The comparison is also off when you consider a UK Cpl does the work of a Canadian/US Sgt (section commander/squad leader), whilst a Canadian Cpl is literally a time served rubber stamp.

Je suis un tete carre stupide.... ...that is how you say 'One Joe Louis and a Pepsi please', right?

Exactly my point. you have to apply for VIP in order to get the better coverage (A&B), therefore VAC can easily keep costs down by denying VIP coverage, because nowhere is it equivocally stated which injuries rate VIP and which don't, it's seemingly arbitrarily decided by some staffer in VAC. I...

So riddle me this - how then does an non-sda/sdo injury rate for VIP/A&B client status?

To add to the confusion: Dear Mr *****: Thank you for using My VAC Account and our secure email services. Your A coverage refers to health care benefits that directly relate to your pensioned condition. B coverage could be associated to the approval of VIP when the need is linked to a...

The question remains as to who/what decides who gets A&B, and what reasoning there is behind it? No doubt it either involves a dartboard or a witches cauldron  brimming with newts tongues.

Hello all, I've already fired off a secure message to VAC to try and shed some light on this, but recently a coworker and I (both veterans) were chatting about VAC and the treatment benefits post-release. The client card came up, which I had never really thought about or bothered looking into...

I have to ask, why are you concerned about 3 or more +5km runs a week? How far are you running now? As a baseline, if you can run (run all the way, not just shuffle/walk) 10km in under 1hr you should be ok.

During my last sojourn in the desert, our location was being hit multiple times daily from the same direction. I made the suggestion to the platoon commander one night that rather than have a cumbersome clearance patrol mounted at the end of the tic, fully dressed etc etc, why not have 6-8 of...

I'll be that guy....maybe this isn't the job for you.

That has changed, 'in extremis', they can be used, but you'd better be able to show why it was a last resort option.

Is this the same airframe languishing on the pad by 427?

My thoughts exactly. Chances are though the results of the investigation won't enter the public domain unless a specific FOI request is made.

$755,900 and she's all yours. Executive bungalow on waterfront (tailings pond)

Funny enough I had a similar situation overseas..... a quick word with the FAC= 'the guys at front (me) are amazed at the NOE flying abilities of our supporting gunships but can they please f@#$ off from flying directly overhead cause I cannot hear my mine detector as I search this route for...

Buyer of the most expensive carton of 'Pines' in the history of OEF?

At the risk of splitting this thread into it's own entity, I will add that it also seems, within the last 10 years, that there are more people looking for problems when there isn't any. People have been almost been led to believe that you WILL suffer PTSD from a traumatic event, not that you...

Fair points RG, but I will say this. I know people who ARE suffering in silence, not because of those doubters, but because they see people who cannot possibly fit the criteria, as laid down in DSM 5 - http://www.dsm5.org/Documents/PTSD%20Fact%20Sheet.pdf who are subsequently awarded nice VAC...

recceguy - I'm in no way casting dispersions on anyones specific medical diagnoses, nor am I claiming any medical experience and ability to judge, via the internet, the veracity of anyones claim. HOWEVER. Is it such an emotive issue that ANY discussion of the possibility that some...

I'll be a bit more constructive.... Stand at the left hand side of the grill...flip egg with left hand, right eye dominance will ensure egg stays in centre of grill. You're welcome.
