on what you mean by soldering, why don't you give me an idea?

Thanks for the correction. Still thought that Capt(N) K was an MO, and that the DGHS was an HCA type post?  Anyway I ho;e that good comes out of this.

Not a good idea encase of injury, illness or exposure to toxic substance.  Christ member's have a h_ll of a time now going through the red tape at the VA.  Both Reg force and Reserve. Could you just imagine the crap they would get regarding something like this.  Like Armymedic stated very Noble...

Can't see it being Capt (N) Kavanagh thought she was an MO, that is unless it is her brother Kevin.  If it is him we could do worse.

Sure would be nice to know the reason why you voted the way you did, but not required.  Thought it would be nice to have some dialogue regarding this matter.

Should the Medical Branch allow dual progression beyond the rank of WO? The reason I am conducting this poll is because of the number of Sr Medical  NCM's that are refusing their PA course.  Dual progression would allow members to become WO's without attending the PA crse.  However, they must...

Totally agree with Armymedic.  If you can't walk the walk or talk the talk in a controlled situation / learning environment.  Then there is no place for you in the field.    Besides all we do is add on to what has already been done at the CCP and by the soldiers buddies in  F/A.  Don't forget...

This is a more than likely to happen regarding PA's, they will be trained at Civilian Universities, that is a given. However don't assume that they are going to run and join the military with this new found skill.  Take a look at the MD's that are out there.  Then go to a recruiting center and...

True if and when the Universities start this program it will more than likely outstrip the CF.  Then again it will allow the CF to use their facilities and educators Vs us doing it.  With this I believe we will get a better PA. As the program will use the medical facialties associated with the...

Does anyone know how you can access the CF Dress Reg's via the internet without going through the DIN?

Okay this is good.  But what happens to the man-management skiills and most important of all the medical experience that you get with TI.  I for one would like to see junior trades persons get the opportunity to advance but not at the expense of the profession and the quality of care that is...
