    Have you talked to the Recruiters for 35 Field Ambulance?

    New CADPAT...what's causing the availability delay?

    I'll reach CRA 60 before I ever see these... And I cannot wait to see what a sh*tshow it will be with all the mixed gear - old style helmet covers, rucksacks, tacvests. I still have the OD parka and overalls because I couldn't get CADPAT gear.

    21 year vet medical release

    Jarnhamar has given some great information. On top of that I would strongly advise you to go to the nearest Transition Centre and ask for an appointment with a Services Coordinator. They can tell you all of the various benefits and services that you may be eligible for, and they can also inform...

    Venezuela - Possibility of Invasion of Guyana

    Could Russia be pushing an old friend to start something on our side of the Atlantic to distract America?

    US Army Recruiting Ribbon

    'Bring a Buddy Night' used to be a very successful attraction event in the 90s. We would have simulated casualties, Ambs moving, a UMS setup, and then beer and pizza in the Mess. We got a lot of recruits through that initiative. Not sure if it would work now.

    OMAR BRADLEY: THE CONSUMMATE SERVANT LEADER

    Bradley was also a great enabler for Eisenhower. Through his ability to bring about consensus and support, he was able to help Eisenhower's vision translate into successful operations. And yes, Karl Malden... still an enjoyable movie to watch

    Allowances - Post Living Differential (PLD) [MERGED]

    The Four Yorkshiremen enter the chat! Come to think of it.... that is a perfect analogy for mess conversations with a group of Senior Officers or Chiefs.

    Medical release vs retention?

    A Period of Retention (PoR) is only possible if you meet several conditions. First off, you must be employable within your Medical Employment Limitations (MEL). Typically, if you can work a standard 40 hour week in an office setting without breaching your MELs it opens the door to consider a...

    Hospital ship for Canada

    So, essentially the same capacity as the plywood R3MMU in Kandahar. Only useful if you're not expecting more than a handful of casualties at any given time.

    medical history

    It seems as if you are minimizing a very serious issue. None of what you are saying addresses the fact that you clearly indicated you were found NCR for an offence, and that you were 'liberated by the RBMD' after three years. As I mentioned earlier, NCR is very rarely successful as a defence...

    A Hunting Thread- A Swerve from The Global Warming Thread

    I've gone out twice for a deer hunt, and never shot anything - even though one walked right in front of me. It just wasn't really my cup of tea. However, I've had no trouble with fishing for barracuda and marlin in Jamaica. Maybe I have a subconscious hierarchy, and I see mammals as above fish...

    PRes - Promotion to Maj without AOC qual

    Are enough course serials offered each year to ensure this is a viable COA? For example, we don't use JCSP for HS Res, as there are only about two positions a year allocated to us. If it were a hard requirement, succession would grind to a halt.

    PRes - Promotion to Maj without AOC qual

    If AOC is the only thing missing for substantive promotion, would an Acting While So Employed, or Acting/Lacking work to put you into the vacant Maj position? I believe AWSE can carry on indefinitely as long as you're in the Maj position, but A/L buys you two years to get the course done or...

    medical history

    While there are a few on this site who know whether you are medically eligible or not, they cannot and will not provide definitive direction. It would be up to a Medical Officer to review your file. That said - you mentioned being found NCR in a trial - this is very serious issue. Here's a...

    Contigency Cost Move Vs. Contigency Status

    A posting to the TC with a cost move may be a possibility. Our tipping point for postings usually occurs once a member starts a second TCat, they cannot be employed ~40 hours per week in a safe capacity, and the prognosis for return to full duties within the next six months is poor. Based upon...

    Haitian leaders must all agree before Canada would lead a potential military intervention, Trudeau says

    The US wants nothing to do with Haiti based upon their previous invasions stabilization operations in Haiti, as well as their history of dealing non-white folks. They also keep floating the balloon that Canada should be lead the mission because we have people that can speak French. Though...

    Haitian leaders must all agree before Canada would lead a potential military intervention, Trudeau says

    Haiti is a failed state, and will continue to be one for many years/decades to come. They have overpopulated the country and destroyed the ecosystem, let corruption run rampant, and failed to deliver on key aspects such as health care and education. It is a bottomless pit for foreign aid. I...
