What always amazes me is the absolute BS that so many PS workers get away with..... One cubicle denizen near me kept measuring their desk and arguing that it was too small for a person with their PS classification. This same, and rather unstable person, started yelling one day 'why won't they...

What city are you in? If you are still in the Montreal area, 51 Field Ambulance can be reached at 514-283-8428. Otherwise let me know which city you live in, and I'll see if I can dig up the number or email for the nearest Field Ambulance. As for getting through the process in time for BMQ &...

In theory the annual Credentialing Report submitted by each Health Services unit should help to eliminate this. Even in my Res Fd Amb, every year we submit an annual report wherein we must prove that all of our licensed clinicians are still licensed, and have no action pending against them. As...

Speaking of folks impersonating Doctors - in today's news there is the story of an 18 year old in Florida impersonating a Doctor....'Doctor' Malachi Love-Robinson. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/florida-teen-impersonates-doctor-1.3452807

I was on the same Roto as Lord Byron. His SM was for the nose thingy. But.....his nose was not partially amputated, it was more split in half - quite nasty still. The convoy did carry on, and he was not evacuated - he insists that he was heroically adamant it carry on with him, others say it...

Lord Byron does indeed have the SM - though as I've noted, it was not due to enemy action, but a kid with a rock..... How he was deemed a candidate for the QDJM with all of his history is beyond me as well..... As soon as the dust settles, he'll be right back at it. In the ~20 years I've been...

Archaeology certainly isn't the preferred degree for HCA - but it is not necessarily a showstopper. BTW - my first degree was History, and I started a second one in Archaeology before doing the MA in War Studies - no link at all to health care.  What is currently happening, is that the preferred...

That's a great question! And I don't have an answer, though one could guess that the 'work' involved served as a deterrence to doing it.

It's a step up from Master Private..... That part didn't bother me - the press always gets our ranks wrong, and Lord B does have an accent that may have led to the reporter not hearing it properly.

Jarnhamar - even with Lord (MCpl) Byron, he would have a hard time claiming OSI/PTSD for wearing of extra bling.  As I mentioned, he's been doing these things since the mid 1990's - well before he ever deployed.....

Oh dear God, the Walts are fighting back! Whatever shall we do??? Poor Tom, or Clint, or whomever this really is......

I can state with certainty that MCpl (Ret'd) Rodriguez: a.  Does not have jump wings, at all; b.  Never deployed to Cyprus as part of the UN mission; c.  Did not do 'three tours' in Afghanistan - he did two, and was returned home early from his second tour for 'issues'. This might explain why...

Quick question - where is the balance between enabling an MP to conduct an investigation without interference versus the need to protect OPSEC? For example, if an MP asked/demanded entrance into an area where Secret (or higher) material, crypto, comms eqpt, etc was currently in use, can the OC...

Another Special Snowflake..... I hope she doesn't get parasites. When she gets older, will she be a crazy cat lady, or a crazy human lady?

Andrew - I cannot stress enough the need to get the proper care as soon as you can. First off, I'll tell you a bit about my background, so you know I speak from experience. After a deployment (08/09), I was diagnosed with moderate to severe PTSD with dissociation, Major Depressive Disorder...

The analysis actually shows that the sword cannot have been made before the 1880's, so it could be quite recent. Interesting read on her methodology.

Is there not a standing requirement that x% (25?) of all Federal infrastructure in the NCR must be on the Quebec side? I've heard this cited many times as to why certain orgs will be left in Gatineau after others consolidate in the Carling Campus.

From the OT reports I have read, they use a template to get to know the client, and their degree of mobility, etc. Then, they assess their abiltiy to conduct basic activities like cook, use the toilet, bathe themselves, etc - some of the reports have a series of checklists they cover in creating...

Without knowing what Province we're talking about, my generic advice would be to get hold of the services of an Occupational Therapist (OT). They can do an in-home assessment to determine what is required to allow your Aunt to conduct 'activities of daily living' and 'independent activities of...

My personal suspicion, is that the 'burden of proof' has become ridiculously high for a Cdn VC. Unless you lose both legs, and then take out an enemy position, while a CBC news team is filming it from at least three angles, it will not happen. And, we don't want our government to be publically...
