Hi,
New to the forum and looking for some info for my OT.
Currently DP2 (QL5) Qualified weapons tech (Land)
Really hoping to get some info from the horses mouth on this one.
Just have a few general questions regarding the trade
-I've seen alot of duties on the recruitment site that seem like ramp work (i.e de-icing,towing,marshalling,refueling, etc.) . Just wondering if this is in a typical work day or if they just throw it in there because it's potentially a duty?
-What percentage would you say the trade spends in a workshop environment?( i.e benchwork , disassembly,troubleshooting)
-Is Cold lake as bad as it seems? i have 2 kids under 2 and i'm pretty strapped for cash now , even being on the east coast.
-What would be the best base to begin OJT after my QL3? I'm interested in jets and choppers, but prefer the jets
Any help would be great , as well as some follow ups as i continue to learn more about the trade.
P.S my BPSO meeting is scheduled after the christmas holiday
Cheers,
