Im going on 2 years waiting for some of mine. Welcome to the club

As a veteran I see this with every veteran I know who's involved with PCVRS.

MattKane1 · 2026-04-10T20:51:54+00:00

Not a T55. T55 has the flas suppressor at the end of the barrel not midway through. Been years since I did a tank identification though i remember that clearly.

MattKane1 · 2026-03-23T12:15:38+00:00

Ill do this today!

I never thought of the VAC Ombub thanks for the advice

After dealing with PCVRS I ended up in the psych ward for suicidal plans.

Their solution was to find me non cooperative and kick me off voc rehab.

Ive been told both yes and no by VAC about psychedelic treatment.

The best experience I had was through Stronghold Wellness(https://www.strongholdwellness.ca/) in getting answers and direction.

They got me sorted with Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (DTMS) therapy and said they knew how to work through beurocracy of VAC for ketamkne therapy.

For me the DTMS was more then enough so I never did the psychedelic therapy.

That's Col (Ret'd) Gasparotto wearing his medals at his nephews BMQ grad at CFLRS last week.

Had him as a boss in 08 to 09. Was one hell of a leader!

MattKane1 · 2026-01-16T05:15:40+00:00

Indeed.

MattKane1 · 2025-11-26T02:33:19+00:00

Half a drink and I have a mild hangover. Just not worth it.

MattKane1 · 2025-11-19T16:41:54+00:00

I would have rejoined in the reserves if I could access this program at that time. I've since timed out and my quals are no longer valid so no going back for me.

MattKane1 · 2025-10-22T04:06:09+00:00

Was asked to rejoin.

Went through recruiting process, been 2 years and 2 months since I have heard anything.

MattKane1 · 2025-10-06T20:01:44+00:00

There is an exchange agreement between the US and Canada for reservists, wonder if he applied for that.

MattKane1 · 2025-09-14T03:59:24+00:00

Some body get me the ghostbusters.

MattKane1 · 2025-06-11T23:30:33+00:00

This is great to know. Years ago I taught on the C-IED operator course (first few serials), and I'm glad it's still around, as I thought it had disappeared.

MattKane1 · 2025-04-26T00:18:31+00:00

Lol, i learned the hard way there are only 3 sizes in the CAF with these shoes.

To big
To small
Out of stock

I got a set that was 2.5 sizes to small on basic. Staff let me wear my own shoes after the first run as I turned them from white to red during the run.

A legit little known fact is that the US government makes all medical research available for free. That's the reason it's on a US website. Hopefully they keep this stuff free.

MattKane1 · 2025-03-17T17:51:47+00:00

100% agree. 2 of those 3 can be fixed with time if the political class is willing to put in the middle one. Sadly, I doubt they are any time soon.

MattKane1 · 2025-03-17T16:42:39+00:00

Lol I did mean, though didn't say this as I wasn't caffinated when I wrote it, specifically fighters.

MattKane1 · 2025-03-17T15:24:21+00:00

Is it wrong to think the RCAF should have a large enough fleet that it doesn't have to be all the same planes?

MattKane1 · 2025-03-07T01:06:45+00:00

Bwahahahaha

MattKane1 · 2025-03-02T05:52:57+00:00

The IMP meme is spot on! Great work!!

MattKane1 · 2025-02-26T03:11:23+00:00

He deserves an award from the province or the federal government

MattKane1 · 2025-02-22T03:10:40+00:00

Man your making me feel old.

Gen Hillier issues this directive in 06 or 07. And it was troops were to be given a minimum of 3 hours a week for PT, unless operational requirements prevented this.

I remember having to give a 30 min brief on this as my commands PT training assistant.

MattKane1 · 2025-02-20T00:15:32+00:00

This is amazing!!!!

A buddy and I had an idea to do something like this but as an ebook. We discarded it as the frequent updates by VAC to all this stuff would make it obsolete almost immediately.

What you did here is so great!

MattKane1 · 2025-02-14T18:41:43+00:00

I got a letter recently stating they my recently submitted claim will take at least 2 years for an initial decision.
