I gave the MP's at my base a pile of PM's and posts from a fellow on a webforum whom was quite clearly selling restricted items he had pilfered from supply @ CFB Petawawa (he confirmed as such in his pm's to me) back in 2004. Initially my evidence was greeted with enthusiasm and thanks, but then...

Was finally able to meet w/ a case worker whom IPSC referred me to; she towed the line that some here have espoused; I have to make do w/ Ontario Health and wait my turn, even if it means I run out of TCATS before I see a competent professional. As well, when I made it known that the length of...

Ah and there lies the rub, I agree with you completely that they should be on my med docs 100%. However they were "lost" and the imaging tech has been unable to order a new dvd from Ottawa as apparently they are in the process of changing how these sorts of imaging files are managed. Tired of no...

@Nemo888: I've had three MRI's total, so I'm good to go in that regard. I'm attaching a few choice cuts of the imaging to my VAC application for sure. @57chevy: I'm having problems with my cervical discs, not my lumbar.

The only specialists I've been allowed to see have been a Neurologist (sleep disorder specialist wtf?) who told me it was head. And an Orthopedic pain specialist who diagnosed it as cervical facet joint syndrome due to decreased disc height.

Thank You everyone for your helpful comments and advice, I have an appt w/ my MO tomorrow and it's time to put all the chips on the table and get this kicked up to the base chief surgeon.

Obviously I was mistaken when I thought that perhaps by posting here I could get some assistance from my fellow CF brethren,  instead I have people like you tess who think it's funny to taunt and ridicule me, simply because I want to get fixed and back to soldiering. I'm so glad that you think...

@GAP: That's a good question, and a fair one. Unfortunately the treatment is not approved within Canada. I require artificial disc replacement (two levels) surgery to repair my injury. Unfortunately this surgery is not available in Canada as our medical system is not advanced enough, indeed as...

Yes, I actually have x 3 CF-98's fully documented and processed w/ witness statements to boot, and there is no question that my injuries are attributable to service. I'm not seeing any "holes" that you speak of; 1) I went overseas; 2) I got hurt; 3) It was documented and I sought medical help...

I'm hoping that someone here has been in a similar situation before and would be kind enough to share some info to help me out... So here's the deal; I came back from Tour (TF 3-08) with an N/S spine (x2 herniated discs, nerve damage) in APR 09, and have spent the time since then bouncing...

Duracoat is an outstanding product. I've used it before on a few items and it's super easy to work with. I recommend an airbrush and compressor; using the air cans they advertise makes it difficult to get a superfine finish. Here's one piece I did w/ DuraCoat before and after;

Has anyone seen any movement on this issue? I have yet to find anyone who can show me paperwork/policy that states those on TCAT will have their field pay withheld. I didn't mind this at first, but after many month's this is starting to add up to a big chunk of change which could be earning me...

Negative. Next few roto's will get commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS); this is in parallel w/ a new vest design process. That's how it's been explained to me. Unless someone's heard different?

Thank You for the correction, I've been misinformed. What you are describing sounds great and some good feedback should come out of a session like that. I'll pass that news along w/ a wrap on the head to the fellow who gave me that info ;)

There is a "working group" sitting in Ottawa soon to find a replacement (for overseas use) for the tacvest. To the best of my knowledge, there is only one (1) junior NCO and the rest are all SM's and officers. The good news is that they have invited private industry, and are interested in a OTS...

combatbuddha, I was injured on the last roto overseas, will be going to TCAT this August. I've been told by my orderly room that my LDA will be halted, so I guess this has not been figured out yet.

While travelling westbound on the 401 two weeks ago, I spotted a convoy just west of Trenton. Five trucks all bearing "student driver" tags and DND plates, of a type I have not seen at any unit so far; http://www.historiasdelmotor.com/images/2008/06/mercedes-zetros-1.jpg (stock picture of...

Okay this pad system is worth it's weight in gold. Took a tumble off the top of a Bison yesterday on Ex, landing on my head and I was able to walk away.

I've previously bought two of them, and within a week they get forgotten at the back of my locker. It's just easier for me to scribble things down in my mini fmp, stick it in my pocket and go.

I was going to post up about my recently installed Skydex pads from CPgear, but I agree with everything Dog posted. So I'll just throw up a picture of the installed pads.
