Well if a Reg force 6A Med tech ISN"T equal to PCP then a reserve certainly won't be.  The only way they get this recognized is to do the training.  I'm a QL 6A reg force Med Tech who took PCP training and that is the only reason I'm qualified PCP.  The other sgts in my unit don't have PCP and...

Remember that this article is on the US military NOT CANADA.  They also screen their personnel differently than we do.  Not to say we are perfect, I can think of more than a few occasions when personel with psych issue were allowed in the military and on deployment.  We do try our best to screen...

http://www.caringbridge.org/cb/inputSiteName.do?method=search&siteName=oursoldiers Just an update on Paul.  The above link is provided by his sister and shows Paul up on his prosthetics walking, with help but he is up and about.  Best of luck Paul.

Ryan, If you are joining the reg and are already qualified PCP you can apply for "time credit towards promotion".  You should do this on enrollment, but can apply after you are joined.  You need to have your info from the college (or where you recieved your training).  This must include: number...

Well I'm a service wife and I'm a soldier.  I have 3 girls, 7, 5, 1 years old.  I had a Sgt tell me not long after my first daughter was born ( I was a Cpl then).  "There will be hard times ahead.  Long periods away but always remember its the quality not the quantity that you spend with your...

You can see if your gaining unit will give you time off to take a local ambulance course.  In Edmonton some of the troops took EMR/EMT a (emergency medical responder/ambulance).  Emr is also advanced first medical responder which is also provided by the military.  If you come to gagetown we...

Paul speedy recovery.  All of us in Gagetown who were in Fd Amb with you send their prayers and well wishes. Kirsten

Condolences to Mr Berry's family.  Hope the wounded recover quickly.  I had the pleasure of working with MCpl Paul Franklin at 1 Fd Amb.  He's a great soldier and medic.  Get well soon. Kirsten

Take this advice seriously.  I have seen fit soldiers be medically released for lieing about thier medical conditions on enrollment.  It falls under the title of irregular enrollment. 

As a person who is posted to Gagetown this news report is the first I heard of this haveing happened.  Having said that I hope who ever was responsible for this said weapon has been charged.  But I have no doubt that it was probably a young officer and they were given a slap on the wrist. 

I was an army cadet in school too.  Was always tease for it, but the ones doing the teasing were the ones who had nothing to do with thier time.  The sports players, the chess club, the ones who had jobs etc, never had time to tease.  Sure they asked questions, but they understood what it was...

Doesn't just have to be Christmas to write on the above link.  Any comments throughout the year are apprieciated, but never more so than during the holidays. Kirsten

8746 1 Plt then posted back to Cornwallis as a medic in 88.  Remember Leo Marsh well.  He is now a firefighter, unsure of where or if still in.  Last saw him in Edmonton back in 96.

It depends on the what she wants to do.  Your have PSAC (public service alliance canada).  If she wants in to the medical aspect with her BA in Psyc then go to the Medical clinic on base and find out who the union is.  Here in Gagetown some of the Mental Health civ pers are PSAC, some belong to...

The MCpl was sorted out very quickly.

Not the case at all.  Every base is doing what they want to do with the reg force 3's.  No QL 3 Med Tech in Gagetown in going on deployment in Afghanistan as things are today.  But the Field Ambulances do what they can to fill the gaps.  I know of many in 1 Field Amb who have gone over seas. ...

Wait out on that as here in Gagetown we are trying to get a new 6A on the course  No one else available to do it and the old 6A are few and far between.

Medics wear any of the 3 element uniforms, but having said that it doesn't mean you'll serve exclusivley with that element.  I have a navy medic who has never in 17 years been on ship.  I wear an army uniform and have been in an airforce unit.  Reality is you can expect to go to the army...

Dive medicine course is offered to the Sgt rank and above  Its very hard to get and I only know of one Dive Medicine Sgt

The troops from 2 RCR were due home in the next 2 weeks.  RIP.
