Bordermedic... If it makes you feel any better, I work on a navy base surrounded by army medics, navy medics and airforce medics. The only difference I can see is the colour of their nametapes, berets and epaulets.

I think it's new to Canada...but not surprising coming from an American based company. As far as I'm concerned its just an indicator of how different America and Canada's views are on the meaning of November 11th. Distasteful? Yes, but I think it was simply poorly thought out on Eddie Bauer's...

http://www.cmp-cpm.forces.gc.ca/dgcb-dgras/ps/pay-sol/pr-sol/rfor-ofr-eng.asp For CF Reg force pay scale Once commissioned you will start at $4006/month. Not sure what you will get while at basic.

RN or MD? I worked with a trauma doc a couple years ago who was doing the same(ish) thing. Oz to Canada. I may be able to find a name if it would help.

A word of caution to all following this advice...I've looked in all the "regular" suit shops (tiptop, moores...) and have had no luck finding a non clip on bowtie. I am sure they are available, but not on a "day before the mess dinner night" type of thing. If you are going to do it right and...

Its pretty much impossible to give an opinion on an internet post regarding a "bad back". There are just so many different types of back problems (not all of which are "injuries"). See your doctor, find out why you are having problems and go from there. If it is a long term unresolvable issue...

My point was aimed at your statement implying that losing function (acutely) in one kidney isn't a problem as long as you have a second. That's all.

Again...are you a doctor? Do you have any basis for this statement? Just go talk to the medical people at the recruiting centre.

If soothing music helps you sleep and stops you from tossing and turning it sounds like you have more of a sleep pattern problem as opposed to insomnia. True insomniacs (as I'm sure Vern can tell you) can't seem to fall asleep no matter what. What this all boils down to is its all about...

The personel has worked well for me aswell.. Believe me its not worth it to be pulled over by the MPs in St Jean with expired insurance (and plates). Trust me on this one.

Did the Toronto to Halifax route (via Ottawa) and was impressed. $99 + tax, got a free sandwich and beer (a TALL can of Steamwhistle no less!!). Staff were nice, seats were comfy, we left on time and arrived early.

Antoine...who did you choose to go with? I had my eyes done in Vancouver this past year and did extensive research before selecting a surgeon. Interestingly, my surgeon ended up having a hit put on him by his partner...at least he'll see it coming. Apparently Pacific Laser is the best in the...

Really? A straight razor? Isn't there a restriction on the length of blade you are allowed to have at St. Jean? I know its not a "knife" but just a thought.... Really? A straight razor?

Nursing is considered a "purple" trade meaning an army nurse can just as easily be posted to a naval base as an army one. That being said, the CF has a specific number of positions for Nursing officers in each of the elements and if one is full you may have to go in another. (I asked for air and...

Hey Patrick, welcome aboard. Its really hard to sum up everything that you'll be experiencing over the next few months in just one post but I can guarantee you it will be different then any 9-5 you have ever worked. I suggest you use the search function to browse around the site as there are...

Many of the Asians in Vancouver are third and fourth generation Canadians...having a longer lineage in this country then many white folks.

Anny, How old are your kids? How many?     First, there is nothing wrong with feeling overwhelmed, upset or tired. In fact, I would expect it from a temporarily single parent working a full time job and trying to balance life and kids and their own health issues. Its hard...damn hard and any...

Its interesting that when I first came across this situation the comments in the office were all blaming the OR for not playing the game. It seems however that the OR is doing their job and the supervisor may need to step up the game a bit. We are often so quick to judge without seeing all the...

The OR refuses leave passes that state CTO...apparently if it doesn't appear in the drop down box on the pdf it doesn't exist.

Cheers.At the mercy of the OR is right...its only one day after all. Lesson learned. RT RT
