MAC- Trust me the extra protection on the arms IS necessary, and you won't notice your plates after about a week.  Our Armour system is completely different from the American system, and I am not sure if you can compare the two.  Although, I would be interested in reading it and seeing where it...

MAC- We had a guy on our tour (I won't say which to protect his ID) who was wounded severely in the upper arm/shoulder by shrapnel and was evacuated home.  The Bio-science officer determined that had he been wearing the new Arm Brassard (Supply refused to issue it to him) he would only have had...

Calipher, When I was a Med Tech in Recruiting we saw this all the time.  If you can show 100% with an official note from an Allergist, WITH the test results to back it up.  Then you SHOULD be golden.  If you cannot show 100% proof then unfortunately you are out of luck.  Anaphalaxis shock is...

You can have your restriction removed.  However, you need to prove that you will be at one base for more than 6 months.  You have to write a memo to the career manager through your CoC.  You also need their support.  Talk to your DS staff when you get to your school.  I was in a similar...

mariomike, I did not access the CISM/CISD that was offered through a 3rd party company with a contract from another town  :P.  I felt and feel that I had/have the tools already in my tool box as well as an excellent family support system that I can and have accessed.  Thankfully I was raised by...

mariomike: Before I joined as a Medic I was a 911 Call Taker and Fire Dispatcher.  And I can assure you that working that phone is not easy.  I had 2 OSI's while working in the center.  I don't have PTSD from it, but I saw people who did.  They are the real the 1st responder.  It's their job to...

I don't think it's cheaper, it's just another route into the trade.  More designed to get the guys sitting on the fence who aren't sure about leaving home.  For example when I did my BMQ/QL3 Training I was gone from my spouse for 12 months, the  3's course is now longer so you are looking at...

Ooops, now how did I miss that one, shame  :-\ Thanks

I think what SFB said is bang on.  Another of our motto's is "We Hasten to Aid the Soldier".  We go where they go when they go, usually how they go too.  If a soldier is wounded we will do our best and then some, to get to them, based on our training, the situation, available resources etc... ...

But you did check the box, and the PA would have asked anyways.  Honesty is the best policy at ALL TIMES. I understand you are a freaking out a little about the form.  You are not the only person who cannot get ahold of whoever they saw 10 + yrs ago.  As you are in University, go to the Medical...

As of last week, we are no longer testing Applicants Urine at the CFRC Level, except for those applicants who are going for: Aircrew Trades SAR TECH BioScience  However, that being said, as previously stated you will be given ample oppertunity to provide both Urine and Blood Samples to the...

Once a year the Tech's come around and calibrate/check/verify all of our equipment which has been issued to the Unit.  At our centre we get a new Audiometer every year. 

Ok, so I keep seeing postings asking what the process is, and how do I challange an UNFIT Status.  So here it is: Ok, Here is how the process works, and there is absolutely NO deviating.  Unfortunately the medical process can take some time.  You just have to be patient.                    ...

You can also check with your local Health Unit, they will have a record of your immunizations.  I had the same problem and they just faxed it over to the MIR @ St. Jean no problem.

As disscussed with OldMedic many many moons ago.  Here is the link to the "Table of Visual Acuity Standards".  It can be accessed both on the DWAN and through the Internet.  It is a PDF Document so you will require Adobe PDF Viewer to see it.  Generally for Recuriting we only look at the...

We were in the terminal waiting to board our flight to Pearson when that beast took off.  We were like "I think I can, I think I can...."  Wishing it to fly cause it looked like it was going so slow, then WHAM!!  :o up she went.  Awesome to see, must of been crazy for the boys inside. 

For guys who live way up yonder, do I need to get my snowshoes and igloo making gear issued out??  What about my parka and balaclava?? ??? Just joking,  ;D  I'm originally from Sudbury so I know the weather.  And I agree after reading up on the exercise the AO is going to be huge.  I don't...

That's about how it goes.  Although now we do waist measurement, and calculate the BMI.  Whitey: Turn around depends on a number of factors, and can occasionally take a few weeks.  Keep in mind that no news is good news from the medical world (99.9% of the time)  Give your recruiting centre...

Chapeski, I guess I'm too used to it, that I'm not bothered by it, I lived 20 min north of Sudbury in Hanmer, and that can be quite fun the commute into town.  Although I see your point for anyone new to the area and not used to Northern Roads. Cpl4Life; On the whole enjoy all the snow and...

Welcome to the Great Wide North  ;D, While I'm from Sudbury (Before Enlisting) and not North Bay however, I have been there many times.  If you want cheaper but good prices, head west toward Sturgeon Falls or Markstay/Warren.  Stay out of St. Charles and Noelville, the real estate can be a a...
