    Electronic-Optronic Technician ( EO Tech )

    I believe there is a possability for retired qualified FCS (EO) Techs to find positions in a reserve unit. They are probably only available in the Res Svc Bn. You will need to do most if not all of the leg work for getting acceptance in this position as there are no Res EO Tech positions in the...

    Rental situation in Wainwright

    Hello everyone, I am wondering, with the large influx of people posted to Wainwright how is the rental market.... or is there a rental market. I am single but owned a house before re-enlisting so I have a house full of furniture and I do not want to even think about SQ. Apartments, houses, if...

    Cambrian Patrol 2005

    The BCR put a team in the 2000 patrol, we did not medal either and I must agree with you that the experience was worth every second. As for you questions: There must be an Officer as team leader, this is more for leason purposes with the British Army than anything else. Our team was commanded...

    The C7 Assault Rifle, M16, & AR15 family (C7A1, C7A2, C7 replacment, and C7 vs M16)

    C7A2 - I would prefer to see a 16" barrel on the stnd lower as opposed to the collapsible lower on the stnd upper, personal choice. I have seen some terrific scores w/ 16" barrels, I believe that the standard 5.56mm rnd develops its optimum internal ballistics in a 20" barrel. So there should...

    9mm Browning Replacement

    Pistols - An American shooting guru by the name of ?????? Cooper once stated, " if you want to shoot a handgun well you need two things, a good 45 ACP and a boxcar full of ammo". Although the first point is and will always be a subject of endless debate the later are sage words. The ONLY way to...

    Better pay for skilled personnel one way to lure recruits to forces

    Spec Pay - yes this is intended to be an inducement for techs and some operators/MP's to stay in after they are fully trades qualified. It seems that spec pay is being included in more and more trades. Don't get me wrong I get spec pay but at some point it isn't much of an incentive if everyone...

    Storage Question

    I am on my way to Borden soon and I was hoping I could get some help with information about storage facilities in Angus or there abouts. I realize there are storage rooms in the mods but I am looking for something away from the military system for the storage of things like SCUBA tanks, which...

    TAC HEL

    UAVs hold much promise both now and in the future. The low unit cost, relative to manned A/C along w/ the ability of any element to be able to utilize them any time they want to is a real plus. IMHO I think we will see a much greater utilization of UAVs for both surv and att in the future. I...

    sigs vs. infantry

    For an electronics trade, in the Army, you have two choices, LCIS or FCS. These are the only two "electronics" trades. Many others deal with the operation of electronics equipment i.e. RadOp but when it comes to maintaining the stuff these are your choices. If you are willing to venture out of...

    We are driving good soldiers out of the Army

    All mbrs of the Army MUST have the skills reqd to operate and defend themselves in the field; therefore everyone requires the requisite training. While I do not agree w/ Radioheads view as to what he is in the Army to do, I do think that we must temper this with a sense of realism. All pers...

    Reservist Roles?

    Just to be clear even though I am a member of the Reg force I am a strong proponent of the Reserves, having come from the reserves and worked as a Cl B/A reservist for more than three years as a Regt. Ops NCO, a BMQ/SLQ instructor in WATC etc. I look on the reserves as a team... if you expect a...

    Reservist Roles?

    Brad "Do you mean only 25% are available to pack up and go Right now" Yes I mean that statistically, for a unit of 100 pers, only 25 of them will be deployable on call. Be this because of med/dent, fin, pers problems. Lack of primary quals, unable to lve work/school, etc, etc. Basically if you...

    hand guns

    I remember, a while back it was stated that lab rats got cancer from drinking milk, they drank an equivalent of more than 4 litres per day for more than 10 years.......... As a proud SIG P-226 owner I can say that I have stuffed just about anything I can get my hands on down the throat of that...

    Reservist Roles?

    Further to my last post I would submit this proposal: I read this in the past and it made sense to me, the concept of having an "unlimited liability" reserve category. This posn would only be available to fully qual QL4 or QL5 as the case may be troops on a strictly voluntary basis. They would...

    Reservist Roles?

    Having recently come to the regular force from the reserves I would have to dispute your claim that the social club no longer exists in the reserves. I will agree that it does not exist in the Jr ranks of the NCOs and Officers, however in the Snr ranks, with exceptions, the social club is...
