    How does the army issue weapons?

    PER Point for Leading Change coming here... standby. Lets create a field in EMMA, My Career where the user can select the top three weapons they want to carry. Then the Pl Comd / Coy Comd / Bn Comd or their associated staff can run analysis on MonitorMass / HRMS to figure out how to employ...

    All things Health Care Admin/HCA (merged)

    The first thing you need to accept is that the posting plot makes no sense. The second thing is that it rarely has foresight past the immediate needs of the service, outside of those that are succession planned (which will not be you as a Lt HCA). Once you have accepted these two facts, you just...

    Naval Combat Dress (NCD) uniform [Merged]

    If you do not trust ArmyDoc (and I would not, being an army guy ranting about things navy <smile>) it is worth a read of the book, The Red and Green Life Machine, by Surg Cdr Rick Jolly, OBE, RN. It talks both about medical support to the RN and land forces during the Falklands war and was a...

    Naval Combat Dress (NCD) uniform [Merged]

    This has been looked at (RCN TCCC) by the CF H Svcs Gp but the RCN has been slow to adopt. I am not exactly sure why, as it was well researched and then endorsed by at least two RCN Surgeons. If you look at the injury patterns suffered by the RN in the Falklands (which we did in modifying the...

    Health Services Operational and Staff Officer Course

    You can request anything.... I have never seen an OCdt between year 3/4 of ROTP do HSOSOC.  Normally, they are done university and CPT as you have stated, with the odd person just about to complete CPT and loaded on HSOSOC due to scheduling. MC

    joining the RCEME

    I don't think there are many Mat Techs looming these parts.  I will weigh in as I have has a number of Mat Tech work for me in the past. RCEME guys feel free to contradict / clarify.  If you like welding then Mat Tech is not a bad direction to go for starts! There is way more to this...

    PERs : All issues questions...2003-2019

    You asked, "Does this show the consequence later down the road??" There is a concept in management theory called the Peter Principle. This is not exactly it, but helps explain some of the things you are describing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_principle MC

    Fair enough... I was speaking about Scope of Practice of the now (2013 onward).  It did not account for pre-2013 in theatre authorizations which were ad hoc at the best of times and varied Roto to Roto.  MC

    Yeah it would look like this... Yeah, I worked at  Director Human Rights and Diversity for a number of chaotic years.  I was deep the in the *hit working on DAOD 5516-0. I once even briefed ADM(HR-Civ) without PowerPoint and, although it is hard to believe, some of the CMP staff the following...

    It is not in the Scope of Practice for a CAF Medical Laboratory Technologist to insert a chest tube or do an emergency tracheotomy. It is not in a Med Tech Scope of Practice to insert a chest tube or do an emergency tracheotomy, unless they are qualified and employed as a Special Operations...

    We have positions for 10 MLab Techs in the CF H Svcs Gp.  All in 1 Canadian Field Hospital on the Primary Reserve List. All are ex-Regular Force MLab Techs (1 x WO, 3 x Sgt, 6 x MCpl). Currently I think only 20-30% of the positions are filled, when I checked a few months ago.  I think he is /...

    Here are my concerns... 1) Cyprus medal before the SM. 2) If you enlarge the photo, under his hand, it looks like there is even another medal before Cyprus. 3) Tours in 2009 and 2010... again, I know a lot of people in who deployed in this time period as I was quite active in this space...

    Sadly, there is a clear element of sketchy attached to this persons story. It even burns me more that he is wearing the RCMS cap badge. Anybody know this fellow? I know many of the medical folk from 2009 / 10 and do know know this chap... Why is he wearing UN Cyprus before his Sacrifice Medal...

    MP Response to fire - Split from First infantry regular force female LCol.

    She was a Major in R22eR in 2014 when she had a Courts Martial. http://decisia.jmc-cmj.forces.gc.ca/jmc-cmj/cm/en/item/98921/index.do?r=AAAAAQAIV2VsbHdvb2QB Interesting case.  Nice to see that the reprimand did not affect her career. I have crossed paths with LCol Wellwood on a number of...

    All Things Supply

    Supply questions (if you are still taking them).  Is the CAF still issuing the green wool glove liners?  These used to be used under the old black leather combat gloves (or on their own).  Are they still issued for use under the new CADPAT leather combat glove? Cheers, MC
