That depends. A basic urinalysis is done for every recruit applicant medical. If you are over 40, you will be given a letter to take to your doctor for bloodwork ( lipid profile ) and for an ECG. Certain occupations ( such as pilot) also require bloodwork and other medical procedures - which...

Served with 1RCR Duke's coy from 82 to 78, then LOTped to med a.

::)  Weeeeell,... don't that just figure.....  I retired after 24+years as a medic out of Gagetown in 06. I was always a strong V3; almost a V4. ( Doing some reserves class A now in Quebec). I've been trying saving up the 5 grand or more that it"ll probably cost me once we head back to NB after...

Bruce, I couldn't agree more. When do we start taking responsibility for ourselves again? Kids can (in some places) no longer swim at the 'ol swimming hole' or play ball in 'the vacant lot'. Municipaliites, cities, small towns,  are posting 'KEEP OUT' or fencing  places for fear of getting sued...

Hey Troops; Happy new year! I've been asked if I wanted to do a general military  training instructor course in St-Jean. Sounds very interesting and I (use) to like instructing. What concerns me is I'm just shy of 45: I joined the reg force as an RCR in 1982. Spent 6 years before LOTPing to...

Ahhhh, but 'they't call it 'global warming' anymore...now it's 'climate change'... ::)

Wow; hit me like a ton of bricks. I knew Mr Mossop as 2RCR RSM when I was there; my wife worked at  LFATC when he CFR'ed RIP Sir; Pro Patria  :salute:

True, but in a way, it's sad though to see it go....then again, I thought it might be sad to see the Beachcombers go, until probably if I had to see it on reruns every freakin' time I flicked through the with the remote  ;D But then again, as Ron James said tonight, to those who been there...

I'm no GW Bush fan, but in a 'few' ( 10, 20, 30 etc, how many,  who knows) history may look on GW differently; especially after 911. As for Barak, well just my own opinion, if the times were different, ie semi-peaceful, he would be an exceptional president to lead the most powerful country. But...

Same here, meme chose, Happy new year, Bonne annee - gros nez from an x-pat newf here on the lower north shore of Quebec in Sept-Iles. Don't ask me if I can parlez-vous. Been here for 2 years, wife is Franco (married x 15 years), kids are bilingual, and I still can't parlez-vous with the...

Hi Rick, I drove (on & off) for about 4 years: 13A, 13, then 19. 'Papa Smurf' (Sgt Al L.) was one of my avgp instructors in Ipperwash. He was also Duke's Coy tpt NCO. Good memories (now  ;) )

Hi Wes, nice rack Bud. Is that the CD there too? i know you told me one time you served in here (Canada). PS Merry Christmas my friend, from the frozen north. Your home country is having snow from coast to coast for the first time since 1971. less than 1% of the country is without snow this...

This goes back a ways; we had a few troops (and good friends) from Quebec in Duke's Coy 1RCR back in the early 80's. Their english was pretty good though. I just came back from Bagotville a little over week ago doing my over 40 med. Talking to a few folks there I knew from NB; there's a good few...

Amazing!  No words can express the admiration for this Soldior. BZ!!  :salute:  :cdn:  :salute:

Uh yes I did point that out, we train for war, we train for many things, we train based upon our current doctrine, and we adapt if that doctrine changes. As I stated previously, if that is the will of a nation then so be it - we act upon the will of our nation.   Uh, yes, I see that you...

Isee a fine RSM in the future!  :)
