    General Mattis’ next mission: Destroying the PTSD victim myth

    I'm surprised Gen Matthis didn't slap anyone across the face with his riding gloves, or threaten to pull out his ivory-handled Colt to ensure that the veterans didn't accept the "victimhood of PTSD" label. While I agree that we should not equate mental health problems with being a victim, I'm...

    Best job for somebody with a nursing degree.

    Being a Medical Officer will not allow you to have a "direct combat role" either. If that is your goal, join the combat arms and wait for the next conflict. If you don't want to be a nurse, why are you completing your nursing degree?

    Dizziness/Vertigo

    I recommend that you research the Epley Procedure, which is used to reposition the canaliths in your inner ear. If your GDMO is not familiar, ask for a referral to ENT/otolaryngology (which you should do in any case, if you haven't yet had a specialist assessment). Disabling BPPV has the...

    Geographic and occupational factor questions

    If the Common Enrolment Medical Standard is G2O2, then that is what you must meet as a potential recruit. That does, in fact, mean that if you would be classified as a G3 or an O3 then you will not be enrolled into the CAF.

    James Gandolfini aka "Tony Soprano" dead at age 51

    Eric Clapton owned a Patek Phillipe perpetual calendar chronograph with platinum case - it went for $3.6 million in 2012.  In the case of vintage watches, they don't make 'em like they used to and the market reacts accordingly.

    James Gandolfini aka "Tony Soprano" dead at age 51

    It is impossible to find a gen-u-wine Rolex Submariner for $3k. $7-$10k for pre-owned in reasonable condition, to "if you have to ask the price you can't afford" territory for rare vintage pieces. Tony Soprano wouldn't wear a Sub, anyways, far too "tool watch" (bling would be a gold Day-Date...

    Role of EPs in the CF

    Royal College emergency physicians could be employed within the Reserve Force, and should be considered as Medical Specialists (not GDMOs). There is no plan at present to employ them as Reg F, nor are there any established positions for them. We've had Royal College emerge docs as reservists in...

    Shotgun Pistol

    If you can't hit your target at close range with a 9mm round, neither 45 Colt or 410 shotshell will be of much help. I've seen people miss steel poppers at 5-10 yards with 12 gauge shot, so thinking that shotshell is a panacea is erroneous. You still have to aim.

    For NGOs, the Canadian Red Cross is the first one that comes to mind. They take volunteers, for example. Consider returning to school and upgrading your education if you are interested in federal govt departments like Global Affairs Canada, etc.
