Hmmm...well now I will have to check up on that.  I just remember my audiologist saying that from the test results, I didn't warrant the use of HAs yet.  You would have figured that he would of at least mentioned the possibility of that working. I have a friend from the PPCLI that is still...

Bubbs - yes, I had both my legs operated on 1 year apart.  My right one was done first in 2005, operation didn't do any good due to the fact that the surgeon at NDMC screwed up royally on it.  I now have 2, 12inch scars on both sides of the leg and have permanent nerve damage to the inside of my...

I also have Tinnitus and was approved for a lump sum payment about 3 months ago.  I had no problems with my claim (which came as a total surprise as I was ready for another fight with the VA).  I was sent to hearing centre in town and another appointment with a specialist at the hospital. ...

Hey oldcanuck19621; I personally would wait until you receive the paperwork from the VA, fill it in and see what there crse of action is.  I would pull the Legion card out only if your not happy with the VAs decision after you send in your paperwork. I actually was just contacted by the VA...

I use to use Opera and loved it but, when I got Windows 7, I daughter got me hooked on FF.

IE is the reason why I have been using Fire Fox for the past 2 years without any problems.

lol, now that's funny.  I did the same thing...ONCE...and once only.  I got that 'look' and got the 'speech'...never said that to her again!

Buddy...I am 5'2.  I was 5'3 when I first joined the military back in 83.  I spend my entire career proving to others that I could do what ever task was thrown my way but most importantly, I proved it to myself!  At times it wasn't easy completing BFTs, it wasn't because of having to carry the...

I retired 2 1/5 yrs ago.  All supply does now is ask you if you want to keep them, if you say yes, they punch 2 holes in the tongue of the footwear and give them back to you.  If you way no, they take them and get rid of them.

I've only ever seen the 'Go Army' in a decal which you should be able to get from Petawawa or Edmonton (that's where I got mine).  But if you do find a magnetic one, let us know.

I suggest that you contact the education coord at your base.  Tell him you want to do this upgrading thru a ILP (Individual Learning Plan).  What ever crse you take, it will cost you money.  The ILP will tell us what you want to take, how much it will cost, where you want to take it and how long...

If for what ever reason anyone gets turned down (denied) after their appeals, turning to the Legion is the way to go.  I had to go this route after I was turned down on my last appeal to the VA.  I just contacted the local Legion Branch, they put me in contact with their rep from Ottawa. Within...

No worries man, I was giving my 'negative' feedback because he was looking for suggestions.  My suggestion was to get his problem fixed fast and to stay fit for as long as he could. I was trying to give him the worse case because of my experience, perhaps I should have mentioned something to...

In my case I first joined up as a Cook (not my choice but because I wanted in at that time and didn't want to travel all the way to Toronto to enlist into the trade I really wanted).  I was told that it was only for 1 year and that I could remuster after that.  What they didn't tell me was that...

I was a YTEP, crse 8335, 5 plt.  Started out as a Cook, remustered Feb 1990 to TelOp 212, got melted in with the 211s in 1999 to become a SigO 215.  Retired Sep 2008.

MM - when I said that is what the VAC called it, I was quoting that term right out of the documents/letter that I received from them when they notified me of their decision.  I didn't mean it to sound like I was saying the VAC just made up that term. As far as your comment about " There are...

Buddy, what ever you do for the shin splints, make sure you get it fixed quick.  How tall are you?  I'm only 5"3, had nothing but problems on ruck marches...ALWAYS!  The pain would reach the point where I would loose feeling from my knees down.  Ended up getting 2 operations on both sets of...

I was already in the military when I first meet my wife.  She was a base-brat so, she knew all about separation from having to go through it with her father.  When I came along, it was like there was this 'unwritten' code that existed and we both just dealt with it because we always knew that at...
