A very similar implied hierarchy also existed in the treatment of the ill & injured. Those injured in combat were the rock stars, and the lowest were those who suffered mental health issues here in Canada. Individuals (some very highly placed), and even the system itself, perpetuated this...

There was an old statement, apparently attributed to Israeli diplomat Abba Eben some 45 years ago, that the Palestinians, 'never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.' In analyzing the situation, one also has to remember that the neighbouring Arab states have long had a vested interest in...

Lynda, I am terribly sorry for your loss. I work for Canadian Armed Forces Transition Group HQ. One of our mandates is to help Veterans and families. I have contacts with the Pension folks. If you want to send me an email at [email protected] with details on your full name, husband's...

ArmyRick - one of the eye-opening things I learned years ago, is that some biomes need to periodically burn. Certain key native plant species have adapted such that their seeds will only properly germinate after exposure to fire. Regions of California fall into this category. That, coupled with...

Just had a colonoscopy done a couple of weeks ago. Three very small polyps removed, hopefully nothing to worry about (I'll know more on Thursday). Had I waited and done nothing..... Thanks to the Versed and Fentanyl, I felt nothing and barely remember any of it. A day or two of discomfort...

Based upon her behaviour, I would suspect she is quite mentally ill (Persecutory Delusion Disorder?). Thankfully, she wasn't capable of putting together a highly rational plan of action. Ricin has no effective treatment and depending on the initial dose, death can occur in 3-5 days.

It also depends on where you go. For example, Ottawa is the land of opportunity for Class B. Other larger bases also have a number of positions. Otherwise, each Reserve Force unit will have a small cadre of Class B postions (typically a couple of Supply Techs, maybe an MSE Op, and a pair of FSA...

Greydak - have you been in touch with a Transition Centre yet? The Services Staff there can fully explain the differences in benefits and services between a voluntary release, and a medical release. If you need help contacting your nearest Transition Centre, let me know. I would strongly advise...

I can just see the next story now..... "Air Force Leases Island Resort For Training". Citing a need for distancing measures the Air Force has leased a vacant five star resort in Jamaica as a training facility. Senior Officers insist it's not a swan, and the fact that the all-you-can-eat' shrimp...

PM sent - there may be a few things I can influence through my office. We've got Manulife and VAC liaison teams here. Brookfield is a different beast, and I don't think I can influence them.

Reading through some of these comments, I am not sure exactly what to say, but I feel compelled to wade in with a bit more background than many. I work at CAF TG HQ, and have for many years now. Every day I see Integrated Transition Plans done for the most seriously ill and inured people we...

EITS - I know.....think of poor CANSOF. Now that we can all grow beards, and buy our own boots, if we get Multicam we will push CANSOF to new extremes!

Well, I'm not overly optimistic.... After 20 years of the 'Clothe The Soldier' project debacle, I still don't have all of the items I'm technically entitled to. I don't have enough time left until CRA 60 to get all new items..... And Medicineman - the contract has to go to a mom & pop...

If his crew had been less professional, then Capt Gehres could have ended up as 'lost at sea' on the trip back to the US.

Mama always said 'stupid is as stupid does'.......

It is always best to be up front with the Recruiting staff and course staff about religious requirements - aspects such as prayer times, and dietary restrictions. When I ran a BMQ years ago, I had three young Muslim troops who asked for prayer time. One of them linked me in with his Imam, who...

Just in case....remember to vote Kodos! Twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

I suspect that he will have a file opened through DMCA 2 to conduct an Administrative Review. I would not be surprised at all, given the importance of Operation HONOUR and the exceedingly clear orders that our CDS has given us on ending all HISB, that a recommendation for release under item 5f...

Friday 0200 hrs, Presidential Alert to the nation..... "The White House is out of covfefe".......

A quick check of two databases shows no Maj Robert Broughton, RCA, in the CAF. Sometimes the info isn't 100% accurate, but I'd say it's total bull. They guy she's communicating with could even be a scammer from India. Those CRA scam folks really like to ask for payment by iTunes gift card.
