    Thoughts on deployment/rotation length & HLTA

    First of all do you really think that Gen Hiller is going to tell anyone that they are planning to increase the rotations until it is carved in stone and it is a done deal, lets face it the man is too bloody smart to get caught in something like that.  So don't believe everything that you read...

    Med Tech Retention

    As for retention I think making it intresting and keeping it so starts with the sub unit IE the med section, med platoon, med company then the unit.  What is stopping the section i/c from sitting down and getting a little interactive discussion going remember to involve everyone and not just the...

    The Blood Pressure Superthread

    No it should not cause any red flags to come up.  So long as you are in fairly good health and are taking precautions to reduce you BP.  Does you FMD have you on any meds for your BP and are you taking it regularly and you don't see any major highs, then it shouldn't be a problem. So long as...

    4 Reserve Medics in Asia

    Not a good idea encase of injury, illness or exposure to toxic substance.  Christ member's have a h_ll of a time now going through the red tape at the VA.  Both Reg force and Reserve. Could you just imagine the crap they would get regarding something like this.  Like Armymedic stated very Noble...

    Retirement of DGHS MGen Mathieu

    Can't see it being Capt (N) Kavanagh thought she was an MO, that is unless it is her brother Kevin.  If it is him we could do worse.

    Dual Trade Progression

    Sure would be nice to know the reason why you voted the way you did, but not required.  Thought it would be nice to have some dialogue regarding this matter.

    Dual Trade Progression

    Should the Medical Branch allow dual progression beyond the rank of WO? The reason I am conducting this poll is because of the number of Sr Medical  NCM's that are refusing their PA course.  Dual progression would allow members to become WO's without attending the PA crse.  However, they must...

    CFMG becoming more "clinical"?

    Totally agree with Armymedic.  If you can't walk the walk or talk the talk in a controlled situation / learning environment.  Then there is no place for you in the field.    Besides all we do is add on to what has already been done at the CCP and by the soldiers buddies in  F/A.  Don't forget...

    Physician Assistant

    This is a more than likely to happen regarding PA's, they will be trained at Civilian Universities, that is a given. However don't assume that they are going to run and join the military with this new found skill.  Take a look at the MD's that are out there.  Then go to a recruiting center and...

    Physician Assistant

    True if and when the Universities start this program it will more than likely outstrip the CF.  Then again it will allow the CF to use their facilities and educators Vs us doing it.  With this I believe we will get a better PA. As the program will use the medical facialties associated with the...

    Physician Assistant

    Okay this is good.  But what happens to the man-management skiills and most important of all the medical experience that you get with TI.  I for one would like to see junior trades persons get the opportunity to advance but not at the expense of the profession and the quality of care that is...

    Physician Assistant

    Must be walking on water to make  the rank of Sgt in 10 years. However, this is all moot if nobody wants to take the friggin course.

    Bob Crawshaw

    :cdn: Was wondering if anybody out there could help me locate an old service member.  Went through 3's training back in 1977 and were posted to Calgary together in Oct of 77.  His name Bob Crawshaw,  he was a Med A posted to 1 field ambulance.  Bob got out of the CF back around 78 - 79.  As far...

    Defence: $12.7-billion infusion ;D

    Lets remember troops th meat of this budget  is forecasted to happen in the next 4-5 years.  So do you really think that this is going to have any real effect on the CF.  Lets watch and shoot for the next general election and hope that the Tories do better next time round. :cdn: UBIQUE :salute:

    Ombudsman's Report on BOI's

    I take what you say is true.  Then why is Mr Marin blowing his horn and saying we aren't dotting all our i's and crossing or T's.  If not mistaken he is a lawyer and should do his homework or at least someone in his office should, shouldn't they.  But then again we are talking about civies...
