I am currently on training here at the MEGA in St-Jean..
I am on the IAP then the BOTP program...
got injured in week 7 of IAP......prognosis of injury is surgery to the lower leg probably requiring 3 - 6 months off of rehabilitation.
no problem with that although it is hard to swallow having to start all the way back at week 1 again, because i am an officer cadet.....(if you are a recruit, you have 60 days to restart your course in the week you left off in).......i am determined to recourse and kick more ass.
my problem is that i was injured in the 2nd week of Feb. 2006 and I was told by staff at the MIR that :
1. physiotherapy will not start for at least 1 1/2 months....
2. seeing a specialist who makes the call for surgery will not occur for 2 months.....
so you get injured in mid-February and any rehab and/or surgery will not even BEGIN until mid-April......
i realize cases are handled on a priority basis,....but i could get an attached posting and have the surgery done within a week or two at any other base.
i guess the military would rather lose money ($600/month) for my Cost of Living Adjustment and Separation Pay and Room and Board at St-Jean than send me somewhere where I would save them moeny as well as be ready for duty in half the time......
signed......bitter and bitchy in St-Jean
