    Clearance level for Sig Op and Officer

    You don't need your Lvl III to do BMQ. You also don't need it to complete QL3 trades training.

    Qualifications for Comm Research Operator

    I would think Res Comm Rsch would be a good prerequisite trade. Of course you would have to live in the Kingston area to join 772 EW Sqn.

    I'm curious, could someone please explain what a press check is?

    Inspections While Living in the Shacks

    I lived in the shacks in Wainwright for 6 months and the only time my room was inspected was when I cleared out. It was a simple laid back inspection, I had to vacuum under the coffee table a second time and that is it. Do not expect crazy fold your underpants into a square type inspections...

    MCpl John Xaysy, Royal Highland Fusiliers, 23 August 2007

    It was a sad day at work today. I only met MCpl Xaysy once or twice, but in those few meetings, he gave me the impression of being a really great guy. I remember talking to him about how he was angry when he couldn't store his motorcycle in the basement any more. That gave me a good laugh. He...

    Soldier sentenced for staying in bed during fight

    I read this story on the DIN a few days ago. Buddy disobeyed orders and even tried to make another do the same. In my opinion he got what he deserved and I hope his appeal fails. What a disgusting example of a soldier.

    AN/PRC 117

    Well, I'm glad he found what he was looking for. And like I said, I was not trying to be mean or anything, I was just pointing it out in case he didn't get a response. Anyways, good luck over there and stay safe SuperSlug.

    AN/PRC 117

    If you have not found anything yet, I think I have some notes and the aide memoire on the 117 kicking around at work. PM me. BTW, not to be an ass or anything, but you're quoting a year and a half old post. ;D

    Question- is the WES headset compatible with the Skydex/Oregon Aero helmet kit?

    You will have no problem. The GPS antenna and six sensors are attached via a web type thinger that sits on your head like a 4 armed starfish, there are elastic and adjustable straps jobbies to keep it tight on your helmet. That is the word for word technical definition. ;) Be advised, I once...

    Basic Training Kit List

    The khaki towel should be issued kit. Also, if you are a minor, no problem, have a juice instead.

    Basic Training Kit List

    The khaki shirt is actually the green t-shirt you wear under your combat shirt, you get three issued to you. Don't go out a buy and khaki coloured shirt. BTW, if your having problems packing just use your common sense. If something such as a towel is repeated on the list don't bring 16 damn...

    Comm Res No More?

    +1 Also a good point. Situational awareness of a battlespace (or a domestic emergency space for that matter) is an important skill for Sig Ops. The trg we currently do does nothing to help that skill. Supporting other units does.

    Comm Res No More?

    I'm sorry, but I'll have to disagree. It would be nice if we could have aid to civil power exercises where we worked w/ civilian agencies but in reality that does not happen, at least not at my end. As of right now our aid to civil power exercises involve, as I've said before, setting up a...

    Comm Res No More?

    Excellent point. That is in fact what we have been focusing on recently. But, even w/ DOMOPS we still should be doing more then going R/C // L/C over and over again on ex. The only time we seem to do that is when we support other units. We are very different from Victoria, they focus on TTCC...

    Comm Res No More?

    I honestly have no idea why it is the way it is but, besides the annual Bde level ex, we rarely support other unit exercises. It is unfortunate because I find that to be the most effective trg. I'm hoping that being a Bde asset instead of a separate entity will change this.

    Comm Res No More?

    This is somewhat what I was trying to get at in my original post. In my experience (BC Comms Unit) we've rarely been involved with anything but ourselves, maybe 1 or 2 support ex's in a trg year. As to the factors that caused this I have no idea, I'm just a lowly Signalman w/ a rudimentary grasp...

    Comm Res No More?

    I've heard some RUMINT recently from friends at multiple Com Res units that basically states the Communication Reserve as we know it is no longer. As the rumor goes, we are no longer our own separate little organization and now fall under Land Force command w/ units from the respective Comm Gp's...
