Putting the USN pattern and Andrei-made tunics side-by-side it's hard to tell the difference - only ones I noticed are the neck closure (USN uses velcro, vice a metal hook from Andrei), and the chest pockets (USN are angled, vice the Andrei ones are curved, just like the CA DEU tunic). (see...

As you mentioned Public Health/GPM/OEM, thought I'd mention (in case you weren't already aware) you might be able to apply for a CAF-funded MPH and Prev Med or Occ Med residency (just like the other residencies) after your Family Med residency (and your +1 EM, if you do it before you join) and a...

Thanks for the explanation, I see the difference. Yes, sometimes the US Exchanges/Commissaries see my CAC card that says "Foreign Navy" and check to see that Exchange/Commissary privileges are authorised. Yes, it might take a while for the word to get out. For example, here's a ski resort...

US Exchanges/Commissaries seem to be a great part of the overall compensation package of being in the military (and all with just your standard-issue military/dependent ID card - no separate "CF1" card required!). https://www.commissaries.com/press_room/press_release/2012/DeCA_13_12.cfm

Your questions reminds me of a reference from Morton's "A Military History of Canada" (from the Military History OPME): "On February 12, 1947, a bilateral agreement cautiously committed Canada to American weapons, equipment, training methods, and communications. The British pattern, established...

When I would assess a student's MELs I found it helpful when DS would provide some description of what the course entails, eg: Of course we would/should avoid writing vague MELs like "unfit training", so having some idea of what the course entails helps ensure the MELs are specific and gives...

Another reason why some people get confused about the application of the Privacy Act is the belief that it applies only to personal information that government has on the general public - eg details government gets when you apply for services, cross the border, etc - but not federal employees...

Definitely would be more practical. To the system I guess it would depend on how much the cost is for those of us who are using the whites. Say each uniform is $60 (white shirt $20 and the pants $40 - guesstimate based on department store prices; still seems a bargain versus wearing combats...

The NSN is worn out on my kit, but according to A-85-269-001/FP-001 - Food Services Direction & Guidance Manual (publicly available on this Food Services RFP document): Basic Survival Food Packet - consists of starched jelly candies - meets all requirements - NSN 8970-21-852-7278 - Shelf-life...

This CANFORGEN was one of the references on my CDU team's regular visits with units, and helped to reinforce dialogue between Medical (ie the Care Delivery Unit team) and the unit with regards to MELs - "any questions, please call us directly as it's quicker and more useful than sending the mbr...

A film "Royal Canadian Navy during The Second World War" captures all three in service together, side by side (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOHQHF34ORQ) - see 17:05: "No longer could the members of the RCNVR be considered amateur seamen. Reserve officers from every walk of life across the...

Aboard an MCDV there's space on the bridge with weights, elliptical and treadmill; there's also an stationary bike.

From my closet, some photos of the executive curl and medical scarlet distinction stripe in action, compared to the previous:

Resolute, I was in your shoes last year totally clueless about what's ahead so I will try to help with what I've picked up myself over the past year: As you have already done IAP I don't know what other Basic Officer-type training you would be required to do.  (More on that in question 2...

Yes, there's at least one I know; though there's been many civilian intensivists deploying on contract too. Thought the 2009 post-grad training availability might be of interest for anyone thinking about joining MOTP out of med school (as I was), but wondering about specialisation options after...

Would s129 cover that - http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/showdoc/cs/C-46/bo-ga:l_IV//en#anchorbo-ga:l_IV - or is someone making a citizen's arrest, before the police being aware, not yet "lawfully acting in aid" of a police officer?  What if the citizen saw something happening, called the police...

There was an October edition (online, at least), it looked like this: Unfortunately my university account only lets you access after they're 3mo old.  That supplement you mentioned with the guidelines sounds like a good read though, looking forward to it. Speaking of trauma guidelines:  does...

It was sent out by our friendly neighbourhood clerk; I've never actually met the man but he does a good job keeping us in the loop I think.  With the usual "awaiting formal announcement" caveat, of course, but from the other posts it looks like this is old news... sorry for the redundancy. ...

I got this email yesterday (apologies if already posted):

Delayed reply - just received this (albeit 3rd-hand) today:
