I just hope that some where they actually come up with a policy and make it clear with in the Med Trade, case in point.
Up north we get tested for TB every fall, 2004 I had my book with me as I just got posted to Yellowknife and had come back from a tour so it was handy, did the PPD and the med techs said, you shouldn't hold on to that we will, what reason do I have to argue, I don't hold on to my med files so...
2006 New Med tech -new PPD (the one in 2005 was by the same crew in 2004) asked for our Yellow books, informed that they held them after a few disagreeing views on the matter they pulled our med docs and found our yellow books- apparently they weren't suppose to be they, we were told they had to be prior. As a foot note although I have only been doing this for about 20 years it has been hit or miss on where they go or who holds them in my time in.
Coming from and ex gunner turned admin control freak. ;D

Better yet, have your book checked every winter when you go in for your flu shot...

You'd be surprised how many people don't do flu shots.

Have you seen a doctor?
Your profile does not indicate if you are Reg or Res. Without delay, you should report it to the recruiting centre or your home unit if you have one ASAP, they will advise on how to proceed. If you wait until you arrive on your BMQ destination and are unable to fully participate you will likely be sent home. Be proactive, it will save a lot of headaches for everyone and speak volumes about your maturity.
I have seen people get off buses and planes enroute to Recruit School training with casts on limbs, they have not received a warm welcome.

What happens if someone gets injured before going to BMOQ? Are you put back on the merit list again or put on the next training session?
Further, for PT standards, are we allowed to do pushups on our knuckles? I get wrist pain when doing large repetitions on my palms and was cusious whether we could do them on our knuckles after the express test?

I recall reading this before.........Where was it and who wrote it?
As for an injury prior to a Crse.......Well that will depend on the injury and whether or not you will be able to complete the Crse without further injuring yourself. You may not be Crse Loaded, depending on the severity of the injury. A little bit of common sense would tell you this. It should be something you learn to think about now, before you progress much further in your training.

If you have injured yourself & are unable to take the course.... get in touch with the recruiting people & advise them of your changed status. Don't do something silly like showing up for course while hoping for the best - you would not be doing yourself any favors.

You'd think you'd want to be able to preform to the best of your ability and not just barely get by due to painful injury. It's all about taking care of your self. Would they send you to afghanistan with an injury? Not quite the same but thats what they are trying to emulate in my opinion.
P.s Get lots of protein and vitamins especially E and C and stay away from refined suger, it will speed the healing process.
Best of luck!

It *should* be a re-crse (meaning you should not have to go through the boards again)... Pls be upfront with the CFRC you are dealing with. You do NOT want to get to ELRFC and go onto PAT. The MIR (hospital) is not the best in comparison with the med facilities at other bases (IMHO). And, if you get to ELRFC and are forced onto PAT it is extremely likely that you will be requ to stay there (i.e. you would not be eligible to go to an attach posting on OJT). Keep in mind that BMOQ (unlike BMQ) does NOT have new plts starting up every week, so you will prolly be on PAT for a min of four months. NOT FUN!!!
Can you give us more details on this injury?
Also, the CF EXPRES test has very specific form (esp for pushups). If you do not follow the form, the pushups will not count. I will check with PSP on Mon to see if you can do the test with knuckle pushups but I highly doubt it.
