If that is the case and you do have a true issue with shaving you can get a permanent category to reflect the shaving issue regardless of what element you are.  I have placed a few pers in my time on restrictions for no shaving that is reflected on their medical docs that don't require renewing...

Sorry MM but according to 4200-54 para 13, the process of 1 year smoke free and reimbursement ended as of 1 Apr 2009.  This is because you no longer require Butt-out exclusivily to get smoking cessation aids.  As long as your part of any form of behavioural counseling you can get the medical...

You are correct that more than likely the military would already know about the medical condition of the patient.  However the military doesn't get cc'd on if a person is or isn't awarded a pension.  Here's how it works. Pte Bloggin's gets injured and treated by the military. Pte Bloggin's...

It actually makes perfect sense in the way we will treat you.  If you are collecting a VAC pension you could be entitled to health services that the military won't cover.  For example massage therapy is covered by VAC but not by the military.  I have referred pt out for this and VAC paid for...

but every base has a different population and  experience. I personally know of 2 suicides in my 24 years in the CF (meaning knowing the individual)s as well as during my 4 year stay at Base Borden, in 2010 Jan to Mar 3 separate suicides (3 different schools, and rank levels).  So Pieman may...

The appropriate dress for you would be your maternity DEU's or equivalent civilians if approval is gained from the chain of command.  You wouldn't be required to have a different shirt, as the normal CF maternity DEU shirt will work.  The last mess dinner that I went to (last summer) the 8...

At the bottom of the first post of this thread is a conversion from the 20/20 to 6/6.  You are more than likely a V2 with your left eye 20/12 =6/6 (actually better than 2020 vision)  Your right eye 20/100 =6/30.  With your good eye then your bad eye compared on the chart this would leave you a...

He stated that he is referred to ENT (Ears, Nose, Throat) specialist not an audiologist.  Totally different.  I'm sure if it was just to an audiologist he would have been in by now.   

I hear your point and although I total agree that you should have your hearing aids just as fast as someone with glasses. There is a huge difference in the fact you have many more opthomologist and optometrist to choose from than ENT specialists.  The military won't give you the hearing aids...

I don't think there is any discrimination at work here.  Its common to refer someone back to the specialist after a period of time has elasped.  This is to ensure that the devices (regardless of what they are for. ie:braces for legs, glasses and hearing aids) are the best for your needs.  As for...
