I've seen a few pictures of them with this. Here's one from Combat Camera.

If I can give you one piece of advice, it is to be as brutally honest in the Quality of Life assessment as possible. Detail every aspect of your life that has been impacted. If you have a spouse/partner, get them to give you feedback on changes they've noticed as well (we're not always aware of...

Vehicles are a huge issue for my unit as well. We have three LSVW Ambulances. At any given point, two are in maintenance for a variety of reasons. Ambulances are supposed to be a priority for repair, but this is Ottawa, and civilians tell us they have other things they are working on. When we do...

Never take a VR if a 3b is coming. There are indeed benefits and services that come with a 3b Release. Talk to the Client Services section of your supporting Integrated Personnel Support Centre. They can fill you in on all the transition programs and services. Once you release, you can't go back...

They should have thought that through a bit better...... The RCL does not in any way coordinate or run Operational Stress Injury Social Support (OSISS) - https://www.osiss.ca/en/ OSISS is a joint initiative between VAC and DND. It does use Legion facilities in some locations, but it is not...

Is it wrong for me to laugh my a$$ off thinking about WKRP's Turkey Drop episode?

Good morning all - we are getting a slideshow on administration of RFC posted onto the DCSM Intranet website shortly at: http://cmp-cpm.mil.ca/en/support/casualty/casualty-support.page As per the new Treasury Board guidelines on internet content, we cannot post a slide deck on that page, but...

I would absolutely love to see how PSP will ensure they cover all of the Reserve units across Canada. I'm in Ottawa, and it's bad enough - we can't get them out on a Saturday to run a FORCE eval for the unit. We have a couple of Class A members who are trained to run the FORCE eval, but only...

Part of me is hoping he's French, and English is a second language, because his writing is atrocious.... If he's going to be an Officer, he should grow up and stop acting like an overly-entitled brat.

I'm just pondering the apparent foolishness of officially noting that we are not 'at war' with them, but ISIS certainly believe that they are in essence at war with us....well, actually, they are against everything and everyone outside of their little world. It must be terribly draining to find...

Our Leopard Gecko and Red Foot Tortoise are just fine, but the Bearded Dragon stinks.....oh Lord does it stink! Add in a dog, and six aquariums, and we've got our own zoo. And the crickets always find a way to escape, and end up in the basement.

What always amazes me is the absolute BS that so many PS workers get away with..... One cubicle denizen near me kept measuring their desk and arguing that it was too small for a person with their PS classification. This same, and rather unstable person, started yelling one day 'why won't they...

What city are you in? If you are still in the Montreal area, 51 Field Ambulance can be reached at 514-283-8428. Otherwise let me know which city you live in, and I'll see if I can dig up the number or email for the nearest Field Ambulance. As for getting through the process in time for BMQ &...

In theory the annual Credentialing Report submitted by each Health Services unit should help to eliminate this. Even in my Res Fd Amb, every year we submit an annual report wherein we must prove that all of our licensed clinicians are still licensed, and have no action pending against them. As...

Speaking of folks impersonating Doctors - in today's news there is the story of an 18 year old in Florida impersonating a Doctor....'Doctor' Malachi Love-Robinson. http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/florida-teen-impersonates-doctor-1.3452807

I was on the same Roto as Lord Byron. His SM was for the nose thingy. But.....his nose was not partially amputated, it was more split in half - quite nasty still. The convoy did carry on, and he was not evacuated - he insists that he was heroically adamant it carry on with him, others say it...

Lord Byron does indeed have the SM - though as I've noted, it was not due to enemy action, but a kid with a rock..... How he was deemed a candidate for the QDJM with all of his history is beyond me as well..... As soon as the dust settles, he'll be right back at it. In the ~20 years I've been...

Archaeology certainly isn't the preferred degree for HCA - but it is not necessarily a showstopper. BTW - my first degree was History, and I started a second one in Archaeology before doing the MA in War Studies - no link at all to health care.  What is currently happening, is that the preferred...

That's a great question! And I don't have an answer, though one could guess that the 'work' involved served as a deterrence to doing it.

It's a step up from Master Private..... That part didn't bother me - the press always gets our ranks wrong, and Lord B does have an accent that may have led to the reporter not hearing it properly.
