I love it!!!!! I'd take payoffs to ensure total runarounds for pertinent issues. :D

I'm also fully aware of the adage, that any idiot can point out problems.... It takes talent to point out solutions.

PanaEng, I agree about the lack of unification. However, there's a lack of unification at nearly aspect of the DND by the time you get down to the Cpl. Why? My *guess* is mostly because for 20 years there's been a lack of information coming straight from the source, a lack of information that...

This whole thread caught my eye - a refreshingly intelligent conversation on here. I'll chime in my $0.02 as a non-SSC, non-helpdesk, IT security & IM geek.  So... here's the two sides of the coin: Pretty much bull's-eyes most issues.  Except for the whole Print it off  ... I just about...

I just got my message for Civvy College in Toronto starting January for NWT. Leading Seaman Bigabe.  I'm going to miss combats, and the name Corporal. 

You bet... and when I was there, you're either on one or spectating one about every 2-3 weeks or so for all the other poet courses.  This usually entails 2 morning drill practices, then the real deal.  PARADE oriented Electronics Training.  :)

Hey, to some shop suprs out there.  What systems do you guys use for controlling the parts etc that are in your shop? We were pretty archaic for awhile, but not we have some keen supervisors so as we're cataloguing everything, whats a good way to keep tabs of it? I'm in mostly a first/second...

Whoa whoa.  Not here to spread info that isn't mine.  She says her tour was a nightmare so I'll just leave it at that, and there's a HUGE difference between filing for harassment and people talking/acting in a way that bugs you.  I would certainly hope the harassment "system" doesn't get abused...

Shady on specifics and she won't come on here.  Things like painting with all the doors closed.  Highest threat alert, so missing out on a lot of port visits (3 or 4 months straight on the boat at 1 point).  Cranky old sailors who didn't want "splits" on their ship :)  Poor old sailors. There's...

Whats it like?  How much is component level electronics, and how much is mechanical and "hands dirty" work?  How big is your team, usually, and what other trades do you work closest with?  Obviously its a shape and you do a lot of things with everyone.  Anyways, my OT is in.  Just trying to...

Only thing I know about the trade is that my wife was an NCI Op.  Now she's an ATIS tech.  :) To each their own.  From what she tells me the Ops room is a pretty busy place.  You can easily go from go go go to watching flies "make love".  They pretty much speak their own language, at least she...

I've only ever heard of things like SCUBA Diving and Equestrian Appreciation being denied.  All it takes is a substantiation paragraph.  The better you write it, the more likely to get approved.  There's techs who have done everything from Classic German Cinema to Network+ and A+ that work in...

I just laughed and shot chunks of cereal across my living room.  Mostly because its true.  I mean, I am eating cereal in my own living room at 1130 on a weekday. :) clackity clackity ... filling out online ILP form... clackity clackity ...*poof* now doing the distance ed Cisco course on DNDs...

Nachos

The OT app is on the Admin NCO's desk.  Application to a community college has been sent out.  First PER EVER is being signed at a mug out on Friday.  Bracing for heavy duty teasing for wanting to remuster to the Navy.... I asked the PSO.  She said In/Out numbers, college unconditional...
