Hello everyone. I am hoping someone out there is familiar with Restricted posting (Service Couple) Everybody calls it IR, but it isn't apparently. Anyway, I am posted to Comox, and my wife isn't. I am being told there is no requirement for a HHT as there are quarters available. Where can I find...

I'm sorry but it's driving me crazy... Definition of ORDNANCE 1 a : military supplies including weapons, ammunition, combat vehicles, and maintenance tools and equipment Definition of ORDINANCE 1 a : an authoritative decree or direction : order b : a law set forth by a governmental authority...

C'mon, if it was just another brigade, how come we had "SSF boots"? Man as a new Sapper with a set of green and tan DEU bloused , I loved those boots.... and the Jump smock- that was bling, before it was a buzzword.... 2 CER, 1988-1993, CAR 1993-1995

How some Outcasts spent their summer https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=7hPi-p_Bxwk 5 man SAR Crew and 2 IMP tech touring and training in the North.

that's funny I was just saying today maybe we should replace the Griffons in Trenton with US 101-  similar to Voyageur/Labrador  maybe?

1. Not too sure what you mean by "look @ the other TQ's" Mounain Dynamics teaches rope rescue to us on the QL (qual level) 5 and 6, used to be call TQ. Rigging for Rescue also provides training in between those 2 courses. 5 is basic course, 6 is Team Leader's course, several years later. 2. Our...

With the amount of effort you appear to be making rest assured you will come across as a very desirable applicant. Good luck.

Be a doctor.

selection courses are held annually. However- DE and CT positions are currently only provided when these positions cannot be filled internally.

Was really good, the parallels to Canada are pretty obvious. Took me a second or two to figure out how to engage the subtitles....I'm sure the rest of you are far more tech savvy than I

http://www.cbc.ca/ns/insidethenews/2012/03/all-in-a-days-work.html I did a double take- CBC? credit where credit is due

OK Guilty. I hope that we can get a deal from our neighbours, but hopefully they still conduct a competition. Price is after all only one factor, way cheaper but not appropriate is worse than getting nothing, because we are stuck with it for a looooong time. I have been woo'd by stats, but they...

this is the FWSAR thread....

concur. 300 km approx? 45 minutes flying time, just a guess... then you are 45 minutes further away from Lake Ontario.... and when a boat sinks the Canadian Coast Guard will be relieved that the RCAF is such an obvious scapegoat, just as the RCMP are silent when we are late to a ground SAR...

maybe more Chinooks... they would have to be yellow tho  ;D

OK. It is finally 100 per cent clear to me I have been wasting my time.  spend a few minutes researching the current fleet of SAR resources.  We currently use CH 149 and CH 146, CC115 and C130 aircraft for SAR ( and unfortunately  partly if not totally due to the prolonged and oft delayed FWSAR...

ytz- your argument goes around in circles. Sounds like what you want the RCAF to supersize the manning of SAR and create new bases. I am all for this. However, I am also a realist, and find it hard to believe there would be much appetite for increasing the number of personnel and adding more...

slow stable platform- like say a Cormorant?

ok. so you don't want the back end crew on oxygen, but want the mountainous region ( higher altitudes required for terrain clearance) to get an unpressurized aircraft? They get the same as they got. no gain. Give up on low slow visual search and get a modern aircraft with sensors. If Comox  get...

so  YZT-you think a slower plane will be better? New ( imagined) buffalo will only be pressurized in the cockpit- the work of SAR Happens in the back... sorry pilots, the bulk of the physical work. the dispatching of crew and equipment is low altitude, but preparing the equipment and personnel...
