I reread a lot of the email traffic and it seems that the adjustment (like you said, not an everyday one) wrt to the changes in the CBI's has not been done yet in the pay system. They should be changing it shortly, but I guess with all the pension restructuring they've gotten side tracked. I...

There seem to be a number of Class B jobs available with HSG's for PRes HCAs (I've seen a couple over the last few months) - so the opportunities are there (met an HCA a couple of weeks ago who just started a Class B job here in Edmonton). I'm only saying this to highlight the fact that there...

I was told that he had to go to Ottawa for the changes to be made with respect to my joining message (joining message said pay at level C - new message states pay in level D). Perhaps it has something to do with adjusting the level with respect to the CBI that applies to my case (maybe para 9.1...

On the CFMSS DIN site, BCT 1 is 16-27 July and BCT 2 is 30 July - 3 Aug. Like I said earlier, I'm not up on the res vs reg equivalencies for HCA's - however I can tell you that I'm 99% sure (in my humble opinion) the Ryerson program (officially called the Health Services Management Program)...

Basic Health Services Field Course is a 5 week course done with most medical branch officer trades (nurses, HCA's, etc). You learn all about the health services in the field/how they operate and you do a couple of field ex's. Basic HCA course is just that, the first course for HCAs and you...

Just as a follow up to Gunner98's post - we are telling medics scheduled for 1-08 that in the end they might be placed in the TO&E as role 3 - but expect to be role 1 at some point. There were requests "can I get a role 3 spot on the tour" and they were quickly given a reality check - because...

I too had a joining message that had to be amended. Anyone that DEO'd from the ranks (I went res NCM to reg O) is eligible to be paid at level D of the officer pay scale (CBI 204.211 para 9.1). I was offered/paid on level C upon enrolment and that's what I've been paid at since. I know at least...

If the training is the same for reserves as it is in the regs for HCA's - then the basic health services field course runs from 30 Apr - 7 June and the Basic HCA crse runs from 8 June - 9 July. Back to back in Borden.

Biggest thing for a PLA is being able to back up POs/EOs with previous experience - whether it's civie side schooling/work or military courses. I've done 2 PLA's for the Health Services Branch (1 successful and 1 pending and hopefully sitting on the PLA desk in Ottawa) and I've done a couple for...

PM inbound.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that the medics from my unit who are going on the course are happy they have the course because there is somewhat of a lineup to get on it. I was reacting to the comments that opened this thread in the way 'I felt' it downplayed the type of medic who is going...

You don't appreciate junior officers spreading our 'vast knowledge' about everything and anything to the masses? I thought Sgt/WO's loved that... >:D

Not to mention that in my experience (ie: the five from my platoon who will be attending the QL5A crse in January) - the quality of soldier that would be going on a QL5A reg force medic course would not be someone who would be a 'nervous' type to fail this course. Maybe for a QL3 crse a new...

How long have you been working as an HCA? The CAP wouldn't write of the basic field because of the medical aspects of the Basic Health Services Field Course - as I'm sure GINge will have some input here (ex-combat arms officer - reg force - who should have, but didn't get the write-off). If you...

Is the new MO basic training course official or is it just 'in the works'? I know it's been talked about for the last year or so (since I did my BOTC with 5 docs last fall). One of our docs at the unit had a 'condensed' 8 or so weeks in St-Jean this summer at CFLRS (was bounced around IAP and...

You can PM me for specific questions - I was a reserve musician for a few years - still volunteer with a reserve band since I transfered to the regular force (didn't transfer as a musician). Also did the cadet music thing just over 10 years ago for 4 summers (course/staff). There is an FAQ...

Go to www.cflrs.forces.gc.ca and on the front page there is a "how to get to St-Jean Garrison" section - should help you out.

The impression I got from some people regarding AJOSQ was that you had to have your OPME portions done before you could move on to the other POs (204, 205). Can anyone confirm this? I'll be finishing off the leadership/ethics crse (I have mod 1 complete) in the new year and was curious if anyone...

Look at your time line for when you start IAP/BOTP and try and do a PLA (prior learning assessment). I was in a bit of a different situation - with PLQ and close to 8 years in the reserves - and didn't get an IAP bypass. Yet people that were on my same PLQ course got the bypass (I didn't have...

Call your section 2IC or section comd (MCpl/Sgt) on your fanout list. It's their job to listen to your situation and they'll know the rules about how much time you can miss and whether or not it can be made up at a later date (as some things in the schedule are can be 'set in stone'). I know...
