A few of us that are currently in our apprenticeship are also on the Ball hockey team for Regionals which is only a month away. Our ETO told us that we are not allowed to play sports while we are on our apprenticeship. Contradiction there - from reading your post the COC has consented? to your...

Good response as noted above.  Take your time with the SSRI withdrawal process, from experience (paxil) it can be a nasty ride.  Get to a recruiting center once you are SSRI and withdrawal symptom free, then commence the process / being mentally and physically fit comes first.  Prepare for the...

Twice inked at Pretty in Ink - one new and an old one redone; high quality and excellent price.  Aftercare is everything.

The part that is misleading in your original post is the statement  "If you make a VAC claim for disability they will use the GDMO reports for any diagnosis."  When in fact the use any number of reports, can be used i.e.  specialists such as audiologists, sleep centers, civilian treatment...

I can relate to your situation and it is a tough process.  It sounds like your recommendation for retention will be based on the resolution of the medical issue(s) that precipitated the TCAT.  So your CM may have been jumping ahead a little based on: TCAT (x2), PCAT, Review, Decision...

Ask for disclosure of, or request the references that are used for the Departmental eligilibity guidelines.  Research the scmidt out of osteoarthritis development subsequent to joint trauma; like become the Army.ca SME on osteoarthritis and joint trauma.  (Hopefully) with a view of providing...

That is really great news; thanks for posting.

I'm not impressed by the speed, he was driving a Yamaha R1 and it's within a liter bike's (motorcycle ~>1000cc) capability.  Agree with yourself and others regarding the stupidity of his actions. The old saying - if you want to race, take it to the track.

I have had a positive experience so far / being open to and utilizing IPSC support has been key to this.  It has been tough emotional process for me, which has precipitated a few rants here and elsewhere. Part of my challenge has been accepting it's ok to ask for help.  I'm released 3b this fall...

Similiar sentiments as above, during my 24 years I've only been into a Legion <10 times. The one time I found the civilian members w/o any previous service to be less than cordial. Their relevance as an organization is pretty bad when they need to go after another Vets association for something...

Sounds like he was bagged during the R3 screening in Gagetown. I've run into a few similar during my recovery; though was always quite fond of the trg area down there even in the rain ;D. Anyways, my personal tmt by the 'system' has been outstanding, including my CDU GP who is extremely well...

Well, received news Friday that I'm heading back to the subject centre.  Feeling good about this and the opportunity it is presenting.  Anecdotal - this is my 100th post (don't hassle me I'm a member  ;D) Joining army.ca last fall was a great decision and really positive for my recovery.  Since...

Much Thanks Wook.  Tough to get around the benefit vs. the impact and unfortunately received little information prior to commencing this treatment option.

Great name - sincere congratulations to yourself and family.  Have to love Grandparents - let the spoiling begin. Keep us posted on your wingmance  ;D

Really good advice, the one nuance to your first post that is often overlooked is with Laurentian Valley Township. All the municipal services, same address (as you noted,) same distance / faster in some respects to go 417 then back gate and lower property taxes

Did you just post an outrageously delicious dessert recipe in the Manly Thread? ;D  Sounds quite good, in particular the use of crumbled biscotti.  Much thanks, I'll give it a go this summer.
