About a decade ago, I was part of a month long planning team that used a CONPLAN as the basis to wargame one of Canada's Force Planning Scenarios.  We used a worst case scenario, and the most accurate data we could get from Geophysicists. The prediction was catastrophic (I did say worst case...

Is it really a long time? How long ago did Black Americans get the right to vote? Then, how long ago was it that they weren't intimidated into not voting? How about school integration, riding the bus wherever you feel like sitting, or going to the theatre?  There are still 'whites only' golf...

I'm not sure if there is anyone on here who is a VAC representative. The Royal Canadian Legion offers free assistance in preparing and staffing VAC claims, and it is very beneficial to have that second set of eyes reviewing it. Are you aware of other services you may be entitled to, for...

Are we so sure he's not amphibious???

Grizzly 9 - None of us on this site has the authority to answer your question here.  You must go to the nearest Canadian Forces Recruiting Centre and discuss the issue with the staff there.  The Recruiting Centre will direct you on what documentation needs to be provided by your Doctors (and...

Weekend BMQ courses are run in some areas. QL3 Medical Assistant is only run in the summers at the school in Borden.

Too funny..... As part of my 'treatment', I was told to undertake 'Exposure Therapy' at home.  My Social Worker told me to spend an hour a day on the internet watching the most graphic and violent videos of people being injured and killed that I could find.  The site I visited had a porn...

I would think that with your current educational background, you probably already meet the requirements for Medical Assistant (MOSID 00150) in the Reserves. You need:  Gr. 11 Ontario or provincial equivalent (Québec Sec IV equivalent for all courses) with an Academic Profile to include Gr. 11...

Beehive for sure - there'd be nothing left after that!

Okay folks, who here hasn't thought of doing this at some point???? This guy just managed to live the dream - he should have just taken it outside of city limits!

Sounds like Grand Unification Theory is about to happen Thucydides......

None of us here can tell you what a typical settlement from VAC is for your injuries - there seems to be a fairly wide range, and sometimes it isn't entirely clear how they arrive at the final percentage.  What I will say with your VAC application, is be as honest and detailed as possible in the...

Old Sweat - I once worked for a senior Officer like that - we used to say that he spun like a ferret on meth. Whenever he took over a section, he would immediately initiate a wealth of new 'projects' and 'initiatives'. These contributed very little, spun the entire staff out and distracted them...

I am still curious as to what his intent was. He had no materials with him, so why Ottawa? Was it a recce for a future plan he had?

Based upon my experience, having worked at Director Casualty Support Management, and IPSC Ottawa over the last three years, there really aren't that many schemers.  What is very common, is injured personnel who are downplaying the severity of their condition in order to remain in the CAF. I've...

I know the light isn't in the visible part of the spectrum, so I hope they've added speakers to it so that it makes a huge 'ZAP' sound when it fires!  ;D

Is that cheaper than a 5.56 round? The question, is how well does it operate in bad weather?

Maybe she was given a riffle.....

Was it cabbage roll night in the mess again??

What a tool...... :facepalm: I often wonder if his 'handlers' suffer strokes every time he opens his mouth and goes off script. Now remember Justin, just stand there and look stylish, and for God's sake, don't try to speak!
