    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    I think its odd that current Sig Ops are up in arms with the "apparent" announcement that the Core branch will not receive Spec pay.  I mean, you didn't get spec pay Dec 31.. what magically happened (other than a name change) on Jan 1st?  Did your micro market courses suddenly become national...

    no probs. Not looking forward to Jan 1 2011.  It will take some time for the dust to settle on this one. Cheers,

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    To clarify your clarification.  SigOps will not have a choice of ACISS core or one of the other specializations as you imply.  SigOps will not be transferred into CST or LST.  SigOps will be transferred into the ACISS core, or IST.  To add more clarification.... Current lineman will be...

    Camp Mirage Superthread

    I am glad we are not bowing to the demands of the UAE. But slightly worried about where ( or IF ) I will be flying to next week when I am ( currently) scheduled to fly into theatre.

    So a LCIS tech Cpl (spec 1) , incentive 4 at $5362 a month who looses spec pay will have to wait until he is promoted WO (standard) at $5728 to receive his first pay raise....  ( A Sgt IPC 4 in the standard pay bracket receives $5351) NICE !

    Comtacs and the TCCCS system.

    We are trying to change the culture of modifications to suit personal needs without regard for why the vehicle is designed the way it is. A TCI course would really open your eyes. But, for now I suggest a little research on emission testing.  Communication suites are electronically designed to...

    Comtacs and the TCCCS system.

    Please stop your illegal modifications. March yourself to your local MP det and ask for a room for the evening. I dont want to hear how "everyone does it".  You have successfully compromised the security of your vehicle, and potentially the entire CF. ( I cannot go into detail how ) I will...

    Folding of the Canadian flag at a funeral for CF member

    I was wondering if anyone has a link (internet) to show the proper folding of the flag to be presented to NOK. I was sent a link from my RSM however, the link is only available on the DWAN.  Unfortunately, I may have to get together members tomorrow (sunday) and teach them the folding.  I was...

    HA bonus - am I being ripped off?

    Yes, thank you. It did get sorted out, but it took my clerk in KAF to do it. As soon as she saw my pay screen she noticed I was entitled to HA bonus and she fixed it.

    Problems with Joining

    Here is my story. My two best friends and I all decided in our last year of high school that we were going to join the army. (we were all heavily into army cadets etc.) so, we went to the recruiting center together for info. My one buddy Chris decided a few days later that he wasn't going to...

    Medal Query about KAF

    The link you gave was for the NON-Article 5.  I am referring to the ARTICLE 5.  Those are two different gongs all together.

    Medal Query about KAF

    I was there this past Nov and Dec and hung out with a couple of the Flight Line security guys. (both Canadian reserve infantry) They told me that they will be receiving the NATO Article 5 medal.  (I can also tell you they were not too pleased about it) The flight line security along with some of...

    HA bonus - am I being ripped off?

    Thanks for all your hard work, I really appreciate it !  I realize you have better things to do than to sort out my personal pay questions. (especially when there is supposed to be someone at my own unit doing it)  Now that I have some knowledge ammo I will go back to my clerk.  I just wanted...

    HA bonus - am I being ripped off?

    he CBI for HA Bonus says points are calculated based on months in operation. I realize that since 23 July 2003, a convenient way for a clerk to figure out if a member was on operation is to count the number of months in receipt of OP FSP. I am just saying that prior to 23 July, (before OP FSP...

    HA bonus - am I being ripped off?

    I am having trouble understanding why Bosnia time after 23 July 03 counts towards HA Bonus and not the time before. During my entire time on ROTO 12 we collected hardship allowance.. I apparently "assumed" that HA bonus was a bonus awarded to those with previous hardship allowance tours. So...

    HA bonus - am I being ripped off?

    I am heading to the sandbox ( 6 month tour) in about a month and I have a question that needs clarification from the switched on admin types here. I recently had my meeting with the deployed ops cell at my unit and we went over my pay etc for my tour. I inquired why at the bottom of my...
