    VEH TECH QL3 backlog for PRes at CFSEME?

    It will take awhile longer to train a Res DP1 Veh tech. The new modular system "makes sense" but we won't know until it is validated. The Wpns Techs are going through the same growing pains. I believe this summer is the first year for this with only CET and CETT being covered. Only DP2 legacy...

    Have your boss forward your name up the chain to your Ops and Training Pers to be nominated through MITE. That is how most courses get loaded unless they come down as a fastball.

    Does anyone still consider Artillery an area weapon?

    Wow, get a guy where it hurts. As an EO tech and one who loves working on Arty Kit I felt a slight sting in that comment.LOL. I've worked with the GMS system since just after it's infancy and know that it can have issues. Sadley alot of them are operator induced error and sometimes cannot be...

    Sailors don't wear CADPAT direction by CANFORGEN

    The EME Branch has been a hard and fast member of the Army for a few years now. Our school even falls under the CTC CoC, and not CFSTG like the other schools in Borden. We are not purple, but still support the Army kit and equipment used by all elements and branches.

    110V outlet in Coyote

    Don't ask a mechanic, ask an EO Tech. Most likely you will be told that it cannot be done as this is an illegal mod to the vehicle, no matter how small.

Before my time in uniform, whilst scuba diving in Okanogan Lake under the floating bridge in Kelowna, I found a WWII 60mm mortor round at 110ft. At...

    West Coast Trail Trip via DND

    A goods start is to read the policy and guidlines for adventure training. I think it is still a CFAO. As the West Coast Trail is a challenging and rewarding physical activity, it falls within the guidlines to apply for funding as a Adventure Training activity. I planned a trip for my unit in...

    All soldiers, except the padre, deploy operationally with an issued weapon. Some members of an EME recovery det or MRT (mobile repair team) could even be issued a pistol as well. How many shooting irons, and the type you get is determined by the job you will be doing, and in most cases...
