I dont know what horror stories you have heard but I will tell you this. I have been a ACS tech for over 12 years and I have only deployed overseas 1 time and the only reason I got to go was due to my experience. So with that in mind I would not even think of you having the chance to deploy...

going overseas will depend on a few things but since you are still looking at signing up I would not worry about it right now. You wont even be deployable as an ACS tech for at least 3 years because you still have to do your TQ3 course (either at Borden or a Civilian college), finish your...

what you do will depend on the base/aircraft you work on. For example if you work on the hercs you will do mostly metal working. The machining part of the trade for the most part is a specialty that you will take a extra course on then you will be employed in a machine shop after that for a year...

there is some restructuring of trades being done in the air force one being that the ACS trade will take over ALSE (or they will take over us depending how you look at it) and our trade will grow from around 390 to over 800. 

I think You could get posted there as a TQ3 as long as there is a position available.

I dont have a clue about the NCM SEP program but I can tell you that the ACS trade will more then double in size over the next few years.

NDT is a trade all on its own, if you have "tickets" for NDT im sure you could get time credited to you and possibly go directly into it after basic if you Quals meet the requirements of a NDT TQ3

What you read refers to courses that we can take once we are a ACS tech working at a unit, for example the special metals welding course, the advanced composite course or the advanced machining course. As a ACS tech you will learn Metal working, Machining and refinishing ( you probably already...

I dont think you could go direcly into a trade unless you have all the qualifications required to do that job, they might credit you some time so you can be promoted to Cpl early based on the qualifications you have that are directly related to the trade you chose. For example if you are a...

once you are done Basic and you head up to Borden you will be able to bring you family with you. It is hard to say the availability of the PMQ's in Borden things are always changing . After you are done in Borden and get posted to a Sqn it is hard to say how much you will deploy some places are...

OldSolduer you are correct they did keep a count of the ammo issued, One of his peers was at the first trial but the judge would not allow him to testify. If he is allowed to testify at the next trial with any other of his peers who come forward the outcome will be very different I think.

Yes there is a demand right now, the trade is going to almost double in size over the next couple of years once we take over the ALSE shops.

I would not be surprised if it for a golf course, with everything that is planned for the base (around the runway) rumor is that they will have to close or move the golf course that is there now. It may sound stupid but it is a air force base after all. ;D

I am glad to hear, having worked with the person in question and knowing the truth I just hope that justice will be served on the next trial, People like him should be behind bars where they belong.

Osotogari you have a PM ref trial

Hopefully they will have another trial, I heard about the case after it started and I did serve there when he did in the same platoon and everything he said happend was all lies. he does not have PTSD and should be in jail for what he did.
