While I can only speak for ACISS, I am sure the other trades are similar. You will receive a certificate upon completion of trades training but it will not be of any use to you with civilian employers. Having a piece of paper saying you are "ACISS IST DP 1.1" qualified won't mean anything to a...

Do you mean the Loyal Eddies? 1. Reserve units do their own recruiting you will need to talk to them directly. 2. BMQ (basic training) may be offered full time or on weekends depending on the needs of the unit. Going forward, not all many courses are full time only. It is your responsibility...

We can not afford to fall any further behind China in the female model arms race. It is all our duty to impress upon the government that the model gap must be closed.

What mail are you expecting to receive? Get a data plan for your phone, switch to electronic billing, and pay everything online. After BMQ you will be posted to a base for PAT, where depends on your trade. If your wait is long enough you may end up at another base for OJT or tasked elsewhere...

I believe they have been out of production for 30 years now. The USAF, while crazy rich, does have a finite amount of money and supporting a 30+ year old air frame is expensive. Their logic being: it will only get more expensive to support this plane that can only do one thing. Granted it does...

Two boxes and bubble wrap? That is a lot of room to take up. A Pelican 1060 Micro Case starts at about $30 on Amazon. I think that is the one I have. I can fit Munchkin, two expansions and a deck of cards in there. Even if that is too small, take a look around there are a lot of options much...

Take the cards with you. You may not get a chance to use them on BMQ but after that you will most likely goto PAT and have a lot of time to kill while waiting for trades training. You may even get some use out of them after that. On my QL3s we were not allowed electronics for the first few...

I don't believe that is the case. The career manager certainly had access to mine and I don't see how the career shop would merit pers without being able to see their PERs(all jokes about them doing their job simply by throwing darts at a wall, aside). Edit: Additionally, if Cpl PERs don't...

While I thank you for the vote of confidence, we aren't quite that good. Our record for a setup in the field is under four hours but to expect that every time is unreasonable. As a planning figure, plan for about five and a half hours from when the first packet rolls into the area until LCSS is...

That is complicated, in broad terms: The ACISS trade is split into 4 sub trades (5 really but CISTM doesn't count and just confuses things): Core - Radio Operators - Operate the Army's radios, if it is painted green we use it to communicate with someone else. IST - Computer Geeks - Service all...

AVAMs is a week long course that should be compressed into a day or two at most. It does not take a week to teach someone how to check blind spots and tell the driver they are clear to proceed at a stop sign. In fact, if I had my way it wouldn't even be a formal qualification. One of the...

Today's requirements to enter a trade may be the same as those 5-7 years from now. No one can tell you what the prerequisites will be for a trade half a decade from now.

So, sometime next week then, eh?  :whistle:

Holy wall of text, Batman! If anyone doubted you wanted to be an Officer they have been corrected. Seriously though, welcome aboard. And while she does indeed hold both jobs, I think it much more likely you swore an oath to the Queen of Canada, not the Queen of England. An important distinction.

If you are interested in the Sigs world why switch to infantry? There are lots of interesting jobs for non-Officer types and the chance to lead people in the Signals Corps. Plus there is always the chance to commission later in your career if you still want to be an Signals Officer.

Seen. Sometimes, I forget that the PRes operates under different constraints than the Reg Force. I imagine you guys are even more budget constrained than we are. So I'll bet it is hard to get your hands on the few pieces of IT resources allocated to the Bde. You might try talking to your...

Tablets are, generally, quite fragile. Also, they don't run well in the cold, can not be subject to wet conditions and do not have the battery life to sustain long term use. The ones that do all these things are quite expensive. Besides, why spend money buying tablets when the CF already...
