Just the fact that it is not exothermic is a big bonus. As to the cost, what is the cost of the rehab from a burn inside a wound VS no burn? If it works and the literature can prove it then lets get it out there!

The problem with the re org of the units based on Province is that you will be setting up more HQs. It will not effect Alberta or BC but Sask, Manitoba, and the Atlantic provinces. those provinces do not have the populations to support such an organization IMHO. PEI, NS, NB, Sask, and Manitoba...

For arguments sake, you are forgetting all of the Saskatchewan units and some of the Ontario units as well in your org. 16 Fd Amb (Med Coy) 17 Fd Amb (Med coy) 18 Fd Amb (Med Coy) 16 Svc Bn (Svc Coy) 18 Svc Bn (Svc Coy) RRR ( Inf Coy) N Sask R (Inf Coy) and the list goes on... GF

I could have sworn that was the point I was trying to make but perhaps too obtuse about it. I was not trying to get into a "Tastes Great, Less filling" pissing match. More sudjesting that We have stuff we can learn from the role 1 guys and vice versa. When I was in theater there was no...

OPSEC Some are there now, some are going soon, some are going later.

Frankly it does not matter which unit you belong to when it comes to deployment. If 1 Fd Amb is tasked with a Roto then those pers will fill both the role 1 and 3 positions. As Gunner said, its luck of the draw. Honestly, those in from the Fd Hosp had as much to learn about Role 3 work as those...

You will parade one Tuesday evening a week from 1900 hrs to 2200 hrs. One weekend a month for exercises. If you start the process now you will probably be able to go in for a summer BMQ course that will start close to the time the U of S gets out for summer. You will find that many of the...

I did not say that the role 3 crew understand your job, I am also saying that the reverse is true. What I am stating is that rotating through each others position may be beneficial. I just got back from KAF and so do have some idea what is going on over there. Check my bio and name, you may...

Sorry, From your responce I get the feeling that you are saying that you can learn nothing from the Role 3 medics but they have tonnes to learn from you. I disagree, Yes, the environment that the Role 1 crew work in is more austere and those who spend their tour at KAF have a more...

I believe there would be good value in the trade off going both ways. It is not about who's job is harder or more stressfull but more about the medical staff at the Role 3 getting a better understanding of the environment the casualties come from. Simultaneously, it would be beneficial for the...

Just saw a bit on the inventor and the suit on Discovery channel. Kooky but some good ideas. I have the inclination to think of the suit as a demo platform. Sort of like the concept cars that come out every year in Detroit auto shows. GF

First of all, welcome to the board Second, no profile, no info Third, I have read the policy and have worked it for the past three months GF

As one of the many staff working in the Role 3 that day, It is my honor and privilege to serve and assist the troops out side the wire in Afg. I will pass the link to this thread on to those still over in the sand box that do not frequent this forum. GF

PA= Physician's Assistant In regards to nursing in the CF, you are both right. I have just returned from the Role 3 MMU, KAF. Some of the other RN's I was working for had a wealth of experience by working in Civi hospitals back in Canada and paid for by DND. The CF is more than willing to send...

If ya think the brim on the MARPAT head dress is huge, ya should see the brim on the ADF one. When I find a pic I will post one GF

YES! YES! YES! Now perhaps we can start enforcing a physical fitness standard! Ohhhh Happy days! GF

I have just read the entire series while over at KAF. It was a fantastic and enlightening series. If you have not read them then I strongly recommend it and do yourself a favor and read them in order. GF

Imagine my surprise to be greeted at the airport with flashing cameras along with my family. Not the quiet reunion I was expecting but nice! http://www.canada.com/saskatoonstarphoenix/news/story.html?id=d732090c-50a7-41e5-9b1d-e9128ff831ac Front page to boot. GF

Flying home from the sand box to spend it with my family. Can you believe it? The army actualy got me on a flight that would get me home before X-mass!

A buddy of mine at the Role 3 MIR sums it up nicely GF
