    Advice for a "rookie" please.

    Dearryan You'll find ATIS positions in various places on the west coast.  I can't speak for the posting process or ATIS requirements but keeping asking for Comox.  Esquimalt, Edmonton, Comox, and Cold Lake are major bases in the region.

    Question about terminology

    I'll wade into the waters... Referencing the initial post, the descriptions may represent semantics as you say.    One may refers to "non-secure communications" as WHAT it is and "insecure method..." as HOW it is presented. The term "scrambled", in a telecommunications context, is a very...

    MOASRT implications to 215?

    Signal-Man I don't personally have objective information about MOSART.   Its still obscure to alot of us specifically as to what it implies.   For additional information, check out this site: http://hr.ottawa-hull.mil.ca/mosart/engraph/home_e.asp From my limited understanding, many MOCs have...

    Religion in the Canadian Forces & in Canadian Society

    Check out this site. http://www.grazian-archive.com/quantavolution/QuantaSeries.htm "The Lately Tortured Earth" For conventionalists, both Darwinian and Religious, would balk at the idea of the moon forming 14,000 years ago.  Even if a portion of these theories hold true as scientific...

    The Big Black Hole Coming Soon

    GO!! and George As a subjective supplement to the OT/remustering statements, about 20% of my WTIS unit are remustered members, most are ex-combat arms.  A few went civilian too.  I can't speak for other units or bases.  Remustering does happen and it works in these cases.

    The Big Black Hole Coming Soon

    The blackhole mentioned earlier seems to be a result of the changes affecting recruiting and provisioning the CF. Since the late 1990s until 2004, the CF recruited heavily in semi-skilled and unskilled streams and provided entry plans for skilled streams.   In my own WTIS unit, many experienced...

    CFS Leitrim posting

    There are a number of LCIS/ATIS positions at CFS Leitrim.  I don't think you'l find much in the way of public information specific to Leitrim and its compliment breakdown.  From an LCIS perspective, Leitrim and all CF locations maintain general equipment relating to station communications...

    Work dress at 4 Wing / 1 AMS?

    Depending on your trade, position, and locations (1AMS is in a few bldgs), flight line is going CADPAT, maintenance is still in blue coveralls, and B-170 is a mixture of CADPAT and blues.  Theres a transition period for different units, but things are going CADPAT.  I figure they'll keep the...

    Canadians oppose tough, new role for the military, poll shows

    The article talked alot about the results of the poll.  I'd like to read the actual questions and get a sense of the poll's objectivity and direction.  I lean towards Kirkhill's perspective. Canadians are isolated from most of the world's severest problems and form detached opinions and...

    Allien abductions

    I don't know about you guys but this whole alien thing is creeping me out.  Sometimes though, there are logical explanations.  This is a true story. A few years ago, I had to repair a television transmitter.  I took off the top, looked down, and saw bread crust wedged in the corner of the...

    There is no weight specification in recruitment.  However, excess weight may affect performance during the fitness test.  The bottom line is applicant must pass the fitness test and be medically fit.

    Air Force's CADPAT name-tag & rank

    Until it changes, there are distinctive characteristic and cultural differences between the elements. Some units allow a standard of dress that may not be common in the wider military. I've seen specific ball caps and unit T-shirts being acceptable for dress of the day.  So what?  Depending of...

    Defending Canadian Arctic Sovereignty

    In all seriousness guys, you gotta take a trip up to Alert/Thule/Hans Island area.  Only then you will see how pointless the discussion is over Hans especially once the ice and winter sets in.  It is a rock, in the middle of nowhere, undefendable by both Canada and Denmark at present.  Future...

    Verification of Former Service (VFS) [Merged]

    Sorry Menion, I was referring to the CF general recruiting entry plans.   Prior military service and trade experience of the applicants is assessed on a case-by-case basis.   We might be referring to different things.  Wheres Kincanucks when you need him?

    Yeah, the description doesn't provide much context but its referring to the skilled recruit stream.

    Verification of Former Service (VFS) [Merged]

    There is no recruit school by-pass from my understanding.  Taken from another perspective, recruits (NCM) enter the reg forces under three streams; unskilled, semi-skilled, and skilled.  You can find info and criteria in the CF recruiting site.  The skilled stream are recruits who were members...
