Is it not also possible that the individual in question is on certain prescription medications that impair their ability to drive? That may be a significant factor that wasn't mentioned.

Rabbi Danzinger is in Toronto I believe, and he can assist you in networking in to Rabbis in whatever area you are posted to. Rabbi Mendelsohn is in Ottawa, and while he released from the CAF several years ago, he maintains strong support for CAF members, and will always be willing to meet with...

While I'm not Jewish, I have had a few Jewish soldiers under my command over the years, and we had Rabbi Mendelsohn in my home unit of 28 (Ottawa) Field Ambulance. Kosher/Halal rations packs are available in the field, not certain how well the kitchens on base can produce kosher meals. I would...

dapaterson - I'm not sure your statement is entirely true. As I understand it, the Army technically owns almost every land vehicle fleet, and is responsible for life cycle fleet replacement. We were told that as crapped out as the LSVW Ambs were, we could not go out and buy a fleet to replace...

I am so glad that there's a new flag! It'll take away the sting from the fact that I can't get my ambulances to work most of the time!

I wonder how many times his Engineering Officer has said "I'm given her all she's got Cap'n"

Probably time for Mods to split this thread.... Vern - I had a Sgt doing the same thing. I talked to the BSurg to see what could be done - we agreed on a course of action. I called the member in and informed him he was being order to the clinic for a Part I & II Medical. He was sick so often...

I've seen a few pictures of them with this. Here's one from Combat Camera.

If I can give you one piece of advice, it is to be as brutally honest in the Quality of Life assessment as possible. Detail every aspect of your life that has been impacted. If you have a spouse/partner, get them to give you feedback on changes they've noticed as well (we're not always aware of...

Vehicles are a huge issue for my unit as well. We have three LSVW Ambulances. At any given point, two are in maintenance for a variety of reasons. Ambulances are supposed to be a priority for repair, but this is Ottawa, and civilians tell us they have other things they are working on. When we do...

Never take a VR if a 3b is coming. There are indeed benefits and services that come with a 3b Release. Talk to the Client Services section of your supporting Integrated Personnel Support Centre. They can fill you in on all the transition programs and services. Once you release, you can't go back...

They should have thought that through a bit better...... The RCL does not in any way coordinate or run Operational Stress Injury Social Support (OSISS) - https://www.osiss.ca/en/ OSISS is a joint initiative between VAC and DND. It does use Legion facilities in some locations, but it is not...

Is it wrong for me to laugh my a$$ off thinking about WKRP's Turkey Drop episode?

Good morning all - we are getting a slideshow on administration of RFC posted onto the DCSM Intranet website shortly at: http://cmp-cpm.mil.ca/en/support/casualty/casualty-support.page As per the new Treasury Board guidelines on internet content, we cannot post a slide deck on that page, but...

I would absolutely love to see how PSP will ensure they cover all of the Reserve units across Canada. I'm in Ottawa, and it's bad enough - we can't get them out on a Saturday to run a FORCE eval for the unit. We have a couple of Class A members who are trained to run the FORCE eval, but only...

Part of me is hoping he's French, and English is a second language, because his writing is atrocious.... If he's going to be an Officer, he should grow up and stop acting like an overly-entitled brat.

I'm just pondering the apparent foolishness of officially noting that we are not 'at war' with them, but ISIS certainly believe that they are in essence at war with us....well, actually, they are against everything and everyone outside of their little world. It must be terribly draining to find...

Our Leopard Gecko and Red Foot Tortoise are just fine, but the Bearded Dragon stinks.....oh Lord does it stink! Add in a dog, and six aquariums, and we've got our own zoo. And the crickets always find a way to escape, and end up in the basement.

What always amazes me is the absolute BS that so many PS workers get away with..... One cubicle denizen near me kept measuring their desk and arguing that it was too small for a person with their PS classification. This same, and rather unstable person, started yelling one day 'why won't they...

What city are you in? If you are still in the Montreal area, 51 Field Ambulance can be reached at 514-283-8428. Otherwise let me know which city you live in, and I'll see if I can dig up the number or email for the nearest Field Ambulance. As for getting through the process in time for BMQ &...
