Dangerboy, where do you find this stuff?  I'm a movie buff and have never even heard of "Guns at Batasi"!

You cut me deep, Shrek, you cut me real deep just now! 

Good link, thank you.

Your question has been answered.  You don't like the answer. Reapply if you wish, but please, stop asking the same question.

RP, thank you for the clarification. I understand the point you are making about Canadians generally poor understanding of military service and the unique demands it places on its members. You also make a good point about patients' reluctance to disclose.

Wow. Talk about a generalization. I would argue that you're wrong, since family physicians provide the majority of primary mental health care in Canada.  Most communities do not have the depth or breadth of mental health resources that we have in the CAF, so most FPs have to manage the common...

Well, the solution then is simple - don't get promoted. Otherwise, upon promotion get your tailor to remove your current rank stripes and replace with pips and crowns, since you'd need to get new rank anyways.

Why don't you first  focus on doing your best to ensure successful completion of your BOMQ and then your trades training. If you don't complete those you won't have any diving career.  Do a search about Cl Diver. FWIW, you might wish to consider changing your username until you've actually...

You will spend no time at sea, unless you are fortunate to get an exchange with the Comfort or Mercy. I don't know about CAP, hopefully somebody else can chime in on that topic.

Lead has been replaced by steel, bismuth and other alloys for water fowling. Copper itself is a toxic metal (which is why hulls of wooden ships were sheeted in Cu below the waterline).

The portable DVD player has likely been replaced - or should be - by an iPad Air that plays digital downloads, music, etc. A nice waterproof divers watch is always appreciated (see St Moritz watches at Mountain Equip Co-op).

"They're ivory! Only a pimp from a cheap New Orleans whore house would carry a pearl-handled revolver."

It's a movie about a training venue to prepare soldiers for war, starring Colin Farrell IIRC. 

When you say you are a soon-to-be professional, what do you mean?  In answer to your question, yes,  primary care practitioners who deal with mental health on a regular basis are trained within their respective scopes of practice e.g. Medical Officers, Nursing Officers, Physician Assistant...

Tony Clement of the Treasury Board has proposed "modernizing" Public Service pensions to align them with the private sector. By this he means changing from the current Defined Benefits plan to a Defined Contribution pension. If this were to be imposed upon the PS, then I suspect the CAF would...

Since the goal is "more tooth, less tail" it is unlikely to be any combat arms units. Not sure how you cut 5k+ positions and re-allocate another 5K to new capabilities (Chinook, cyber, int) etc without completely gutting capabilities.  Pointy end bayonets are not the rate-limiting step in...
