I just got my official orders today, I'll be heading up from Moncton, New Brunswick. Look forward to seeing you people there! Any other east coasters here?

Thanks, MedCorps. Awesome answer. I've achieved all my Competencies and such as laid fourth by Medavie HealthEd. Graduation is 8 July, then hopefully a July BMQ otherwise it'll be PAT platoon for me. Back on track, I've a few classmates interested in applying as a Semi-Skilled (New Brunswick...

I dealt with CFRC Det Moncton, now I have a ULO who manages me. Your guys' trades?

It's looking that way for myself, I finish my PCP NCM SEP course on 8 July. My ULO is out of office so I have to wait a bit to see. Hopefully see you there!

Sorry that I can't link you to it, I'm on my Mobile in the arse end of nowhere doing coverage. SFRC (Ammo Source) had the KSG for sale last time I checked, I'll see if I can find the link for you, they also have some very cheap 12 gauge shells. Because let's face it, we both know tat you can't...

Thanks, Acen. I live in Moncton, New Brunswick at the moment and am having difficulty finding stores which actually sell a fair amount of camping/hiking equipment. I like to try before I buy, that's why I'm so skeptical and cautious when buying equipment. I'm liking the Gregory packs, though...

Thanks, Eye in the Sky. My post got cut short by a call, we were called off though so I can elaborate a bit more. Pack price range anywhere up to 175$ I've been looking at the Maxpedition Falcon II though I hear a LOT of mixed opinions. As for the gear I'm replacing, just a bunch of little...

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a good pack for camping? My old one unfortunately met its demise at the hands of a campfire, so I'm in the market for a new one. I pretty much plan on replacing most of my gear. Any recommendations? I usually make 3-4 day trips in the woods with a couple...

Hey people, quick question. I'm nearing the end of my NCM-SEP PCP program and was wondering at what point would one earn the Health Services badge? Upon completing BMQ? Or upon completing BMQ, BMQ-L and the scope expansion course in Borden?

Did he by any chance take a course or possibly go through some form of post-secondary education as paid for by the CF? Subsidized Education possibly? On a side note, is Warrior Platoon still a possibility?

Hey, People. I've a few questions, I'm midway through my Preceptorship phase at PCP school. I was wondering is there are any bridging programs from a QL5 Med Tech to a Civillian ACP? Also, I was wondering if I need to be registered in the province in which I'm posted in order to operate as a CF...

The CF will provide you with Prescription inserts for Ballistics? I was unaware of this, I've slowly been adjusting to contact lenses. Perhaps the OP should consider them? Can anyone offer input?

A lot of good recommendations, my next trip to Chapters should hopefully be an expensive one. Can anyone recommend any books that revolve around Battlefield medicine? I.e. Medics, Corpsmen etc. (No, I did not read all 11 pages of this thread :P)

Thanks so much for the information, greatly appreciated. Gave me some things to research over the break. How do you tend carry the gear itself? Different pack? etc. It's pretty snowy down here in NB, so just consider this as me stirring the pot a bit before I head back out to shovel for the 6th...

You mean it's not as easy as sticking a Bic Pen in the Cricothyroid Membrane?  :P Also, the Salbutamol I can understand if employed to counter possible Asthmatic problems while in the field? Much appreciated, Rider Pride. That pretty much clears up all my questions in terms of equipment! I...

Thanks, Skeletor. Great link, milpoints inbound. All of that looks relatively familiar aside from the HSD which I've had no dealings with whatsoever. Not all that familiar with administration of Hypertonic solutions at this point in time, I'm assuming that's one of the things I'll be taught at...

Hey guys, just an update. I'm about midway through my PCP course as an NCM-SEP. There have been a few questions I've been looking to ask, but since the Detachment I'm based out of doesn't seem to have any Medical Technician's on staff and the school isn't running any AEC courses at the moment. I...

Hey, guys and gals. Quick question, any one else have any negative experiences with Jump squats? Kind of like a burpee without the pushup. Past two times we've done PT, I've thrown up as a result of the burpees. Sit ups, Push Ups, Squats. None of it else seems to have an effect, as soon as I get...

Thanks, Devo! Much appreciated, best of luck to you! One of the many things I learned in the process, Patience. All about the patience, but the reward is just so satisfying and amazing. A lot of pride comes with it as well, from pretty well all aspects of life. That's my experience with it at...

Thanks, Eye in the Sky. I'm definitely looking into it, I'm on my SEP for a year, though on my days off I'm still going back to my volunteer FF coverage area. I always like to have a decent sized blade on me for Wildlands fires. First thing I do with those knives is paint the handle orange...
