According to the dates I have been given by people from 15 Med (who knew their course dates since January), it seems that the QL4 Med A (or Med Tech whatever the heck they want to call it now) looks like it is 6 weeks long. The trade I feel sorry for is Vehicle Techs... I hear they really have...

Thank you for the information sir. I will follow up on it ASAP.

Hi everyone. I‘m just curious if you‘ve received information about summer taskings and courses for Reservists. I have received some lists for taskings but they are all for cadet taskings and no word on courses or med taskings for places like Wainwright. I have talked to someone who knows...

Since that guy is selling 50 of them.. I don‘t suppose that he‘d be buying them from here: http://www.canadianpeacekeeper.com/CP-Name-Tapes.asp "To Order 50 to 99 Name Tapes ($3.25ea Cdn)" And then selling them off eBay for $5.50 US. Heh, he‘s also selling this...

Good news Bzzliteyr : I won the eBay auction so as soon as the guy e-mails me back, I should be on my way to owning a new beret. Thanks again for the offer. MPSHIELD: Thanks for the T-shirt offer but I found 2 used ones albeit overpriced at an army surplus store. I should‘ve bought more in...

Bzzliteyr: Wow. Thanks for the offer. I‘m going to see how that eBay bid goes first... that guy lives in BC so hopefully he might live in the Lower Mainland so I can drive by and pick it up. I may take you up on that offer later though. How would I pay you though? PayPal? Money Order? Wire...

Actually, I believe doctors are under a different pay system. They go by a contract instead. Thus a Medical Officer Captain would make around 100k a year compared to an Infantry Officer Captain who would make about 60k a year. I have also heard that certain trades get ‘spec‘ pay (I don‘t know...

Bzzliteyr: I handed in a memo regarding the lost kit and as combat_medic stated: "Don‘t count on 12 Med replacing it anytime soon; they‘re pretty hurtin for kit" Well it must be pretty bad if people outside the unit (even though combat_medic is technically part of our unit now...) know about...

Wow. Thanks for all the help guys. I didn‘t even know what an ASU was until you guys mentioned it. I‘m going to check out Chilliwack "http://www.army.dnd.ca/ASU_CHILLIWACK/contents.htm" once I find the phone number. If I do find it, I‘m probably going to hold off on calling it because I‘m sure...

Where can I buy official kit to replace lost items? I live in Vancouver and I‘m looking to buy stuff like an extra beret but it seems like all the stores carry versions that aren‘t like the ones that are issued. Can I order any of this stuff online?

The Prime Minister is only concerned about his career. That‘s the sad state of most politicians these days. The only mistake he‘s worried about making is one that would lose votes.

Actually, for my fitness test (which was done at the downtown Vancouver recruiting centre) they made me do pushups where my chest touched the ground and my middle fingers were lined up with my shoulders. It sounds like nothing in the Army is consistent even though it‘s supposed to be.

Thanks for the info. I have two more questions though- when you transfer from reserves to reg forces, is it a smooth transition or do you have to quit one first then join the other? What about from reg forces to reserves?

Knocked down a rank? I didn‘t know they did that.... I always thought that was considered a "bad" thing. I get sworn in to the Reserves next week. I was thinking of joining the Reserves for a bit to see what the army was like and if I like it, I might sign up for the Reg Forces.

How do you sign up as a medic in another unit? I was under the impression that to become a medic that you had to sign up with a med coy.
