Medics are definitely doing SQ, as we are a "purple trade" and can be posted to any environment. (it is just not a requirement to be QL3 qualified is all. But it is something we do afterwards if we haven't done it before)

I didn't have any trouble in St.Jean for having my hair highlighted, nor did anyone else on my course. (We were just warned not to get any un natural colors like blue or pink though)

Settling into my new home and preparing to start at my first "working" posting. Enjoying my last few days of leave.  ;D Also potty training the new puppy.... now that's a ton of fun.  ::) (It's a good thing she's really cute!)

Webbing is still issued in Borden for QL3 training as well.

Did she lose her homework? LOL

Enjoying X-mas Leave at home with my family, after graduating my QL3's this past Friday. Looking forward to starting work at my new unit in the new year.  ;D

My uncle is there working right now. He's due to come home in a week or so. Thankfully he's been safe so far throughout this ordeal. Thoughts to the families of the wounded/killed.

Packing to head back to Ontario tomorrow! Yippee!  ;D Went to licensing examinations yesterday and it went very well, so I am now a licensed Primary Care Paramedic in BC. (scary thought eh? haha)

Graduated from the paramedic program out in BC today. It's been a long, but interesting 6 months out here. Have licensing exams later this week, and then back to Borden on Sunday. Only a few more weeks until our QL3 grad, being badged and posted.  ;D

Thinking I'd rather have a snowy winter than a rainy one. This west coast rain (vancouver/Richmond) is really not up my alley at all. (especially when your CF issued jacket isn't water proof  :P ) Gearing up for my second last shift on the ambulance tonight. Grad in just over a week! Can't...

I worked Halloween Nightshift and then the 13hr nightshift last night. Tolerance is a very good word to use I suppose... I hope I've seen my share of overly drunk teenagers for a while now.  ::) Oh, sadly no movie watching the past 2 nights. Seems I was busy plugging 6 stab wounds on one poor...

Getting my uniform ready for my shift on the ambulance tonight. Working 1800-0600. Should be an interesting Halloween for me this year! Yesterday I witnessed the circle of life while on the ambulance, one call was a birth, the following call was a death. Quite a day for this student.

We'll see about that! Thanks for that info Celticgirl. I'm definitely going to have to look into this option! Do you find they are easy to apply and work really well? This sounds like an awesome idea if it will save my leather furniture!

Well, it took me a few tries of course. And I think I just had one lucky game. (I suck at pretty much every game...)

Yay, something to keep be occupied for a bit! Just scored 186. 6 strikes in that run. Now if only I could be that good at real bowling!

;D After working on the ambulance for the past few weeks, I've seen some equally funny/stupid situations. My roomie & I are sitting here laughing thinking about what we'd have had to write on our paperwork for this guy. "Chief Complaint: Arm stuck in toilet"  :rofl:  At least he'll make some...

I can't offer all the answers you are looking for but I can tell you that Medic is an NCM trade, not an officer trade. Therefore you do not require a degree and you would not be joining under ROTP if you wanted to be a Medic. If you want to go officer you can look at being a Nurse, doctor, etc...

Just finished 2 night shifts, & 1 day shift on ambulance. I am loooooooving it! I've had so many educational & exciting calls the past few days. I'm really enjoying putting my schooling to work and actually helping people! 11 more ambulance shifts and I'll be all done my PCP program! Very...

Breathing a HUGE sigh of relief after passing my 3 day stretch of written & practical final exams! It's been a long 5 months of course, and it feels damn good to be done. Now I just have to get through 5 weeks of shifts in the hospital and on ambulance to fulfill my practicum. I'm sooooo close...

I'd too love to hear how we go about doing this! The female DEU pants are not even the slightest bit comfortable!
