    Disability Awards: I have a question about mine (merged)

    Thanks, Blackberet.  I've come across a couple of different takes on reactive airway disease, including one from here  http://www.uptodate.com/contents/reactive-airways-dysfunction-syndrome-and-irritant-induced-asthma , where they define it as a type of asthma, where bronchial...

    Disability Awards: I have a question about mine (merged)

    One of the great things I brought back from my tour was asthma.  After being told by VAC I had no diagnosis for asthma post-tour (untrue, there certainly was), I went to an independent respirologist, where asthma was reconfirmed.  Although I've been diagnosed with asthma, VAC persists in calling...

    OSIs suck

    Thanks...I really appreciate the offer and the support.  The OSISS fella in Ottawa got back to me right away, which was pretty nice of him considering I had the bad timing of contacting him in the middle of his leave.  ;)

    OSIs suck

    Thanks guys.  Today is looking better.  We'll see how it goes..  Up until now, I've had a really hard time with the idea of being around/talking to people who are still "in".  Ironic, given that my therapist, no matter how great she is, cannot fill the need to talk to someone who "gets" the...

    Shots fired at CFB Kingston

    RIP Captain Rushowick.  :salute:  So sad to hear we've lost yet another brother by his own hand.... I found a story from a couple of years ago that mentions Pat.  http://www.yorktonnews.com/article/20110825/YORKTONNEWS0101/308259999/-1/YORKTONNEWS/emotional-unveiling-touches-home

    Happy Ho-Ho-Holidays!

    Proudnurse:  Thanks!  I'm sure it will be great.  I joke about it, but in reality I am very thankful to be home to have everyone over this year, and for everyone to be relatively healthy and happy.  :)

    next 291 course

    As sigtech already pointed out, already having your Level 2 will help the process and yes, it's always a pain.  And note what he said about keeping at least one copy of your clearance forms!  It will be invaluable when (not if....WHEN) you have to do them again.  And again...and again.  ::) ;D...

    Girlfriends

    My husband and I are both Army (though different trades), and we started off our marriage in true military fashion - I had just gotten home from my 5's, and he was in Pat Platoon, awaiting his trades training.  He came home for Christmas holidays, we got married, and then off he went back to...

    Irving family who lived in Shannon Park (Dartmouth) Nova Scotia early to mid 80s

    They may have been there prior to the 80s, but I am not certain.  The father, Kenneth Irving, was Navy over at 'Stad.  His wife's name was Sharon.  I am interested in finding their daughter Sherie who I used to hang around with a lot.  They also had 2 or 3 sons, but I never did see too much of...

    Where do you call home?

    Have been hanging my hat/headdress in and around Ottawa, Ontario for the last 15 years, but just as much consider Nova Scotia to be home.  I love 'em both. Edit: My family lived in Shannon Park/Wallis Heights on the Dartmouth side of Halifax Harbour from 1976 - '85 or '86....Dad was Navy.  He...
