What's he going to educate himself about?  Just because we define terms like illegal combattants and insurgents doesn't mean anything to a people that see their country being invaded.  You do realize that NATO forces have committed atrocities as well right?  The problem with deporting him is...

Licensed Civvy Physio's once enrolled are on what pay scale- GSO or Medical Officer? 

The Auditor General is making DND and Air Force acquisitions look very bad here.  I can't help but see all of her points.  In this case no-one is arguing about whether we need equipment but the actual acquisition process is being scrutinized.  CF acquisitions are obviously challenging with all...

He was a kid when it happened, 15 yrs old.  He's been "detained" in Cuba and Canada let the US try him.  This is their decision, I think we should respect it.  Who knows how this Canadian kid got involved but I'd say in the fog of war it's pretty hard to judge.  Call him an insurgent...

MarioMike, In your position as a Toronto paramedic, are you of the opinion that Orng is going towards the american trend?  What are provinces' options?  Are you less than impressed? As another pointed out, they cancelled CHCs contract which tells me Orng is planning on expanding so much that...

That video was F'n funny. Don't know much about the topic but interesting nonetheless.  As services like these, especially in the Health services, get contracted out to the private sector it's inevitable that questionable ethics will be used to increase profits or compete with other bidders. ...

So many problems with your question but I'm gonna go easy on you. You have to go through the whole application/recruiting process to be accepted into the Canadian Forces as an Officer or NCM for that matter.  To be commissioned as an officer in the CF you are supposed to have a degree (any) and...

I think you'll be alright, it's turbo-fan engines so it's surprisingly quiet.  Less noisy than a Herc.  Give'r

Thanks for the help, I forgot that the authority could be delegated down.  As for a 2Lt having answers, not likely.  I was querying PSP staff but they said it has been a long time since they have had a request like this so they weren't sure.  They should know though, you're right. 

I'm preparing an application to enter a civilian sports competition right now and as per the CFAOs it says that it has to be approved by the Commander of the Command.  I'm posted to 442 Sqn (Search and Rescue), 19 Wing Comox so I suppose I would be under the Air Command and therefore the...

The doctor talked to me about this when I was at DRDC in February and said that it should be in operation in a few months.  He said that it will be some sort of booth that takes all of the measurements automatically with lasers so that there is no sytematic error.  Most of the error right now is...

I thought it was January and September BOTC's for DEO plans. I guess I'll find out soon enough but I was planning on doing some travelling before I forfeit my freedom.

Yeah I think there is some merit to this end of fiscal year enrollment "phenomenom". I am happy to report that I got a Pilot job offer today when I expected to be waiting for the april !5th selection board.  I am a DEO applicant and did my ASC first week of February.  I'm happier than a pig in...

I am personally oppose to going back to the old "Royal" titles.  While I'm immensely proud of our history when we had these titles I believe that Canada is now in a position where our military should not be associated with the British.  Also just because the majority of the Forces' members speak...

I don't know the odds but probably not in your best interest to know at this stage. You still need to complete several steps before the file goes to selection board; physical test, medical exam, eye exam, interview, urine and blood test, Aircrew selection test, Air navigator tests, aircrew...

That's funny because I was diagnosed with MVP as well during the medical and was told that it wouldn't be a problem.  Just to find out more on the subject I researched this subject on the Defense Research and Development webpage and found publications that showed MVP to be the single most...

  I had kind of the same scenario at aircrew medical earlier this month, the anthropometric measurements said that I was borderline pass for a couple of the trainers, ie; jet-ranger, hawk.  The doctor told me that about half of the people that get to aircrew medical don't "fit" into at least...

I've found some info on this subject if anyone is curious, it is on the Defence Research and Development Canada website and then search in the publications section.  There is a wealth of info on a wide range of topics. Very interesting stuff eventhough they are formal scientific papers.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to find the Anthropometric guidelines for the different aircraft. Specifcally for the Jet Ranger and British Hawk for sitting height, thigh length, leg length etc. Unfortunately the flight surgeon's guidelines website doesn't have this specific of information. 

I'm just wondering if different broken bones affect your eligibilty more than others because when I applied I wasn't informed of any problems with my medical history.  I had broken arm(3 times), collarbone and heel.  Is it because certain things can affect your mobility, ie; ankle.  Or does...
