What vehicles do they cover on the traffic tech 3's course?

I've been in an Reserve infantry unit for 18 years. I recently changed trade to RMS Clerk. Last week in opted to transfer Reg Force as a Traffic Tech (asked for Air Force). I've been working full time with my unit for 6 years and my Aptitude Test, BFT and medicals are all up to date. I have my...

Any suggestions for a first posting for someone who wants to deploy and travel?

Any suggestions or comments on good/bad places to be posted? I'd like to get the opportunity to deploy and travel.

Is there any advantages or disadvantages between Traffic Tech Air Force and Army?

I did my pre-training for Bosnia with 1R22ER and they punted a guy from my unit because he didn't speak any french. Of course they didn't tell him that as it was not a pre-requisite for the tour so they went back 4 months and wrote him up for a bunch of little things that added up in the end...

I wasn't`t really talking about myself since I have already started a transfer to the reg force but rather for all the reservists that were in the same boat as me at 25 CFSD. In 18 months, between a class B at 25 CFSD and working at my unit I have racked up over 90 days of work. That`s unpaid...

Not just the civilian world. The CF itself. Roughly 15 guys from my unit, maybe 30 or so from other units and I were on class B for 18 months with 25 CF Supply Depot here in Montreal. We were doing forklift work, inventory and whatever other warehouse jobs. I had to fight tooth and nail to get...

I can't believe this thread is still going on. I'd rather see people wearing course t-shirts proudly showing off what they have accomplished than t-shirts with Snoop Doggy Dogg and marijuana leaves.

I find it hilarious hearing the old guys rant about the youngsters with their small packs. I don`t know how many old guys I`ve seen pack up all their military gear from rucksacks and combat boots to rain gear, cots and sleeping bags just to go camping, hunting, hiking or fishing. As for...

When I was in cadets my corps got the regimental cook to come out on ex with us. He brought with him these portable stoves with small tanks beneath them. Much stronger than any Coleman stove. Maybe some cook on this site can help you identify them. They looked a lot like the ones used in field...

Thanks for the link but it seems pretty vague. If I were to take it at face value then cadets would not be allowed to carry weapons period. But where is the link for cadets carrying weapons on parade? Where is the link for cadets being allowed to shoot on a conventional range exercise? (As...

They can't use the C7s because of the tritium in the scope? But they are allowed to shoot on ranges with us?!? So is it safe to assume that if the regiment wanted to bring out senior cadets, say 15-18 years old, and equip them with C7s or C9s without scopes to give them the "feel" of what would...

I have a friend who was working with a reg force unit (25 CFSD) and severely hurt his back one day but because he was on a class B contract of less than 90 days the MIR wouldn`t treat him. We had to take him to a civilian clinic. While employed with a unit, any unit, you should be medically...

That's what I heard too. Is there an official reference to that? I was thinking of maybe getting the cadet corps seniors to follow along the regiment for a day. For example, the cadet RSM follows along the regiment's RSM, the Cadet CQ can work with the CQ at the regiment and the cadet WO could...

I'm curious to know if cadets while on exercise are allowed to carry a C7 or a C9, with or without blank ammo. Are they allowed to go on a range exercise and shoot with their respective regiment? Is there an official refence to this somewhere. I ask because I once saw a CIC Captain march onto...

I can name a few. My regiment supports two army cadet corps and one air cadet squadron. Each corps has a sergeant assigned to it as Cadet Liaison Officer (CLO) as a secondary or tertiary duty. They act as a link between the cadet corps and the regiment. However budget cuts and the fact that...

Here's a few I heard at my unit "There's two types of plugs in this army Pte Bloggins, the ones you stick in a wall and the ones that wear little green uniforms" - Pl WO "Never trust a corporal with a CD or a major without one." - A major to a young 2lt. "Don't piss in my ear and tell me it's...

I`ve been in the RMR since 1995.
