Joining with the sole intent of a diving career is not too realistic either. Clearance divers are the only RegF career that has diving as its primary job - the other types mentioned (shallow water, like combat, ship's team) are all diving-as-secondary-duty. Worst case scenario, you might not get...

I agree to double-check. But many times "childhood asthma"...isn't. And the MT/PA at the recruiting center knows that, so if they took a good history (how old, ever take meds/need to go to ER for it, did you have an actual diagnostic test for it vs did the doc just call it asthma when you...

I don't have an issue with it, although I was a bit surprised. In the vid the Legion spokesperson does say they hope to negotiate with Costco for the Fri before Remembrance Day, for next year. Mostly I'm amused that CBC is calling ex-Cadets vets. War vets, poppy vets. Sleepover camp vets?

It does, it's that they have specific days/hrs set aside, that Mr. Hamilton didn't know about when he went there.

According to CBC, "Poppy veteran" is a thing: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/poppy-veteran-kicked-out-of-costco-1.2417435 The article calls Mr. Hamilton both a former cadet and a war veteran. (The video does not - I gather he's an ex-cadet and a civi Legion member supporting...

This. That said, if you really want to exercise, I do some light running if I'm just mildly ill, and I listen to my body. Sometimes the exercise makes me feel better. If it makes me feel worse, I quit and let my body recover some more.

Honestly, until you're off the medication that's supposed to control the issues, no one can tell if you "still suffer from issues." But you have a great attitude about the likelihood of being told tthat you have to wait. Good luck to you!

LOL this. OP, aim for what your health care provider advises you. Remember, they will provide documentation for the CAF. If their documentation boils down to "this crazy ass goes off his meds randomly against medical advice" you might as well save yourself the time it takes to fill out the...

Yes and no. You will have a medical done by a PA (or a sr med tech working with a PA), at the recruiting center. But a large part of the assessment will be your health records, letters from your civi practitioners, etc. Then your whole file will go for review and you may or may not be asked to...

They will at least see (and you should tell them) that you had no idea what your issue was at 16 and that the walk-in doc who wrote the letter was not your regular physician and did not have the ER and biopsy records to review (I assume that's the case, and that your current doc has them for...

If you're interested in medicine, with or without the military, your first step is getting into med school. Your security question will be moot if you don't get in. MOTP does not help you get into med school; you don't apply to the program until you have secured med school admission, on your...

Therapies covered under SoC undergo evidence-based reviews, especially new therapies using already-accepted equipment (as happened under hearing aids, which SoC covers, used for tinnitus rather than hearing loss; it can actually take the system a while to catch this and go "hey wait, should we...

This is the same person?: http://www.bodybuildinglive.com/profiles/helen_bouchard.htm http://muscle-insider.com/photos/cbbf-nationals-edmonton-guest-poser-helen-bouchard If yes, steroid use would be no surprise, of course. But trafficking? That's just dumb  :(

CAF is a pretty great job opportunity in many ways - for many trades you need nothing more than HS (or even less), they'll train you fully, and it takes serious screwing up before they fire you. But that's why it's also gotten progressively more competitive. Sure, you don't need to have...

Well, mamy CAF members probably are flakes. No different than the rest of the population. The Helmet to HH type programs extol the leadership and self-motivation of CAF members, and that's true in many cases...but untrue in others. Being one of the last true cradle-to-grave career opportunities...

Eh. I agree that it's more on the CAF and members themselves - with the exception of programs like Helmets to Hard Hate, employers on the whole aren't in the business of providing "support" to populations that might want a job. They're interested in hiring good employees with the proper...

I just figured that thought was "troll"?

You'd just claim a chiro session, not a specific modality. But the chiro is expected to write a report to your MO (what they're doing, how the patient is progressing, whether more sessions are needed, etc). If what you've (general you) been getting is massage-by-another-name from the chiro, and...

Chiros do have modalities under their "Soft Tissue Manual Therapy" umbrella which are essentially massage by another name. That's just an example of how someone could end up getting "massage" without actually being approved for massge - because it's given under the name of a chiropractic...
