Bojangles,
Well your typical day depends on what job you get assigned and also what base you get assigned to. In a Brigade we do spend a fair amount of time in the field. When we are in garrison we spend time doing maintenance on our vehicles and equipment, we also spend alot of time on PT. We are actualy also usualy getting ready for or have just come in from the field. I cant talk for Edmonton (1CMBG) but Petawawa is a very busy squadron.Our CO loves training!..lol. Dont worry about experience, the school in Kingston will tech you the basics about radio theory and the systems we use and when you finaly get to a unit we will expand on it. As for the question about females; I see one every day ( my wife is a sig op

). Seriously we do have some females in this trade, you wont be alone. This trade is really varied, you can get into computers and IT or you can be an field type soldier. Partialy that is up to you and what paths you try to lean toward.Hope this answers a few of your questions and if you need any more info just drop me a line. This is a really cool trade so I hope you wind up liking your "second" choice..lol

GDawg,
The problem (he says) was that SQ was being done at so many different bases that it was'nt standardized. The idea now is to have the units/brigades handle combat type training. 2 Sigs does do patrol training at the unit level.
