Posting this 5 months after written - I hope your Thanksgiving was better than this morning.  I agree with the first two nuggets in Para 2 - promotion based on merit; and CFPAS being a fair system.  The rest, well not so much.  Good luck with whatever it is you are trying to accomplish and...

Hey Matt, thanks for your post.  Good call on finishing and graduating High School prior to applying.  There are many things (noted above) that you can do to make your application competitive.  Get some help with the challenges you are aware of and be prepared as possible to give it your best...

Apple fritter. :nod:

:+1:  Unfortunately that nugget would conflict with the above mentioned artistic mandate.  Equally not so good for sales amongst the crowd paying for a socially alternative reality.  :rofl:

Vincentimagio, not sure if you're concerned with authenticity/accuracy, however the correct term is Post Traumatic Stress (not shock) Disorder - PTSD.  Perhaps the word Stress is not as 'gritty' as your alternative, so I respect your artistic interpretation.  :2c: Ps.  Not interested / please...

Awesome!  Indeed a modern day warrior dad amongst men!  :salute:

Be The Difference:

Can't answer your question / do know provincial courts have $$/policies to reimburse people when attending court via subpoena. Read the below link and references that will give you some information.  Use it wisely / i.e. don't be a jackass and attempt to brief anyone on CF policy. Aspire to be...

Sounds like you were on a ride along?  Anyways, at the risk of contradicting the above, here are some thoughts. You noted he was on bail for another Assault Charge - causing bodily harm, which indicates he breached his conditions somehow + he assaulted you (another breach). As a threat to...

I attend a weekly meeting named Badge Of Courage. It is an AA group that was created in the 70s for police services in the Ottawa area. In the last two years they have opened their membership to include firefighters, EMS and military (retired and serving). The location is not disclosed...

I've had some challenges with meds/light sensitivity. I'm also reminded of the maxim 'everything said before the word but is usually BS.'  Anyways, I hope this exchange qualifies for this topic. Dr. (optometrist):  well, I can see you have a definite problem with light sensitivity. It is the...

After PT I realized I was out of soap/shower gel and used Green Works dishwashing liquid. It did a particularly good job "cleaning with the power you expect from Clorox," and didn't leave any spots on 9er trouser.

I reread Lance's post, though not stated I appreciate where he was going with that i.e. air drop capability as you noted below.  Depending on when you served with the SSF; as lance, yourself, myself - it was different.  During my time CAR was not the main effort, the transition in in ops was...

Not sure about that, prior to 2 Bde it was as capable as anything was in the CF at the time. DF=2 RCHA, AA = 1 AD Regt, AT = Tow Pl and RCD.  Some might suggest that the inf bn had more teeth at the time with Pioneers, Tow and Mortars. Completely agree with the point about the PT.  All the best.

Sincere thanks Mario/Jim, though feeling a little awkward in saying that, I greatly appreciate your support.  For me it is just an injury, a little complex and I'm just focused on getting better.  I'm fortunate to be here and have great support from both families.  In my experience the system...

Thanks for that dogger1936,  I'm new to the forum and recently started a blog about PTSD recovery:  http://enduringleaves.blogspot.com/  Similiar to recoveringwarrior, just a different approach and +content.  Homewood was really good for me / don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any...

Good advice concerning the %s.  I met with VAC two weeks ago and after the intros, said the only reason I'm here is because I was directed by the Dr. and have no expectation for anything from VAC.  He was actually nice after that little nugget and the meeting went good.  I'm keeping my...
