Apparently Mr Flaherty suffered a massive heart attack. What a tragedy for his family, friends and colleagues. This is especially poignant coming only one month after stepping down as Finance Minister. Thank you for your service to Canada. RIP.

Wow!  Very promising technology. This reminds me of the movie "The Water Engine" which threatened the primacy of the automobile-petrochemical industry duopoly. We shall see if this technology is sufficiently scalable and efficient to permit the USN to curtail dependence on POL resupply.

The simple solution is to stop playing, thus conserving bandwidth for the rest of us on these fora.

The FORCE test has one standard that is not gender specific ie women must pass the same tests as men within the same available time. For example, the first test is to lift a 20 kg sandbag above a line on the wall, 30 reps in 3.5 minutes.  This can be very difficult for a 45 kg person, should be...

To Green, then I will disregard what you post after that sentence, since your "advice" has no basis in experience or expertise. To ZeiGezunt, the letter will inform you why you are not medically fit for enrolment.  Hopefully it will arrive soon.

A cubit was an ancient Egyptian method of measurement, based on the length of the forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger.  In this case, the cubital tunnel is where the ulnar nerve runs over the elbow, and is analogous to the median nerve and the carpal tunnel at the wrist.

Given that the Europeans and the US lack the will to make even the smallest useful gesture to deter Russian expansion, there is no way that Canada is going to "bolster" them with "in situ" forces.  Never mind a war weary and financially fragile US against the backdrop of global financial...

I believe that RMC and Emirates Airlines have cornered the global supply of pillbox hats. If the RCMP want some, they'll need a contact through PWGSC with the usual appropriate regional benefits.  ;D

Number one choice is likely pilot of the 4 engined fixed wing variety. After that, other RCAF or RCN trades rather than CA.

I concur.  If "travel" is what you seek, then consider Air Canada, Westjet, Princess Cruise Lines, etc. otherwise, you're likely to visit such scenic destinations as Bosnia, Afghanistan, Haiti, Honduras, various middle eastern or African countries which are either in conflict or post-disaster. ...

+1 for the Petzl Tactikka headlamp recommendation. Baby Wipes. You might consider a small battery-powered electric razor, which beats both shaving with cold water or singing your eyebrows when the immersion heater flares up (although I realize you're interested in "warm climate" ops).

I thought that this documentary was an excellent illustration on how the experience of war can change not only the soldier, but also send negative ripples through their family that last a lifetime. It's clear that Patrick Stewart's relationship with his father was less than ideal.

"We can only confirm that it was directly above where tunnel excavation was occurring, and at this point we cannot confirm its root cause"...said deputy city manager Nancy Schepers.  Coupled with an overnight thaw and significant rainfall, I suspect that the tunnel excavation is likely...

If there are, they're unlikely to identify themselves as belonging to CANSOF.  However, others may be able to help you with your questions.

Beezer, your Base/Wing Surgeon can send an email to D Med Pol asking them to expedite your file review, since your CT is on hold until it is completed. Ask your doc to discuss with his/her BSurg.

My suggestion is to do...nothing. If the Recruiting Medical Officer has concerns, you will be contacted to provide further information at that time.

Good Riddance!  The day that Mike9C joins the LOF is the day that I may reconsider changing my opinion about them.

Must you ask, when you already know the answer?

Col Russel has retired from the CF and works as a civvy doc In Gagetown. Col Kyle is the Army Surgeon and doesn't handle recruiting. Medical Officer recruiting PoC is LCol Annette Snow who works for us part-time as a reservist. Everyone accepted to MMTP does a two year Family Medicine...

The RCL definition of "veteran" is anyone who has served and has completed basic training ie BMQ.  This means that those still serving are veterans, those who released after Basic are vets, etc.
