Thanks for the info, I had my interview today at the recruiter.

Hey everyone; I have my interview this week for my componet transfer from P Res (Infantry) to ACS Tech. My Questions are: 1. What is the trade course like in Borden? 2. Is there demand for the trade right now (Maybe more due to the new C-17's and possible F-35 purchase) 3. How long would it...

A friend of mine told me that there is away to request a pension buyout, I'm just curious if anyone has heard of this? I plan on getting out of the CF soon and have about 21 months of class "C" time plus 10 years of  reserve service. I know about the Severance Pay but has anyone heard of how...

I took MOD 1 and MOD 4 a few years ago and I have just been loaded on this years PLQ 1-5 course. My question is if I have to retake them? My MPRR says I have MOD's 1&4 but my OPs Officer seems to think they expire after one year. Is this true? I though they were broken into MODs so that you...

So PuckChaser & JSR OP, since you seem to have a clue as to whats going on.. What would the process be like once I show up in Kingston?

I asked the Wo in Ottawa and he said to "Check out the job descriptions on the CF recruiting web site" but im pretty sure the recruiting web site isn't up to date?

I'm in the process of doing a component transfer to Line Technician and I just got an email from the Component Transfer Section in Ottawa saying that I have to go for an interview at my local recruiting centre to start the process for “MOSID 00110 LCIS TECH - TEC SICT”   Does anyone know if...

I have been searching this site for info on Line Tech, and was wondering if lineman trade a good one in terms of getting a job down the road with a civy hydro company? To quote Lineman 38 Would this mean civy companies are more likely to look at a CF lineman over some kid who took a 2 year...

Anyone know how the Construction Technician trade is? Pros & Cons? I'd like to hear for someone in the job?

I used the Wasatch on tour; The rig worked great for my job/jobs; I started the tour as a rifleman for about the first month, I was able to carry 10 mags, 4 frags, medical kit, camel back and all the other little things flex-cuffs, MNVG's, GSR kits, ect. Then on the kick off of Op Medusa our...

  I wonder what the reaction was from the boys on the ground? I haven't seen any clips of him with the fighting soldiers, just the walking around timmies & the ball hockey court, but what about the troops outside of the wire doing the job, surely they could have told Dion his band of handshaking...

Also in my opinion; CP gear is poor quality for the cost, fine for a KFS holder not for killing gear.. :cdn:

I guess that the new Tim Hortons is going to counteract the CDS's fitter CF idea? I know our boys in the FOB's don't need doughnuts anyway, they are hard soldiers and can endure a tour without "fat pills". Besides it would suck to come home from war and your only war story is about the time...

The army family has lost a brother, a brother who’s honour we will continue to fight for.  Rest in peace soldier  :cdn: :salute: :cdn:

Just talk to the media.. Every time we get screwed by DND, either with lacking equipment or pay, good old CTV news comes to the rescue and runs the story until CDS Rick starts to fork out the dough. I’m pretty sure it’s the only way to fastball issues like this.    :cdn:

- Are they running their patrols out of a FOB? - Do we have any air support? (Drop the shy Hawks as a diversion) - M777 sounds great, until you get further then 40km then what? :cdn:

Thanks for all the info, I live in Ontario so it will probably be higher then everywhere else in Canada.. Or I could get an address in Quebec and pay next to nothing. :cdn:
