"My preference would be Weapons" Good choice, I spent 30 years a a Weapons Controller, and 3 years as an instructor at CFSACO(2006-2009).  I retired a couple of years ago, and never thought I'd miss it as much as I do. Best of Luck

"100-some days at CFSACO" I spent 3 years at CFSACO as an instructor.  It is a great place, and it is a great occupation.  I was recently told CFSACO will be moving to Borden in a couple of years, too bad.

That's great news.  Good luck to you both.

In a canforgen today there was another AEC promoted to BGen, but it wasn't the one that was rumored.  Apparently the one rumored is still a 'go'.  Now I know for most occupations having four generals is certainly nothing impressive, but AEC hasn't been an operational occupation for long and 10...

This debate/discussion has been going on for a long time, but with some of the recent promotions, appointments and other activity in our occupations, I believe the merger of the two occupations will now happen before I retire. Any thoughts, or am I still crazy? Just after posting this a few...

In addition to the above purpose of the NOAB, it is also an opportunity for the candidate to be sure the Navy will be a good fit for him/her.  The bottom line is, it's better to be sure you want what is being offered rather than decide in BMOQ, or in any phase of classification trg that you have...

The question asks the number of soldiers in comparison to the number of sailors, not to the total of the two.  So since there are 4/5ths as many sailors as soldiers and the total number is 27, I would do the question by the process of elimination.  I would start with 13 sailors and 14...

The truck was spotted in Gagetown in Oct 2006: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/51635.0.html

Depending on how much info you need, you could find most answers by searching here. Yes, we deploy but I am not sure I understand what you mean by 'what did that look like' I have been an AEC for over 28 years, and spent 3 years in recruiting and don't see similarity between us and MARS.  As...

Yes, there are two positions there.  427 SOAS SATCO, and CSOR JTAC Instructor.  The first is a VFR position, the second is a JTF deployable position(currently filled by an ANAV).

What the conservatives have done is brilliant(I'm not saying I support it).  They put forward an 'economic update' with part of it being eliminating the political party funding formula.  The media reported that the opposition parties intended to vote against the 'update', not because of the...

It will usually take more than a year before you will be posted somewhere your family can join you.  You will do basic training(approx 3 months), you will go somwhere on OJT(3-6 months or more, depends on how many students waiting trg).  While you are on OJT, you will take a 60 day Distance...

No problem, I actually like working spreadsheets(did lots in recruiting).  You may be right, I may have missed a few flying positions, but I do remember including some EW positions although I'm not sure which sqn they showed up under. You are correct, there has been tension between the...

Neilio: Basically you are correct.  It is my understanding that the first 'non-weapons' person just went on rotation to Afganistan.  My real message(advice) to you is not to make plans before you complete your basic course.  It is a tough course, and looking to what you would like to do in a few...

In a nutshell, Yes Prince Harry is an "Air Weapons Controller".  Maybe we should invite him to our next mess dinner as the guest speaker? The following are quotes from British newspaper articles: "Cornet Wales begins training as a JTAC (joint terminal attack controller) - also referred to as a...
