I've been going for aircrew medicals for over two decades now, and for as long as I can remember, I've had to fill out a DND 2452 questionnaire, a DND 2552 questionnaire, and a Hearing Questionnaire that looks like it was thrown together on a Friday afternoon by the clinic OJT'er. It's titled "Hearing Loss Prevention Program" and asks a series of questions related to auditory health such as ear pain, tinnitus, etc as well as noise exposure at work and off duty. It's curious to me because it's not an official DND form like the other questionnaires, and it cites no policy or programmatic basis for the collection of the information. My brief DWAN search for "Hearing Loss Prevention Program" came up blank, although that may be more a function of the DWAN search function than the absence of said program.

So, to my CFHS colleagues, what is the point of this amateur looking form that I've had to fill out every year? Why hasn't anyone made it into an official form? Where can I learn about the Hearing Loss Prevention Program and how this survey fits in?

It was announced today that our favourite moon traveler is CTing to the reserves. If you were them, what REO job would you be applying for?

I'd very much like to make a sticker based on the Aurora scorpion tail art from Op Impact. Does that design live on a network drive somewhere in Greenwood? Who can I deliver beer to that can hook me up?

A few wristwatches out there, like the Citizen Navihawk and Breitling Navitimer, famously have slide rule bezels. Many of us of a certain age were taught the use of the slide rule in pilot training, and I think it's fair to say that that skillset rarely gets used in practice in the current century. I'm curious if anyone in this group ever saved the day through the use of their wristwatch slide rule, and if so, what's the story?
