Does anyone know of any CF member who has redressed their Med Rel date due to the MND's statement that  (paraphrased) " no member would be released until THEY are ready to go " ?? Thanks

Just read this in the TO Star this am... Good on you Sir.. "Jack Aldred, an 89-year-old World War II Navy vet, plans to march in uniform on Canada Day without asking permission."

I just checked with a buddy, retired 8 CH and RCMP...on his retirement card there is box that is checked that says " "Authorized to Wear Uniform"  .... He said as an RCMP member he'd NEVER charge a vet with a uniform offence only for wearing it to functions..(unless he was trying to defraud...

The resulting public and media storm would send any commander to duck and cover should any old vet be arrested/detained for attending a function in his former uniform...

This may have recently been posted but I just read it on the news... Now this is interesting: "“I’m very glad that he (MacKay) has publicly stated that all soldiers who have been wounded can stay in as long as they want,” Kirkland said. “It’s not just me now; he publicly stated that all...

Does anyone know if the Engineer school in Gagetown has a kit shop, and if so, do they have branch ties and lapel pins ?  My brother in law is a retired CWO and is looking for these items.  Thanks

I was recently hospitalized, 5 surgeries over 2.5 years.  On one of my visits, my wonderful nurse told me a story.  She's married to a Fed gov't employee who has PSHCP.  I had inquired about getting a semi-private room, using my wife's insurance.  She told me that all hospitals, at least in NB...

There's a publicly available website with almost all Fed gov't employees listings on line.  If you need direct lines..... here ya go: http://sage-geds.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/cgi-bin/direct500/eng/TE?FN=index.htm

Thanks Med...that's the way I'll go too (and that what my initial plan was lol) Cheers

I'm just starting to fill in the app for LTD.  I read it over in full before I'll complete it and notice that SISIP are asking what VAC pension/Awards have been received.  With the court case last year eliminating the SISIP claw-back, has anyone just ignored that portion of the info ??  I don't...

I'm posted to my local JPSU awaiting 3(b).  Today they came out a form that we must have filled in by any health care provider, CF or Civ that we visit to "prove" that we were there.  Is this SOP or just something someone  came up with ?? I do feel that it can breech medical privacy in some...

Hi All: I'll be released, 3(b), before June 2013.  I've been looking at taking a 1 or 2 year program, but not much is offered in my area.  Will the CF pay any type of R&Q if the crse is taken away from home, i.e. 2-3 hours away ??  Is there any restrictions on geographic locations?  (i.e. can a...

I "filled" my claim as it were, will have to wait out until either: a. VAC's Doc see me, or b. I get released and my own civ Dr does the report.  Now I was at the Civ MO today.  She mentioned that she had submitted my med file to Ottawa in mid January with hers and B Surg's recommendations...

I need some advice.  I'm now on a PCAT, or at least the MO sent it to Ottawa for PCAT in Jan of this year.  I just spoke to VAC about filing a claim but I will have to see their Dr, which will take over a year to get an appointment.  They told me if I'm released in the meantime my civ Dr can do...

lol.  A few years ago I actually phoned them and in Orlando and that was the answer I got.  I'm about to retire (with 2 years) and we'll be doing a bit of travelling, back to Germany etc.  I guess I might have to show up and see what happens. I do know I contacted Patrick AF Base in Cocoa Beach...

Thanks Pusser...yup, that's what I'm looking for "personal experience".
