    Dental Officer Training Program DOTP

    This, straight off the recruiting website: "If you have been accepted by the faculty of dentistry at an accredited Canadian university, you are eligible for the Dental Officer Training Plan (DOTP)" http://www.forces.ca/en/job/dentalofficer-45#info-1

    Medical clamp inspired by hair clip quickly stems flood of blood

    Video available here : http://www.innovativetraumacare.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46&Itemid=53 I'm unconvinced that this has any advantage over the CAT that is currently being used. With the dustoff response times being (generally) very quick, there is little risk in...

    Stethoscopes - Suggestions and opinions please.

    Agreed, however anyone who has owned a stethoscope knows they have a tendency to grow legs and disappear. Besides, getting a Cardiology III as your first scope is like buying an Acura (Lexus...whatever) as your first car. Get a Classic IISE. Its more than enough for what you need for the next...

    Budget 2012

    A cursory look through the treasury board website shows the government (as of 2005, the page was archived) paying 78% of the pension while the members pay 22%.

    Budget 2012

    The CBC tag line right now states that the CF (and other federal areas) will "pay more and get less" with respect to pensions. I looked at the budget (albeit briefly) to try and gain more info but no luck. Any ideas what this will mean for the average soldier?

    SAR Response Under the Gun Again

    I would suspect the CBC interviewed a number of CF members...both current and retired. Of course if what they had to say doesn't coincide with the message the CBC wanted to portray, it gets left on the cutting room floor. I too am getting pretty sick of the CBC and their constant anti-CF...

    SAR Response Under the Gun Again

    I would expect nothing less of the CBC. Today's top story will get that ball rolling. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/story/2012/03/22/nl-fifth-winters1-322.html

    The "Nursing Officer" Merged Thread

    1) Possibly yes...but speaking to a recruiter would yield a more accurate answer. There are obvious cost savings to the CF if you aren't put through ROTP. 2)Op tempo has been high for NOs just like it has been for most other trades in the past number of years. Many, many NOs have deployed. A...

    Re-enlisting after cancer remission

    I don't think your question is odd at all...but it is one best directed at your local recruiting centre and not at random, anonymous individuals on an internet forum. No one here can give you a concrete answer (or even a firm speculation) beyond, "I don't know...maybe?" I admire your drive to...

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    The BOR may not give out info...but rates are accessible online for landlords or roomates willing to do the work. RT

    receptionist at base CDU's

    Triage nurses are also usually the most experienced and well rounded RNs in the emergency room. The job requires the unenviable skill of separating the true emergencies from the BS that so often walks in. If you screw up, people die...in the waiting room....which is never a good thing. There is...

    Combat Hospital (ABC and Global) Premiere June 21st

    After seeing the second preview all I want is a 3 second cameo by Samuel L Jackson yelling "I've had it with these mother#!@#%* snakes in this mother@)$(#@! hospital!"

    What knife would you recommend?

    I know, I know...necrothread. Just had this brought to my attention today...one simple question.... What the hell is this thing all about? http://www.waspknife.com/about.php "This weapon injects a freezing cold ball of compressed gas, approximately the size of a basketball, at 800psi nearly...

    I do not care for dogs, but I Love my Kid.

    First off...it is a nice looking dog... I'm going to assume you've done your homework on Boxers but points to be stressed include... 1) They are ACTIVE dogs. Shorts walks to the poop spot down at the park aren't going to cut it. If you don't tire her out with plenty of exercise she'll...

    Reservist probed for 'racist activity' as police prepare for white pride rally

    Perhaps oddly, I find it encouraging that the article made the news. If the subject was Joe Blow, a fast food chain employee, there would be no story. The only reason this even made print is that this young man has presented himself as both a CF member and (perhaps) a racist...an obvious...

    The Blood Pressure Superthread

    A BP that low would give a MAP of only 54...technically not high enough to properly perfuse the vital organs... You may not be dead but you most likely wouldn't be functioning that well. I'd agree with the others, the machine was most likely faulty. Get it checked properly by a GP.

    Plaque making...

    I would think brass (especially solid brass) nails would be much to soft to hammer into walnut....or oak. You'd run the risk of the nail snapping off flush with the wood surface leaving you pretty much screwed.

    Eddie Bauer Rememberance Day Sale - enraging bad taste or so-what?

    The Willow park Wine and Spirit stores in Calgary also have a Remembrance Day sale...bottles of wine $1-$8, although they are quick to point out that they offer a minute of silence at 1100 to "Remember our Veterans". I've seen facebook pictures of this year's event...over 200 people lined up...
