What I'm taking away from the plan is that it's intended to be skilled entry only, but who knows.

If there are any other interested parties - The 17-18 Defence Policy has a handful of interesting points regarding the Cyber Operator occupation in Reserve context: "Assign Reserve Force units and formations new roles that provide full-time capability to the Canadian Armed Forces through...

Congratulations. Give yourself a pat on the back for me. I've administered and architected enterprise networks from the ground up and executed large scale domain and exchange migrations. Ive implemented SCCM, Puppet, and SharePoint projects. Again, those piped into IST should have a similar...

You're entitled to your opinion, and so am I. I'm of the opinion that we can add value to the CF through education and skills that already exist. To not leverage that because we can't afford some networking equipment, servers and a few racks is absurd. The equipment required can easily be...

Calm down, everything's going to be ok. 1. What are we going to do all day? In a Class A sense, training and exercise. I'm sure you could have figured that out on your own without resorting to throwing a tantrum. 2. "They don't have TSLs, MTs or classified networks to administer. Massive...

Thanks for that. It would be nice to see this make its way to the Reserve side of the house, but I have my doubts, since we couldn't even get IST for some reason beyond my comprehension.

Where would one find that on the dwan?

Have you had a look at Comms Research? That might be what you're looking for. http://www.forces.ca/en/job/communicatorresearchoperator-29 "Collect, process, analyze and report on electromagnetic activity on radio frequency, using highly sophisticated equipment Manage and protect computer...

As others have said, you alone are responsible for your choices, and the last thing a prospective Junior Officer should be doing is passing the buck. Regarding fitness, do some HIIT workouts at home. There's no equipment required and there are all kinds of videos on YouTube...

I fall into that category, and it's going to take a lot more than that signing bonus for me to switch sides. If you're a good network or systems admin the standard pay rate just isn't a reasonable offer for your skills and experience. To recruit good IST's it's going to take Spec 1.

Don't forget the 20K (two payment) signing/CT bonus.

All trades are accepted, and no it's not confined to the east coast.

Binrat, all valid points, but couldn't the same be said of pushing Army pers through some Naval and Air training? Surely, it wouldn't hurt (much), and could conceivably be beneficial. My point being - where's the line? Granted, it never hurts to learn a new skill, except in fiscal terms and in...

Net+ is pretty basic, if you're interested in networking I'd strongly recommend picking up the CCNA books authored by Wendell Odom, you can get both books as a package. I'd recommend installing Packet Tracer as well to practice. Also, CBT Nuggets has an exceptional video series for CCNA. Their...

Sorry for the necro, this one's pretty old, but it seems to be the best thread for this. How does Acting-Lacking appointment to MCpl work in the P Res? Who is the deciding authority on this / is it a Unit level decision, or does it go higher? I am inquiring about the P Res specifically, but I'm...

All in good spirits. No animosity intended. I'm sure he knows that. >:D

Thanks Tunetog, I appreciate the info. Good luck! Eye, what's it like flying with your panties bunched so tightly?  ;)

I submitted it yesterday. Let the waiting begin! Who should I be occasionally nudging to keep things moving? Any idea how many Reg F OT's you're competing with? Or P Res CT/OT numbers? My understanding is that they're different pools, so you and I wouldn't be competing regardless, if I'm...

After much deliberation I decided to submit my CT/OT for AES Op. Can anyone confirm current CT(UT) numbers? The data I found on DWAN says 2 CT(UT) and 6 DE for FY15/16. Not exactly a confidence boost. Finally, can anyone recommend ways in which I can strengthen my application? I have a...

"Related experience", one might say... ;)
