That part of why I asked, because it apparently WAS an official CF policy. I was informed of this first in 1996 by the man who at that tiem was head of military St. Johns training for BC. It was the first I'd heard of it. As a qualified instructor i was forbiden to teach application of tourniquets and was to onofmr students that they were not allowed to aplplya toruniquet. However, after sveral incidents of life-threatening injuries in Bosnia I though a silly thing like that would have been eliminated, but no, again in 2001 senior officers were still saying it was against CF policies (in other words it wasnt a queen's reg, but it was a policy that was enforceable).
I think such a ruling is ridiculous and as of 2005 I know the policy has still not been rescinded in domestic operations. So Im still wondering, are our boys still being told not to and then the policy-makers turn a blind eye? This does not solve the problem!
