I understand what you are trying to say but.... Even with a BMI of 32 and some spare around the waist, I have yet to meet a power lifter that I can't out run or out ruck.  Not to mention, those types do not do well on selections in the CF. personally, I find people like that do it to look good...

I read the actual study. There is link between mental illness (which alcohol abuse classified as) and suicide. And that should be no surprise to anyone.

RoyalDrew, I agree with what you say, except for this: Shooting over people's heads will not prepare them mentally for the smells and sights of blood, guts and burnt flesh. More realistic training with video simshot technology, and including sound and smell would be years ahead of the...

Personnel posted to JPSU are not just soldiers who are injured in Afghanistan, it is also a location for people to be placed in situations where they need long term rehab, or have been diagnosed with conditions where working in thier normal occupation is difficult, and/or impeding thier...

I am interested in this case due to some media outlets reporting that the accused has PTSD. Given my background, I know that certain mental illness are likely to begin at certain ages. It may be a coincidence than the accused may have been diagnosed with a mental illness shortly upon his return...

The new fitness standard, and how it relates to PER is sufficent for the requirements of the CAF. If the force generating formations or the occupations themselves, feel they require a more stringent standard then they should feel free to implement them. If troops do not wish to maintain a...

North Americans, at large :D , are significantly heavier than the world average. BMI when applied properly is a very accurate tool in determining current health status and inferring future health status. If you remember  that a BMI of 30=obese is a WHO standard, you will quickly realize that...

The findings of the studies that caused this withdrawal will affect our use of Voluven. http://www.scotsman.com/news/health/trauma-patient-drug-withdrawn-from-uk-1-2985122

It is fair to let women attempt the selection program. Equality in the opportunity to succeed is the benchmark we as a society should maintain. Kudos to the USMC for maintaining their standards, and not bowing to social forces.

For TCat, there is no "wait for DMedPol". Once your primary health care provider provides with you printout chit stating you are fit full duties, you are fit without restriction, and heathy enough to your job.

1 in 10 Canadian suffer from some sort of mental illness in their lifetimes. The stress of deployments hastens the onset. This has been theorized for several years. The only difference between now and before is that it is socially acceptable for this topic to be discussed.

I laught at the thought of Garrison Petawawa being on "lock down" (What, are we school children now?). Everyone was sent home after lunch. The place was pretty much empty already, with everyone looking forward for any excuse to leave early. Pity the entire MP det was called in to work today...

You're joking, right? New....not so much. NVG mounts circa 1995.

Sounds like good work for our special forces Med Techs after the CF.

My brother's in Outlook, have to tell him to take a look.

I am completely disgusted by comments on CBC, the G&M and to a lesser degree, the National Post. Half think Calgary deserve it, and only slightly less blame the flooding on PM Harper and/or "tar sands" caused climate change. Are Canadians really that retarded. Rhetorical, because I know some are.

All I know is that QL 5 AEC tng is done in Moncton.

You all beat me to my point. Five fingers are not made to run half/full marathons (at least not without significant training). You need, and got, some minimalist shoes that provide a small degree of cushioning. Good luck with your run.

Lying about the provincial economy and fear mongering about what the opposition will do if elected seemed to work for the Liberals in Ont too.
