5.  Another thought - if your trade is closed out for OT, no amount of personal correspondence will change this - it could be that those in your CoC have checked with the Adjt, who has verified with your Career Manager and the BPSO, but you are not being told the whole story. - not the case...

I have made a couple OT's in my career, and the first was from a combat arms unit, which was notorious for the type of foot dragging you are dealing with now. I contacted my PSO, and explained that my memos were being "lost". I was granted an initial interview without a referral. i did a lot of...

It's true you are not pay protected on VOT, but be smart and VOT to a Spec trade, and you will quickly make up for the loss of pay/rank

Slow morning for me, so I'll jump in. I believe Forage Cap refers to the old unigreen, "Forage Green" cap. I think it is actually a peak cap, or maybe peaked? As for the wedge, it needs to be worn at a jaunty angle, to look remotely good. Those who wear it down the middle, aspire to NDHQ, not...

See a recruitor (recruiter?). There is something called a prior learning assessment (PLAR). If you receive equivalency, you're golden.

Hello all. Here is the link to the latest info on how to direct entry to SAR Tech. If you have a medic diploma, read on. If not, then remuster is the way to go. The info for either is here, in french or English: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/199/post-661800.html#msg661800

http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/199/post-661800.html#msg661800 This is the link to where I posted the info on COTP to SAR Tech. Please take the time to check it out, then PM me with any questions. Gully

Hello all. I have been given hot off the press, the newest and freshest Beta on how to become a SAR Tech, either from another trade (COTP) or Direct entry. The info is attached, in both official languages. I am endeavouring to figure out how to link to this post, so I can post a link in the...

The common theme to several threads here is numbers of aircraft purchased. as I said b4, there weren't enough Cormorants bought in the first place. Remember, so Comox can have 5 helos (which equals about 1.75 flyers) Trenton has to fly Griffons. The guys at IMP want our shags to fly. They have...

Another factor being overlooked/ taken for granted is positioning. you need very specific body position to accurately intubate, even with the new fibreoptic scope. I know you can't cric a patient just any old way, but with some of the prefab devices out there, it isn't as restrictive. Even...

my wife quit by using Champix, she preaches it like religion. It is worth funding yourself, and has an excellent success ratio. If you are committed enough to pay for it yourself, it is one more sign you are ready to quit. I think she spent  about $150 on it, got nicorette and patches from the...

If QL 5 are reasonably expected to assist an advanced level caregiver place a tube, then this training would be invaluable. Familiarity with the procedure would allow them to anticipate requirements, ie, test ballons and laryngascope, apply lubricant, "BURP" patient, retract stylet etc. It is...

So a ql5 medic is going to do rapid sequence induction (paralytics and sedatives)?  We've been doing intubation for a while, but it takes 2 days in OR to get 6 intubations, with fewer and fewer being done in hospital all the time, as simpler airways and spinal blocks become more widespread.As...

I am aware of fentynol lollis, but didn't know if Canadian medics were using them. I have also heard of a Ketamine inhalor (think Kazoo). there are tons of great products in the market, I am mostly interested in products already in CFMS, since the time lag in attempting to acquire them for SAR...

hello again. My trade is starting to access some of the new operational medical equipment, but info on what products are currently used in theater is difficult to come by as an airforce operator. Does anyone know how to access ECL for TC3 trauma kits, as well as current medic jumpkit (overseas)...

thanks for the post, touches on another related aspect of prehospital care, permissive hypo tension. There has been lots (as I am sure you are aware doc) new looks at old practices, with permissive hypo tension being one. Saw some interesting stuff written during WW1, confirmed in WW2, then...

There is a topic going on HSD, I am interested in this product as well. As for LMA, we will be using LMA Supreme, which has a port to provide for passing an OG tube. I have questions about its use pre hospital as well, but regardless, I am more interested in getting an Adjunct we could use (my...

Are Raush the "soft red rubber" airway?

Good morning. I am wondering if medics carry NPAs (nasal pharyngeal airways) . If you do, what brand, and are you happy with them. We currently carry OPA, combi tubes and ET Tubes, soon to be augmented/replaced by Laryngeal Mask Airways. However, I think NPA would be more benefitial than any of...
