    Funny Pix & Video Thread

    Well, that was 57 seconds of my life wasted, plus the time spent responding to this completely juvenile video.  I suggest not wasting 0:57 of your time!

    Dental Officer Training Program DOTP

    Hmmm. From your post, it's not clear to me why your wife would need a 3 year leave from her job while you complete your dental training at a civilian university. After your training it would be a different story. Before you sign on the dotted line, you need to be aware that after graduation...

    Combt Outpost essay

    Thanks for the link.  The author, Andrew Macinnes, has the ability to capture the small, everyday details in his story that give it "realism". I hope we'll be seeing a longer version of his work in the future.

    Then don't worry about it. You've answered your own question.

    Welcome to the CAF, best of luck in your new career.

    Nursing Officer Positions?

    Nursing Officer is a so-called "purple trade", which means that your environmental uniform has no bearing on where you may be employed. You are as likely to end up in Edmonton as Halifax. There is lots of information available here which you can find using the search function. You can start...

    Only the RMO can determine if you are medically fit for CAF enrolment.

    house on markert prior to posting message

    My experiences with Brookfield are no posting message, no entitlements. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada.  Not a question of limiting entitlements, since a fraction of zero is zero. The posting message is the authority to start the Brookfield (painful) process. I'm sure DAA or others with more...

    British Chopper Down

    Very sad. Condolences to their family, friends and colleagues.

    I can't find anyone that will fill in my paper from the medical.

    This is poor advice. A physician is unlikely to write you a letter the first time you meet him/her attesting to your long term stability.  Best bet would be to get a referral back for to the psychologist that originally assessed you 2 years ago - this would allow accurate reassessment. I...

    CFRG and the broken recruiting system-Split

    I do not believe this is true, since the issue of training discrepancies between Res and Reg F medical qualifications often arises.  That is why, for example, there are a Reserve "Medical Assistants" and Regular "Medical Technicians".  Reservists often lack the Primary Care Paramedic (PCP)...

    General Medical Questions [Merged]

    Ahh yes, the infamous "duck walk". This procedure is used to examine potential knee problems, specifically, meniscal cartilage tears as well as knee stability. It is not used routinely. And it's a medical examination, not a PT test, so no pushups or sit-ups. Good luck.

    Conservatives plan to legislate CAF unification into history?

    Considering that Unification was announced 46 years ago, I doubt if there are any still serving who were around at that time. However, it may be a different matter for some of the honouraries, regimental patrons, etc.

    General Surgeon in CF

    All of our General Surgeons are embedded in civilian hospitals and research institutions, Toronto and Vancouver being two examples. For example, the head of Trauma at Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto is a CF surgeon. There are no CF operating rooms in Pet or Edmonton.  Day to day life of a CF...

    Brad Pitt to star as General McChrystal in upcoming "The Operators" movie

    Maybe after he eats one meal daily for months, cuts his weight by 25% and "bulks down"?

    Fitness for Operational Requirements of CAF Employment ( FORCE )

    As it said in the movie, we're here to protect democracy, not practice it. It doesn't matter if "we  agree" on a timed run as the way forward. D Fit staff developed the FORCE test, higher signed off on it and it is defensible from a BFOR point of view. It is the current standard and no amount...
