I'll chime in on this one for you. The important distinction to make is whether you are using a sports drink (like Gatorade) used to rehydrate or an energy drink (like red bull). Watch out for the energy drinks, they contain caffeine and sugar. People sometimes use energy drinks during or after...

They won't enrol you because of where you live? Why the heck would that matter?

1. People who say they hate stupid people, as if by some divine intervention they have been anointed as the arbiter who decides who is stupid and who isn't. Unless of course the stupid people really are stupid. 2. Slagging officers just because they are officers. 3. Neighours who let their...

Probably the easiet place to start is by calling up the Area Cadet Officer (Army) at the Regional Cadet Support Unit Detachment Edmonton. They should be able to point you in the direction of any Edm area units that are short staffed. You can find email and telephone # for ACO(Army) staff at...

Hi All, The component transfer (CT) process has undergone some work as well. A Res F member CTing to the Reg F is rank protected based on ADM (HR-MIL) Instruction 07/05. A Cpl Res F member going Reg F would keep the Cpl rank if they are considered a skilled applicant IAW the instruction. A...

Hey nsmedicman, You might not be a candidate for the PRL, but I'll bet your local Res Fd Amb would snap you up. In response to ParaMedTech's post, there is a difference between employable and deployable. Res F Med Techs QL4 with the new "ehanced gap training" as Reg QL3 equivalent are...

One has to wonder where judges live. They seem to have no difficulty at all in putting all manner of scum back on the street and they don't seem all that concerned about it. I guess when they are sitting on committees to determine their own high salaries (to ensure judicial independence) they...

Pontine stroke related to hypertonic saline isn't quite correct. The problem is potential central pontine myelinolysis which is a risk when correcting severe hyponatremia (depleted sodium). Infusing hypertonic saline can cause hypernatremia which can lead to neurological symptoms...

I'll share my smoking story too. Started at 13. One of my brothers thought it would be fun to watch me inhale and have fits of coughing, but it was "cool" to smoke with the older guys, so I kept doing it. Then in my early 20's when posted to Cold Lake I was returning from Edmonton and stopped...

Its an old thread, but I'll add this just in case anyone comes by. Nursing Officer career progression in the Reserve Force is: RESO Enters as OCdt and can be promoted to 2Lt upon competion of BOTP(R), then does BCT Phases 1 and 2. Upon completion of BCT and RN degree/dilpoma is eligible for...

Hey Sqn-Medic, You may have not only been the first one to hang themselves in the honey-bucket on a Herc, but I think you might be the only MCD to ever much M&M peanuts with a simulated peanut allergy (OMG I can't breath and my skin is getting really itchy) pt on your mission too! Ha Ha Ha...

Well, you should be able to get it from your unit or from the MCSP section on the Health Services Gp DIN (not internet). I think I have an e-copy of it somewhere too, let me know if you can't find it. Sorry for the delay in replying to your post. Was away on TD.

The elusive Reg F QL5 PLA equivalency. The QL5 scope contains components that are not part of most PCP or ACP programs or found in the NOCP for those provider levels. The PLA process works, but you have to be able to document training/experience in all of the QL5 areas of comptency, not just the...

Reserve Recruiting in Health Services units: the recruiter was correct, preference is given to those with civilian qualifications. The target set for Reserve Field Ambulances is to recruit 50% of new members who already have a civilian qualification (EMT, Paramedic, RN, MO, LPN/PRN, etc..), so...
