RON-Chin Up. A 6 month deferral is Sweet F.A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most people get a 1 or 2 year deferral, so it's really not that bad. To put it in perspective a deferral is not a fail. They just want to gauge your motivation and drive to become a...

The definitive test is the Farnsworth D15, the Ishihara (Colourplates with numbers) isn't. However it is the most used test! Speaking from personal experience I can not see anything in the Ishihara plates, however I have no problems with the D15 at all. It was explained that it's not my vision...

DA Paterson- Cadets do actually recieve pay, however it is taken off at source to pay for R+Q, medical and insurance. You are then presented Post-Depot with a dirty big T4  around tax time. Noneck

If I hadn't been working OT yesterday, I would have been in the firing party! It doesn't surprise me though, we have dogs attached to each Tac Tp. At the start of each practice or operation they run the dogs through the ranks to get them "socialized", I had this dog the size of a small wolf...

"All I ask they do is take a moment and look at us as a potential employer and make an informed decision as to whether or not it is something they would like to pursue rather than writing us off because of urban myth.Such urban myths include beliefs that the RCMP only wants to hire members of...

Do not go researching things about the poly. Get some rest, do not have any caffeine and go in their and bare your soul. If you are completely honest you will have nothing to worry about. It is an incomfortable and somewhat "Dirty" experience, however the poly examiners have heard it all and...

No worries I see Rob D at least once a week, i am sure he will provide his copy for burning by the Lower Mainland Crew. Graham B, Rudy's 2 i/c was on vacation and didn't catch it, so we will have to have a screening for the Troops.....and maybe a few beers ;D noneck

Fusilier- Awesome news, You don't get unless you ask! Noneck

MedTech- I don't beleive it would work, because you would have to drastically extend their basic courses, by at least another 4 weeks in order to teach them the basic fundamentals. However if a PRes MP wanted to commit to taking the full Reg F MP course then by all means. That being said the...

Yeah there would be some serious knots in faces, not mention training gaps if PRes MP's after a 4 week trade course where given Peace Officer status! I had heard that Air Force Pres MPs go through the full meal deal MP training in Borden and thus are badged and carry full powers...is this true...

What can I say, we are all fighting for the same troops! 8) Noneck

I don't believe that it has anything to do with the CF. Rather the RCMP Act which prohibits members from ,"Moonlighting" as a peace officer  due to conflict of interest. You will probably find it under the Secondary Employment Regs. Noneck P.S I can recommend a good infantry unit in the LMD if...

Fusilier- Rudy did a great job, as did the rest of the troops, Rod's "matter of fact no BS" way of speaking makes me laugh !!! I was really worried that in typical Cdn TV fashion that they wouldn't do it justice.....I am pleased to say that it was great (apart from the helmets and BFA's)...

Dutchie936, Unfortunately I cannot answer that as I belong to the other LMD Infantry Regiment that wears kilts! However that being said I am one of the SNCO's in our Depot Pl. As such I can speak about what we are doing with our BMQ (-) folks, myself and the Pl Comd have agreed that we must...

My initial popst on this thread was premature! The skinny in the LMD is no BMQ until at the earliest January(Maybe) . The focus will be developing and training PLQ candidates so that we have enough MCpl's to run CITY training next year. We currently have 12-15 troops who are waiting for BMQ or...

I just picked up a CADPAT IFAK from Hobey at ICETactical. There are two different models, one that will attach to the side of the issue Tac Vest and another that will take malice clips. The pouch is basically two pieces with an external envelope that attaches to the vest and an internal pouch...

Wesley and gate_guard ++++++++1 Definitely has it's place as an investigative tool and that includes pre-employment testing! Noneck

I haven't done the Block Training yet, but one of the guys i work with was on the second serial. He was talking about the Tac Med scenarios (self aid, buddy aid then med aid) and said that they were teaching the use of  CAT's and even discussed  HEMCON and Quickclot. I guess they are teaching...

"Trusted Mole" is a great read I bought it on the way to  Ibiza and couldn't put in down! That's saying a lot if you've ever been there. I have wondered what happened with this case, I remember at one point there was a website set up in support of Maj. Stankovic. Personally I think 1 million...

What have you done to address the issue(s) that led to you ending up in the tank? Have you made a conscious decision to distance yourself from the situations that led to you spending a night with "breakfast in bed"? Be prepared these are all questions that may get asked if you get to the...
