You can get cmp's on the evilbay, but good news: Italeri is re-releasing the CMP 15 cwt for 2007.

There seems to be some confusing regarding Standard First Aid, Combat Related First Aid, TCCC, and TacMed (formerly Med TCCC). Suffice to say they are all different courses and the SME's are better at describing the content than I. I would like to see some evidence that shows what skills...

They are a sharp looking uniform. Patrols are still worn at RMC (or at least they were in the 80's) and I have see some RCHA Gunners take them out for special functions (incl weddings, where I think they look better than mess kit). As for bringing them back - no thanks! Too many uniforms and...

Howie, in this particular case, we aren't wasting a medics time. The Bison dvr positions on 1-08 are MOC 971 (Any) positions that happen to be filled with 'unqualified'* medics. Ie, if these 8 x PRes Medtechs were not filling the dvr positions, they would not be going over on Roto 5 in any...

I've always liked "John Peel", "The Meeting of the Waters"  and "Blue Bonnets over the Border", and you can't go wrong with "A Hundred Pipers". For brass & Reed, gotta be "Bonnie Dundee and The Keel Row medley", though you'd be double-timing it, if it were a marchpast. Another one I have on...

Just dug up some other Amb's for those who may be interested: WW2: C-8 HUA C-15 AA (I think CWM may have one on display, based on 15 cwt Chevy CMP chassis). Kangaroo (A Sherman / Ram tank with the turret removed, used by 4 & 5 Armd Div) Universal Carrier (aka Bren Gun Carrier) It appears...

slightly OT; perhaps someone from DLR might be able to answer, but is the Army Bison fleet being consolidated in order to provide more Ambulances for the HSRs?

I thought ADATS crews had been using micro-climate vests for years? Though IIRC they were filled with a glycol coolent?

If you draw it, they will come... Profile I drew of a CF Osprey painted up as a SAR bird per CC-115 markings

As stated. Though if he or she does not approve, finding new Amb drivers after TOCA will be an interesting prospect.

I'm glad you were able to get a Q! I took a risk and decided to buy, in the hopes that the market continues to rise and I am posted to a less expensive area. I finally found a place in October. I ended up paying $370k for a 1500 sq ft house, it was on the market 1 day and we were one of three...

This is still a bit of a tender point with me HCA123! My PLA was turned down due to a lack of 'medical' trg, despite CFRG , the CM, and CFMSS supporting the PLA; it was rejected by Ottawa (24 hours before I departed for BHCA..grrr...repack!) Of the 20-odd days of Basic Fd Trg, I found...

Correct, and here's some background info. There were 4 key issues to employing PRes MedTechs as Bison drivers: 1. In 1 CMBG, the posns have traditionally gone to LdSH(RC), however given the Leopard C2 tasks, manpower at their Regt is at a premium. The Strathcona's indicated that they would...

enjoy - it may only work through DWAN though http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/amsus/zmm

excellent - appears I can access this through DWAN free of change via ingentaconnect.

This sounds like a good journal to have in the unit library. Does your unit have a subscription to it?

Ahh, yes of course M38A1 Cdn Jeeps. Thanks!

The Ambulance replacement thread got me wondering what vehicles have served as ambulances in the CF. I think I'm OK on the post-war list, but I'm sure there are gaps in the pre-1945 era. Current: Bison G-wagon (not sure?) LSVW MLVV (as a dental SEV) Post WW2: Iltis M-113A1 / A2 5/4 ton (not...

Leo, its not that a BSc(geo) is unacceptable, its just that you will be competing against those who have BAdm, BComm, and even MBA & MHA degrees plus many have prior mil experience. As an aside, will the CF still take you as ROTP for the balance of your degree? The reason I ask is, a few years...

I'm going through Edmonton sticker-shock right now. $380 - $400,000 for a 1400 sq ft home is pretty darn steep. Houses in the bracket I was looking at in April have increased $120,000 in only 4 months. I know PLD is based on more than just real-estate, but the high prices here in NE & NW...
