We are part of the crew during missions.  I thank everybody for pointing me in the direction I need to go to formulate something up that I can forward up the chain for consideration.  I have to say though, im a little disapointed in a few posts here that did nothing to contribute to the original...

Yes we do...thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

LOL!!!!............thank you for bringing a little levity to this!......

Thats just it...........I, or I should say we, dont get crew rest.....so as an example, I arrive back in Canada on a Thursday at 6 pm after flying 14 plus hours (too many time zones to count and crossing the international date line) and I have to be into work on Fri, but the crew I worked with...

I work the same hours as the crew does.....at times, maybe an hour or so more.  Sometimes, the crew are waiting for me/us on the bus as we finish up what needs to be done. Im also looking at other Sqn's orders pertaining to this issue, which I stated in my 3rd post of this topic.  Im hoping...

Thanks a ton MCG!.......that's what I needed.

Ok.....AGAIN, the point is NOT getting time off.  Go read the thread again.....i'm asking for clarification on WHEN said ETO's can be used..............

Short answer.......ask a recruiter.  They have a list that spells out every school, province by province that are deemed acceptable.

CountDC, thanks for the response.  Actually getting the ETO's is not an issue, its the seemingly weekly changes on when we can use said ETO's thats becoming an issue.  I do fully realize that we're paid 24/7 but  some of our days can be up to an 18 hour day and requires flying, yet we're not...

Yes thats the problem........we dont and trying to incorporate a Sqn out of Trenton's policy is getting lukewarm results....

Thanks for the link!  I know its not leave per say, just looking at a situation I'm in and would like to see if there is anything out there for direction. Is ETO even recognized anymore, or does it fall under "Special Leave"? As an example..........I'm a day worker, Monday to Friday with...

Can anyone point me in the direction on where I can find directives on ETO's?  I'm specifically looking for guidelines on usage of days and whether or not you can be "forced" to use accumulated time off. thanks

George, there are no advantages or disadvantages.  As a Navy Leading Seaman, you may find yourself in a field platoon, or an air force base.........it doesn't matter.  Nor does it matter that your a Leading Seaman and the other guy is a Corporal, your still the same rank.  You'll be doing the...

Actually, I wear OPD because im ordered to wear OPD....not because it "looks cool" or strokes my ego and makes me "any better" than the rest of the forces......because believe me, it doesn't.  Personally, i'd much rather be wearing CADPAT but I do what i'm told......period.  So I wear...

Not exactly the information I was looking to read.  I'm interested in commissioning as an Int O sometime in the very near future and this may effectively "kybosh" me  for some time.

i'm 0-21 now.  My boss just won the 3D television package.

I had a real estate agent come to my house the other day and ask me if I was selling anytime soon or if I knew anyone selling as he has buyers waiting so I dont think selling will be much of an issue.

I live in Niverville and only once since i've been here has the outer ring dike been closed.  Even then it was on the west side of the town, making the commute into the city a little longer.  The commute itself is about 40 minutes and for myself, the drive home is my wind down.  There's not much...

can they change the config's in 2 weeks?...........anyways.  I guess it really doesnt matter.  What were we originally talking about with this thread anyways?.............lol

I didnt obtain any pictures but I know it was 03...........half the seats, large forward cargo area..plus I was down in the avionics section and walked into the front belly cargo area and saw the big fuel tank.  Sorry I cant be anymore help gents.  Only reason why I know it was 03 is we were...
