Stand easy Pte Lormand Rest in Peace  :salute: :cdn:

I think this is great.  I know that a lot of us Med Techs are tired of all the training and time away from home, especially now that JIBC is 7ish months long, but coming from someone on a navy base and already spending time on ship, when its just you and the PA, its good having that extra skill...

I was on my clinical and the majority of my PCP phase with the two that are mentioned in this article.  I am very glad they are both doing well and they had better come safe and sound together

Yes with bell that is if you choose the early clock option that costs like $7 or so I think.  I was with bell when I was in Ontario and if you didn't take the early clock your "evenings" started at 9.  I am with Telus now and have the early clock and my "evenings" start at 5pm.  Which is...

Basically the best thing to do because none of us work at PRETC is wait until you get there to see what is going on.  I wouldn't stress about which is going to happen first, its all about training priorities, so you just gotta go with the flow and see how it happens. 

When you are done your BMQ, you will come to CFB Borden and stay in PRETC until there is an opening at CFMSS for your course.  When you get on course, you will spend 14 weeks doing your clinical care (CC) phase.  When you are done that, you will go to JIBC at Chilliwack, BC for 6 months to do...

Simcoe Airport Shuttle will pick him up at the terminal and take him to the building he needs to go to on base.  They charge $45 for the fare, but it doesn't matter because it's claimed on his travel claim anyways

MM I agree with you on the blunt end of the scissors, but you never know with some troops you see today.  ;D  Speaking of those holsters, do you know where I can get one around the Borden area, or somewhere close?

Ya, I know at the canex they have a little pouch to put the shears in, but it looks silly.  I've seen paramedics with a pouch that fits in the small of your back that has the shears sideways and you can also put a few pairs of gloves in them

I agree with you there old medic, but with the Military On-Car Uniforms, they are the exact same as the OPD's for the Military Police, they just have the reflective tape on them, so unfortunately the leg pockets are just cargo pockets and don't have the pre-formed slot to put scissors in.  I...

My apologizies, I'm multitasking and didn't read it carefully enough

No, that Civilian On-Car uniform is also worn after JIBC when you are doing your yearly MCSP at your home unit.  No matter where you are in the country, emerg care is part of your MCSP package and you will be going on car, hence the creation of the on-car uniform

I know when I did my CC last year, about half my class did not their SQ.  I know that a few of them are actually doing pre-deployment training as we speak that still did not get their SQ.  Most of the new QL3 students that started yesterday were talking about that in the smoke pit this morning...

I know the protocol that is taught during JIBC is that when you are doing CPR and you have your AED or LifePak in place and you are ready to deliver a charge, you have to pull over so you are at a complete stop to minimize a paddle going flying that is charged and that the vehicle is fully...

My apologies I brought up the post, but didn't read it all as I was busy at work.  I guess I should pay attention to detail a little more  :)

If you read the MARLANTGEN for Halifax, which I have sitting on my desk, it states that the new rate will "New Rate will be reflected in MID MAY 08 PAY.  I still get PLD as my POR is still Halifax while I finish my training and I spoke with the Borden Pay Office this morning and they assured me...

Yes there is an Infantry Reserve unit in Saint John.  It's the 1st Battalion, Royal New Brunswick Regiment, out of the armouries.  There are personel there on Tuesday and Thrusday nights.  I know this as I used to be with that unit.  If you want, PM me and I will get you the contact information...

To answer your question, you will be a private level 2 with you background.  I am currently at the medical school, I was not a direct paramedic entry like yourself as I was a remuster from the infantry but I know many people that were in your spot.  You will not get Cpl, sorry to break it to you...

The black uniforms that they are wearing now have always been in the system.  Originally they were issued after you were QL3 qualified for your MCSP.  But there was something about going to the east end of Vancouver with drugged out people and you showing up in combats.  There were also...
