Kevin Pascal said:I strongly suggest that the young folks joining today do some research and select the right trade for themselves right from the start.
CDN Aviator said:And there is nothing wrong with people changing trades a few times either. I'm on my second MOC right now and my experiences in it have lead me to put in my paperwork for a third. It was never a question of my first ( or current) trade not being "right" for me. having a good time is what lead me to think i could try something new.

Shamrock said:He's like 1800 years old. Still about average for a CWO.

Is he also your unit's CWO/RSM?.. can't see him becoming a CWO any other way...
Changes are in the works within the bands.Steel Badger said:Many Reserve Unit's bands are separate units or at least have / had separate UIC's. This may be the reason they have CWO's in the PM role and Drummy as an MWO. It may also be a by-product of the tendancy to employ musicians at working ranks of Sgt and above.
I remember working alongside the RCA band ( Regular Force) in '94. As memory serves the Band had 50 some odd pers. They had a CWO, 2-3 MWO, a raft of WO and Sgts, plus the odd MCPL or two. The working rank appeared ot be Sgt.
