The Pl Comd (Lt/Capt) depending on the level of formation above him would also be responsible for the FIN side of the house having Section 32 or 34 levels of responsibility for spending money, managing a budget. However at times WO's may also have FIN responsibilities. Traditionally the Pl WO...

It's not a train wreck from the army's point of view. Think of it from their perspective, as we gradually spiral into the ground to eventually crash down with all hands lost, the rest of the CF will learn how to do business without us. All the sub occs will be done by contractors, and the core...

ACISS training scheme is not working, therefore a new plan: Ptes comes off basic goes to CFSCE and completes DP1.0 Common and is granted XXXX qual which states VHF Det Mbr under supervision. They go to their new units, strong recommendation that it is a HQ & Sigs Sqn, there they complete the...

I had a conversation with a influential Warrant Officer  a while back and his ideas ref ACISS were interesting. Right now we has a trade with a core element and three sub occs (four counting CISTM).  The idea was still one trade - call it ACISS or what ever - but with no core element but four...

Hello everybody It has been awhile since I last posted. To say that the new ACISS trade has not gotten off to a good start would be the understatement of the year. It is easy to cast stones at CFSCE, however these new core and sub occ crses still require shaping and refinement.  And I agree...

Two skill sets seem to be dying in the CF: HF Comms and Winter Warfare.

Hello Cobrajr I don't know how it would work for as being part of the Sub Edu Entry Plan.  Your best bet is to email the MES Manager on the link above and ask him if will have to do DP1.0, etc. Hello Rheostatic Yes the reserves will fall under the same Dp1 and DP2 quals like the Regular...

"This is a MAJOR flaw in the MES plan. As it is, you have pers needing max supevision in a rad det. Now you're keeping them in the Core trade and not training them up to the standard of a current SigOp." This is how I think it is suppose to work.  In The MES brief they called the DP 2.0 Crse a...

And everybody in the Troop had to wait their turn to use something call a 'Typewriter' to do their weekend leave pass.

Change is something that is going to blow your mind.  I have been a Reserve Radio-Teletype Operator 215, then in the Regular Force a Radio Operator 211 and then a Signals Operator 214 and now a ACISS Operator. When I first joined we had analog radios that were voice and low data with a LTACS...

Well think of it this way, CST begins at 1.1 while ACISS Op is DP1.  There is no ACISS Op 1.1.  In the Trade Diagram everybody starts at DP1, to the left side ACISS Op Core goes up to DP 2.0.  Then there are three pipes to the right that are the Sub Ocps - CST, IST, LST.  So you begin to get...

Hello FIZZiKal I think you have misunderstood what was being said in the brief First "So basically I've wasted 6+ months completing the POET course to be for the lack of better terms 'screwed'."  You are actually ahead because to be a CIS (old LCIS) you still need to do POET or what ever the...

Here is the DWAN link for the Official Site for ACISS http://aws.kingston.mil.ca/Projects/ACISS/Communication/ACISS%20Structure%20Overview1/Home.aspx On here are the survey results for who is what Also a FAQ Page And contact emails ref questions on ACISS.  You will not get a reply but each...

Today at CFSCE the two new ACISS Courses, Sig QL3s and Sig Op QL5s and a LCIS crse were brief by the MES Manager MWO Buffett on ACISS. Interesting Points 1. The date we official beome ACISS is actually 1 Apr 11 2. Recruting Centers are still recruting Sig Ops, Linemen and LCIS until 1 Apr when...

I must admit that when I heard that we all mite not get spec pay I was a little ticked off.  I thought of maybe submitting a memo to go from ACISS Core to IST.  Then I though about it - how much do I really know about servers, routers,switches, networkgates with the career path I had have.  I...
