It is not Doeskin but it fits me like it was tailored for me ;D By the way, is wearing the cumberbun or wiastcoat a choice or dress regs. It came with the cumberbun but since then I have herd that the waistcoat is the way to go. GF

Perhaps this is highjacking a thread in the second post, or perhaps continuing the thread but I am loath to start yet another Afghanistan thread with a simple post. Mods, if there is a better place for this post that I could not find then please transplant.   This is a good read - funny how it...

Sask is opening legislation as well to get the PAs into the ED and other areas. NPs are already there in some cases as they do not need new legislation for the job only and expanded scope of practice. GF

Well, yes you will be spending some time in Borden but not alot as a reservist. The progression in the reserves for an NO is almost the same as a Res HCA BCT (Med), ICT (Med), Staff officers course (Just changed name), ACT (Med) and down the line. They are modularizing BNOC for the reserves but...

I was just talking to Tim Nutt, one of the comics from the show. I mentioned the fact that the boys in the FOBs need this stuff far more than we at KAF do. His responce was simple. "There is no F*in way I'm going out there! It's just plain too dangerous!" So here ya have it gang. Right from the...

SMMT, It is true that the troops in the FOB need this stuff far more than I do in the comfort of KAF but that same hardship that has you there also causes a serious liability to the civi performers that want to go out. The host of the show said over and over agian after the performance that he...

Late or not for the telecast back in Canada, the troops had a great time last night, me included! My face hurt from laughing and my voice was horse this morning from yelling. A great time was had by all! GF

One CCNO from 17 Fd Amb just left, one CCNO from 16 is still there, two from the PRL  and a Sgt from one of the Fd Ambs in Que.

IMHO there is pushing the envelope and then there is experimentation on troops. The side effects of this stuff is scary. PE, Stroke, MI to name a few. GF

As a PRes RN in KAF I have to say, get some experience under your belt before coming to the box! The Critical care course for ether ICU or ER is beneficial although there are GDNOs in theater as well. Tours are not going to be going away soon so get comfortable in your role, get some experience...

It has been said again and again but as I sit and type this in my old patern DBs that bite into the tops of my feet I wish the kit shop had processed my order for the SWATS. My orrigional issue of DBs from Yugo in 92 still fit like slippers but are beat to rat from years of use. You can now...

Perhaps he and NDP Jack could go out and "debate" with the Taliban together...just a thought.

Funny, I just had this debate with the CSM the other night in the DFAC at KAF. She informed me that the dress regs stated that fleece was only worn as an outer garmet when in the field therefore I had to put my fleece under my shirt. I turned it around and asked her where I was to turn in my...

For the first time in 22 years I did not attend the local parade. I worked the night shift as one of the CCNOs at the Role 3 MMU at KAF and had to go back for another shift last night. I am still beating my self up for ruining my stretch of attendance but that attendance would have rendered me...

Well, If ya are going to go commando then might I suggest a good dose of talcum or gold bond medicated body powder down south. It does soak up some of the perspiration and reduces that thigh friction problem...you could also work out till your thighs don't rub as well. Personaly, the issue...

Not really cold enough yet, it is dropping to a frigid 18-20 deg at night so it won't be long. Heck, I'm bringing mine to work tonight! Since it is loose fitting, there is little chance of adherence. there may be some flash over when the fuzz goes up but then you just get those little holes as...
