If you are asking about the Enrolment Medical Screening that is part of the new (1 Apr 17) Expedited Reserve Enrolment (ERE) process it is straightforward. There are two parts: 1. A medical history questionnaire 2. A medical screening that will assess your Vision, Colour Vision, Hearing...

Duty With Honour - The Profession of Arms in Canada In the Canadian Forces, all non-commissioned members (NCMs), especially senior non-commissioned officers (Sr NCOs), warrant officers (WOs), petty officers and chief petty officers (POs and CPOs), share leadership responsibilities and are...

It doesn't matter if your civvy urologist is a Chief Resident (which means resident nearing the end of training). Has he ever been instructed/familiarized with the CF generic task statements? Military physicians are expected to be able to apply the principles of the CF employment IAW the generic...

Please don't assume that the Res F Med Tech is just someone who wants to play EMT on the weekens with the military. Many Res F medical personnel are clinicians in their civilian jobs with plenty of clinical experience - some even have more day to day exposure than their Reg F counterparts in...

Have you talked to a potential Res F unit yet?  Or CFRC?  I suspect your chances are not good. If your release medical category was less then the common enrollment medical standard (V4 CV3 H2 G2 O2 A5) for your 3(b) release and nothing has changed medically, it is unlikely that you are eligible...

Oh AM, you are so old-school with the eat a sensible well-balance diet advice.  :rofl:

Passing a kidney stone is not as simple as being "whisked off to the MIR". The pain can be debilitating and the member will more likely be whisked off to the local ER with possible hosptial admission to manage pain and other complications. A stone with obstruction can lead to serious...

Health Services provides/arranges for appropriate care for serving members, reviews the condition of the soldier in comparison to the CF generic task statement and based on that assigns a medical category and medical employment limitations. It is not the Health Services job to decide how or if a...

Army, Air Force, Navy, Comms, and Health Services each have a DIN site with full-time reserve opportunities. There are a few spots on the www where you can see some jobs: http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/lfwa/res_emp.htm Land Force Western Area...

A little pain control? Guess again. And it is a big deal on deployment. Case in point would be a soldier in Afghanistan who suffered a bout of renal cholic (aka kidney stones) who took up an in-patient bed - because, no we can't "give a little pain control" and send them back to work - for 4...

The mechanism for enrolling landed immigrants already exists. The CF just needs to make it a bit easier to use the existing regulation and less "exceptional" and the media should stop publicizing that only citizens can join. Now, if the Govt wants to fast track citizenship, that's a different...

Since a 5(d) release counts as "honourably released" under QR&O 15.01, you could just put your service on your resume and instead of "fired' write "honourably released" and if the question comes up about why you service was short, just tell them. I put a link to release items in the other thread...

You could always try reading QR&O Chap 15 on the DND website. It answers your question. But in brief release items: Item 1: Misconduct Item 2: Unsatisfcatory Service Item 3: Medical Item 4: Voluntary Item 5: Service Complete. You are considered as "Service Completed: Not Advantageously...

Just thought I might point out (and don't get me wrong, I am just as dismayed with the decimation of the CF as the rest of you, I joined way back when too), but the effects we are feeling today from the FRP can't be laid all at the Liberal's feet. Remember the Rt Hon Brian Mulroney who managed...

;D Ha Ha Ha,  Oh, wow, that Gen Hillier has such a downhome sense of humour doesn't he? Ten days! That's a good one. They are going to have streamline the process in a HUGE way to make that happen. CT's seem to be just as lengthy (sometimes longer) than an off the street recruit. Who hasn't...

Free? Unpaid? Did your Cl B pay cheque stop while you were training with your home unit? Members on Cl B who choose to continue parading with their home unit do so of their own choice (I did too when on Cl B). I never considered it "free or unpaid" since I was getting paid 7 days a week. I...

The F450 amb was purchased for the Fd Hosp, but some have also been distributed out to Fd Ambs. There was a vehcile survey that came out from Ottawa (last fall?) that was asking about the wants/needs for a COTS to replace LSVW (not just ambs) like the Milverado's replaced the Iltis. Nothing more...

The only CFB's are in Canada these days, but as said there are overseas and US postings. CFSU(E) isn't a CFB, but a support establishment taking care of Cdns posted all over the place. FYI HL, there is an aeromedical evac nurse exchange posting in the US as well as a couple of positions in...

Wow, in one thread there is someone questioning whether a "TAV"  should be allowed to wear a medal and now someone wanting to turn his in because he feels guilty wearing it because of the capacity of his CF service. It boggles my mind.

Notwithstanding the Ombudsman's investigation, the Res F entitlement to care matter is under review by the CF because of the increasing use of Res F members on ops and the entitlement to care policies that were written for a time when that wasn't the case.
