    Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

    Jarnhamar - even with Lord (MCpl) Byron, he would have a hard time claiming OSI/PTSD for wearing of extra bling.  As I mentioned, he's been doing these things since the mid 1990's - well before he ever deployed.....

    Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

    I can state with certainty that MCpl (Ret'd) Rodriguez: a.  Does not have jump wings, at all; b.  Never deployed to Cyprus as part of the UN mission; c.  Did not do 'three tours' in Afghanistan - he did two, and was returned home early from his second tour for 'issues'. This might explain why...

    MP Response to fire - Split from First infantry regular force female LCol.

    Quick question - where is the balance between enabling an MP to conduct an investigation without interference versus the need to protect OPSEC? For example, if an MP asked/demanded entrance into an area where Secret (or higher) material, crypto, comms eqpt, etc was currently in use, can the OC...

    What's the Dumbest Thing You've SEEN Today?

    Another Special Snowflake..... I hope she doesn't get parasites. When she gets older, will she be a crazy cat lady, or a crazy human lady?

    Need advice

    Andrew - I cannot stress enough the need to get the proper care as soon as you can. First off, I'll tell you a bit about my background, so you know I speak from experience. After a deployment (08/09), I was diagnosed with moderate to severe PTSD with dissociation, Major Depressive Disorder...

    Roman Sword found in Nova Scotia questions history of Americas

    The analysis actually shows that the sword cannot have been made before the 1880's, so it could be quite recent. Interesting read on her methodology.

    Base closures?

    Is there not a standing requirement that x% (25?) of all Federal infrastructure in the NCR must be on the Quebec side? I've heard this cited many times as to why certain orgs will be left in Gatineau after others consolidate in the Carling Campus.

    Recovery from hip surgery - improvising a bungalow

    From the OT reports I have read, they use a template to get to know the client, and their degree of mobility, etc. Then, they assess their abiltiy to conduct basic activities like cook, use the toilet, bathe themselves, etc - some of the reports have a series of checklists they cover in creating...

    Recovery from hip surgery - improvising a bungalow

    Without knowing what Province we're talking about, my generic advice would be to get hold of the services of an Occupational Therapist (OT). They can do an in-home assessment to determine what is required to allow your Aunt to conduct 'activities of daily living' and 'independent activities of...

    Pentagon to Overhaul How it Recognizes Heroism - Jan 16 Report

    My personal suspicion, is that the 'burden of proof' has become ridiculously high for a Cdn VC. Unless you lose both legs, and then take out an enemy position, while a CBC news team is filming it from at least three angles, it will not happen. And, we don't want our government to be publically...

    PTSD / OSI [Merged]

    They will no longer change release categories. The best they can do, is add 'annotated disabled' to the original release category.

    Arrest in Melissa Richmond murder

    I was the Attending Officer at the trial, and was present for just over six of the eight weeks. I was there to see the verdict delivered. After hearing so much of the evidence, and watching the behavior of Mr Richmond on the stand and in the box for so long, I am in absolute agreement with the...

    What can you do to SUPPORT the forces if you can't join (bad medical history)

    Depending on where you live, most of the major bases will have a Military Family Resource Centre that runs many programs, and often relies on volunteers to help. The Royal Canadian Legion also accepts members with no service, but who wish to join. They run a myriad of programs that support the...

    Benzodiazepines for PTSD Treatment

    Unless you have the initials MD beside your name, it is highly irresponsible to make this post.  Any CAF member concerned about their medications should discuss this issue with the Physician.

    guide me in the right direction

    Michael - ArmyDoc is correct - if you are still serving, then report to the nearest clinic for assessment and help.  If you've released, or a Class A Reservists who doesn't live near a CAF clinic, then I would suggest seeing a Family Physician.  You can also contact the nearest IPSC for...

    Annual Naming of Silver Cross Mother (merged)

    I cannot even begin to understand how difficult this will be for Mrs Anderson. My sincere and heartfelt thanks that she has volunteered to be the Silver Cross Mother.  I can only hope she feels the support of a grateful nation.

    75 countries back France's drive for reform limiting use of UN Veto

    Poor choice of wording on my part - you are correct that by protocol, this initiative cannot be imposed upon the permanent members of the security Council in any binding form. However one must wonder for how long that will even stand? The rationale for the legacy right of those five nations to...

    75 countries back France's drive for reform limiting use of UN Veto

    Until this is addressed, the UN will never be able to truly achieve its mandate.  The question is, what will happen if the reform is enacted? What will Russia do, if suddenly it faces censure and sanctions for its actions in the Crimea? The US is also no Altar Boy either, and has propped up one...
