Understood. Perhaps a spare flag and blank nametape wouldn't go amiss. Although I suppose the general public probably doesn't notice the empty velcro.

We all know what they are for, the photographer knows what they are for...its potentially an important part of the press should the unthinkable happen. Why are pictures being released with soldiers lacking nametapes and shoulder flags? You'd think somebody would pick up on this and correct the...

Jamie, If you do decide to join your only logical option would be as a doc. It just makes sense, both financially and time wise. It can be a very rewarding job both as an MD and an orthopod, especially considering the work we are doing right now. You can make time for flying as a hobby.

Just because you moved out at 18 doesn't make it right or the only thing to do. Different families, different times. There's nothing wrong with an 18 year old living at home. If anything, its probably the most financially responsible thing to do in today's market. Stop with the grief...

Maybe in the past but I can assure you that no doctor in today's health care system is going to put your urine, or any other bodily fluid into his or her mouth. Its quicker and more accurate to use the dipsticks. Apparently (according to Science World) alligator dung used to be used as an...

Correct me if I'm wrong... doesn't PMed come in annually to check the audiogram machine to ensure its accuracy? All the machines that I have seen look about 20 years old, I'm sure they require service/zeroing at regular intervals.

Dangerboy has the right advice. Speak to your doc at the MIR. One high blood pressure doesn't mean much. Stress, illness, previous exercise can all affect your BP. The concern comes from trends. In my experience the MIR will ask for 3 or 4 days worth of consecutive BPs (same time of day) to...

The Fifth Estate had a special "Life and Death in Kandahar" about the Role 3 Hospital last year...it was pretty good. Apparently there is a documentary in postpreduction now called "At War" about Afghanistan with footage from 1PPCLI. There was recently a news piece on it (CBC maybe?) where it...

Who are you and what have you done with George?

Thanks WestCoaster.... Thanks OldMedic for moving to appropriate forum...

Is anybody able to give a street address or directions to the Naden Dental Clinic (apparently in the hospital?) Got an appointment and realize I've got no idea where the place is. Cheers.

The answer is no and no...although apparently some bulking up supplements can cause your urine to contain proteins...which is tested for. See how simple that was? Jeez, you'd think the guy asked about top secret documents.

I spoke with Dr. Lin in Vancouver about the flap dislodgement issue as I've been thinking about surgery for a while. He stated that during his practice (and he is one of the pioneers of Laser eye surgery in North America so its a long practice) he has never actually seen a flap dislodge. He has...

I agree that its a valid question but there must be someway of sorting this out besides telling the op he's SOL. Poop happens...I don't have a landline and I'd probably be up the creek for a little while if I broke my phone too. Couple suggestions...don't know how well they'd go over but... 1...

You can't claim tuition (T2202a) because you didn't pay for your schooling, the crown did. No "student" tax break.

Possibly a silly question but... If one is posted to a unit that is a detachment of a field unit...does that count as being posted to a field unit? Just curious is all.

The gloves are called "SI Assult Gloves" on oakleyforces.ca - $55

Tristan... you pay back 1.5 years for every year the military pays your schooling to a total of 5 years (for most trades including nursing) As a nurse, once you graduate (and finish basic) you start at about 55,000 / year, as an Lt. As a med tech you start at about 31 000 as a Private but the...

Your blood pressure and pulse are taken before the test to ensure you are fit to proceed... http://www.defence.gov.au/ARMY/artc/fitness.html#richmedia has an mp3 of the beeptest (Aussie but similar) go mark out a 20m course for yourself and give it a whirl.
