    Wanted- Peltor ComTac Ear Defenders

    Ahhhh Jeeze - 600 bucks!  That's a pretty expensive goody. Mine are the non-radio style.  Mint for the ranges.  No more straining to hear the words of command with those damned ear plugs.  Should be standard use for training I think - it they weren't quite so clumsy to wear. Bin

    Electronic Log Books anyone?

    Just wondering if anyone has come across a replacement for the good old log books? I've have seen some places that have automated logs by having make-shift Excel documents to track all logs.  Pretty redundant though as the Duty O insisted on having a computer log as well as a working log book. ...

    Wanted- Peltor ComTac Ear Defenders

    Yeah - how much do these go for??  I have a set that I don't need anymore and may be willing to part.  ;D Bin

    CFSCE Joining Instructions

    Piping in a bit late on this one I know but..... We tossed together a course a year back at "the school" and it was a friggen admin mess.  Nothing to do with CFSCE mind you - all on the part of the units who sent their pers down completely unprepared. We had R&Q arranged, I emailed the...

    Cpl Wilcox court martial - Sydney NS

    Don't forget that the old AD was replaced with ND a few years back. Ok not a valid point really - but the military did put a lot of the onus on individuals for their own weapon.  With the amount of trg that "should" be provided, there still would be no excuse for such an accident. But this is...

    PRes SigOp training

    Kingston is the place.  Can't say for certain the length of your course.....8 - 10 weeks??  I'm sure someone else will chime in. For the record though, Kingston is a great place to party.  Highly recommended.  ::) Bin

    FYI - anyone on the way out.....the Coast Guard is hiring.  ;D  True story. PM for details if anyone is interested in taking their pension to another gov't gig. Bin

    Yup - I'd be willing to bet that Calian is ironing out a plan as we speak to iron out how they'll lock down such a huge bid for pers with such qualifications.  Listen up ladies and gents, get yourself into Resume class and dig out that UER for some content.  The grass on the other side could...

    Seriously, is this nothing more than protecting the empire?  Nobody is trying to steal your job nor your spec pay.  The Army will always need 227s, but for the record, I've been on two courses for operators within the last couple of years whereby we dared to delve into the 227 world.  On the...

    RCMP recruiting unit focus on CF Audience May 28, 2008

    Hmmmm......but what support does the civilian job have for the Reserves?  The Reserves rely on people who can put in their weekends, parade night, and good part of the summer in order to have effective training time throughout the year. Maybe you know more than I do about the subject, but I...

    I don't see the same similarities in these 2 imalgamations that are being discussed. The way I see it, you join the Signals Corps as a CSIT (Sig Op or whatever you want to call it).  Your basic trades training (QL3) will consist of some VERY basic introduction into the other trades.  We're...

    RCMP recruiting unit focus on CF Audience May 28, 2008

    I'm sure some RCMP officers may not want to do 6 months in the sandbox either.  And again.....and again.......  At least an isolated posting is done and out of the way for RCMP.  Great to do when you are young. I agree - a great thing.  But the CF may not benefit if those considering a jump...

    Here we go with the Q and no A. Guys, it was a casual info session.  Things are still in the developing stages and there is no way to answer all the "what ifs" at this point.  Especially concerning individual cases. I don't see where you are drawing info as to withdrawing the Line trade.  If...

    Like I mentioned before, looks like there'll be some requirement for some polish on the plan.  Making a someone into an operator in 100 days is tough enough (from what I've seen) - but then saying they'll also be responsible for 1st line maintenance on gear is another story.  First line maint in...

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    Wow - lots of info.  But I anticipate lots of changes before the polished version is delivered. The Master of Signals is CWO Hohmann by the way.....not that I could ever name the MOS during my younger days. Some things I read are surprising.  Lowering the aptitude for Sig Op/LCIS.......yuck. ...
