Did the ANA PAs have to successfully challenge a certification exam? ;-)

The spec you have listed are for the army's medical branch, they are not applicable to the current air force mess dress. As for the pic of the new and improved mess dress, I'm not surprised to see that scuffed oxfords are still the standard in the RCAF!

Simple, HCAs assigned the uniform of the blue suited master race wear a gold coloured, winged caduceus above their name tag when in service dress...  While at fancy events, they wear uniform identical to the one pictured with a sanguine cummerbund, scuffed oxfords and a bad attitude as they...

Fishy?  The gunner's story reeks of bovine excrement however, CBC editors would have confirmed their claims before publishing the story, right?

What BA fails to mention, there never was a successful donkey borne IED attack on the airfield during my watch. It must have been the incredible hearts and minds program that I conducted with Zubrik and his handler... BTW,  the only short arm that I looked at while in Ismailia was my own!

Leaving Pet in the middle of a snow storm for 6 month deployment to Ismailia Egypt. The ordered dress, S3 with great coat, it was so cold that I actually wore my Russian fur hat! Over the course of 24 hours, I was peeling off layers like an onion. My fur hat was left in the Ottawa AMU and my...

I'm betting the Boss ain't buying her story either...

Cool your jets princess! Funding, fitness, availability, vacancies, sequencing, conflicts, and priorities (and a whole truck load of other factors) will influence when you undergo "SQ"...  So, YES/YES was the correct response from the Modlrmike!

The RCN owns all seagoing medical positions and the pers posted against the billets (Med Tech/PA).  The chiefs / MOC advisor of the CF H Svcs clinics in Esq/Hfx play a pivotal role in manning the seagoing billets with appropriate pers (environmental qual , aviation medicine, diving medicine...

I was posted to CFMG HQ APS 2001, when I left 3 years later it was still officially CFMG. That being said, CF H Svcs Gp was in common usage during the period 2002-2003 although the MOO/CFOO wasn't signed off until much later. In the Regular Force Med Tech became the official name of the...

The RCMP are dropping their investigation as the so-called victim slashed his own neck/throat, no news link yet.

No, I don't think so. I had a 64 pattern ruck and the cargo pack, both were issued at the same time.

I was issued the "cargo pack"  in 1975, and returned it, unused when I retired last year.  The weird/interesting thing about the pack was that it has a soft, leather lined tumpline strap that transfered weight from your shoulders/back to your forehead/neck! I suspect they were designed for use...

I was present when a former DGHS damn near blew an ovary when she discovered that ambulances, with the red crosses concealed, were being armed with C6s. As a non-clinician, even she understood that ambulance crews had no desire in becoming martyrs in a jihad...

It has just been announced that all Members of Parliament will receive the DGM. Meaning the party girl / bar manager who wasn't even in the country during the election is about to be recognized, along with the 4 remaining Bloc members, for their dedicated service to Canada!

The Man Who Would Be King, starring Connery and Caine. One of my best memories as an OMLETeer was showing the movie to my ANA Kandak with simultaneous translation provided by my 'terp. They finally understood what a mentor from away was all about. >:D

She's a nurse who retired from the CF almost 30 years ago. If you were to ask her, she would tell you that as a result of her fine work in NDHQ  women are permitted to fly helicopters....
