In garrison, the duties are very simliar. HCAs (and subsquently, HSOs) are normally utilised by the local CBG to do the Med Plans for their exercises. Other than that... In the Res F, HCA / HSOs can occupy the CO, DCO, Adjutant, Med Coy Comd, Amb Coy Comd, Platoon Commanders and Platoon 2IC...

... and everything else that is not medical.

Ack. Thank you for the quick replies.

I've done a search already, and didnt find the answer I was looking for so... If I missed it, please direct me to where it would be. I've heard rumors and that regarding Officers and having visible tattoos. Is there a policy specific for officers having visible tattoos?

Did this come up as a request from the United States? Or did we offer, and they accepted?

Just a quick one. Are Nursing Officers required to do the CAP (common Army Phase) course? Or do they jump right to the BCT Med?

"Canada's Army" by JL Granatstein "Don't Eat this book" by Morgan Spurlock. So far, overly dependant on statistics without details to explain what he is trying to prove.

RN PRN, What quals / equivalences would be granted? To the best of my knowledge (and I might be wrong) but I didn't think PRes NOs had to do the BNOC? BCMC

Outside of the clinical side, all officers should have a good grasp of military administrative process. Having Unskilled Nursing Officers shadow a Platoon Commander, Log O or Admin O might give them a better view of how the military functions. I believe this is what we will end up doing in...

I agree. But the direction we're getting out of Ottawa is that Nursing Students (no matter what year of study they are in) are to be Nursing Officers. Up until now, Recruiters were directed to bring these people in as Med Techs until they had completed their schooling and then they would be made...

I am not a Nurse, and therefore, do not have a license that would even need to considered. So therefore, I am / was not speaking about myself at all. The way in which this whole matter was put to me came through from the Entire "nursing students as Nursing Officer" problem which my unit is...

Thank you for the information, Brian. It'll help me out. GF: I might suggest that one should not be commenting on what a Commanding Officer knows or does not know on a public form. BC MC

RN PRN, I have asked and got nothing. It's to the point that my CO wants me to answer the question myself. Fun stuff. BC MC

I did that course in summer 04. Questions?

Nothing about the purple trades... I'm an officer with a Reserve Field Ambulance

How do summers look for you?

Zombie et al. Med Techs will complete an SQ after BMQ. Local Fd Ambs have decided that Med Techs will continue to do the SQ. Reserve Med Techs do not do a QL5. QL3, QL4, QL6a, QL6B. But then again, everything is currently changing, so... wait out.

Within the 38 CBG AOR, new reserve recruits are issued CADPAT immediately upon enrollment. Tac Vests come at the completion of BMQ/SQ.

I was sworn in at 1500 hrs, I started my QL2 at 1800 hrs same day.
