Having worked as a clinical instructor in both TCCC and CFMS within the CF, as well as civilian First Response and EMS I have a good view of the spectrum of care. TCCC focuses on teaching you how to keep tactically involved with combat while acting as extra eyes for your medic while on...

What kind of group is this for ? Before you go buying a machine online out of pocket, investigate grants available.  There are Provincial and federal groups and charities whose sole purpose is to fund (usually 50:50) the purchase and implementation of these life saving machines. Any schmoe can...

You're right, I was thinking about thsi last night after posting.  This would constitute mess kit wouldn't it ?  I'll have to wait and see, but of course if I go with the sword I'd be in DEU with straight tie and regular shirt...

Hey, thanks to all that replied very helpful comments.. My plans at present are to wear my DEU  (Army) with Tux shirt and Bow tiefor the Wedding. My promotion is coming through soon (to Captain) so I'll wait to get a new uniform for nice clean tailoring.  Mess kit is still an option for dinner...

Hey all, Looking for some input from some serving members who have been around longer than I have.  I'm not going to be at my unit lines for a few weeks, otherwise I'd look up the info in the Dress and Parade manual for myself. I'm recently engaged and am getting married next June (2010) D-day...

Correct me if I am wrong, Did you say you were serving with 3 Fd Amb in Montreal ? what trade are you. From personal experience, I completed BMOQ (same as BMQ) followed by a 5 day course called BOTP (2) - Basic Officer Training Program - a small party leadership course. This was a common...

**RANT** Now I am sure that the DS here at army.ca might be able to support or refute the following stement but I have noticed a common thread among many of the "protest" groups being discussed here over the last while. Now being a novice website designer and ongoing procrastinator (web...

Good Morning, I just returned from CFB Edmonton after completing the TCCC instructor course and I am blown away by the shift has happened and it was the army that is pushing something so new  forward so quickly.  I should say that I am not surprised and that I am extremely pleased to be...

Hell week ? no there was no hell week in BMQ.  Physical and mental stress... lots of that...  getting into the swing of things... happened eventually. Most of the stress and hardship turns out to be self inflicted ( The first PT test I was so stresed it took me 15 minutes to get my back...
