I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to deploy as early as I did in my career. I definitely learned more in that 7 month period than many people learn over a period of many years in a civilian hospital. For that I am very grateful. QL5's are fastly approaching for many of us at the...

The issue I've found is that I was licensed in BC upon completion of my PCP. Now I'm posted in Ontario and I asked about challenging the Ontario exam to become licensed here. I was told that the unit will only pay for QL5's to do this. I also haven't received any opportunities for MCSP, and I've...

I read your post George. I guess my question wasn't clear. What I meant was do I need to write a memo to request the OT or what? Does this go through my CoC and off to the release section or do I contact them directly? Sorry for the confusion.

What exactly is the process to do an OT from Reg to Reserve? I'm thinking of going back to University. Ideally I'd like to leave the reg force and join a local reserve unit. There would be no change in trade since I'd like to stay Medic. Just don't have any idea how to begin this process or how...

Not a bad video , if I say so myself.  ;) A great learning experience, but a rough day.  :( All in all though, I really love my job over here.

RIP Marshall. Still can't believe you're gone. Turned on the TV this morning and saw your face and just sat there trying to accept the horrible news. You're an amazing guy who made everyone around you laugh, and the world is a better place because of you. Steve & I did BMQ together just over 2...

Well that explains why I wasn't able to find any topics this morning, that I was sure had been discussed before on the boards. Hope the update is going well Mike.  :)

The last documentation I saw on laser eye surgery stated you no longer were put on a PCAT after the procedure. You just needed to make sure to get your medical done as soon as possible to update your vision category. However the point MM made above about members identified for deployment is a...

Sorry guys, wasn't able to make it happen. Work got in the way, as well as the kennel was too full to take our pup for the night. Hope you have a blast!

He already has... but I really don't know my way around Ottawa at all! I can get to Ikea, and the Bayshore mall & that's about it for my experience.  ;D

I actually did the PT test at the recruiting centre during my application process. I passed the step-test no problem. Obviously it wasn't quite the same as the beep test.

Hoping to make it by tomorrow Saturday. Just depends on the other-half's work schedule at this point.  ::) *Edit - had the wrong day. Whoops.

When a recruit fails a PO check on course, do they get booted from the CF? No, they generally get a recourse and sit on PAT platoon waiting for the next course, and then get another shot at that trades course. What happens when they fail again? They generally get offered to switch to another...

I agree that we should be fit & ready when we enter the CF, just like you need to be ready for most jobs on civi street when you start work there. However, I'll admit I wasn't ready when I showed up for BMQ. I thought I was, but I was obviously mistaken. After a cycle on RFT my fitness was well...

That Sig Pig is busy on a dream vacay in France right now anyway.  :P
