How about those peacocks!  Those awful, screaming peacocks!  The noise, noise, noise.....  :crybaby: S6

Yes, the need is still great for Infantry officers too (all combat arms for that matter)!  Like Shelldrake said above, depending on your skills, fitness testing, etc.  your file should be processed relatively quickly as the Army wants to fill the Common Army Phase (CAP) serials as much as...

Good SITREP SemperFi!  Sounds like the Recruiting of Combat Engineers is going well for you.  Different story for different follks.  Would be interested in your updates as you go through SQ and MOC trg from a female's perspective.  Have a good one! S6

Mike, Brings back great memories!  Didn't think you still kept some bandwidth for this journalistic masterpiece of the late 90s! S6

Let me know in 3 days how it went over?  I thought she would be more interested in a posting to Edmonton!  ;) Chimo! S6

Joe, Talked to a couple of your graduates out in 1 CER this past week.  All said it was a well run course! How did the recce go for RB 07?  What's the concept going to be? S6.

Roger that. Sapper 6

Zombie, Thanks, but I was looking more for the timelines on 043 recruits.  Good to see your friend is starting training within 2 months of getting the call.  We need more of that if we are going to get more soldiers into the units. S6.

Springroll, Just curious, have you been told when you are going to start your training?  I'm interested in how long it takes to get to St-Jean after the "phone call". S6.

Sapper 477, Excellent posts! I'm glad to see you have followed this: "All I can say now is that I will try to make my posts constructive and that I won't compose anymore posts like I have." It's a pleasure to get your thoughts and views on what's going on at CMTC.  I look forward to your...

Yup, heard the same this week. S6. [....sitting in Ottawa, close to the heartbeat of CF Transformation (sic)...]

Yes, this is true.  In fact, it has been a tough year to find suitable files for both officers and WOs.  I'm trying to figure out why?  The conclusion I'm coming to is that no one wants to come to Ottawa afterwards to serve their time on a project with the Land Staff or DGLEPM. There appears to...

Randy, I have heard similar reports.  I know that the Army is trying to increase the visibility of this course to all commanders.  I also know that in the Army Engineers we are trying to get our Tech Staff trained officers and NCOs in to the places you mention above for only2-3 yrs max and then...

Come on guys! Isn't there anyone out there who wants to comment on the Tech Staff course now being run at RMC Kingston? S6

All, I have conducted a search and can't seem to find much commentary on the value of the Land Force Tech Staff Program (Officers) or the Army Tech Warrant Officer course.  Any recent graduates out there that want to give a comment on the utility of the program?  Or better yet, any supervisors...

Like Chimo I fully support OTs, expecially for soldiers in the Cbt Arms.  It is a hard life in more ways than one and if you can serve the CF in other ways and be happy about it, I'm all for it! Perhaps a bit off topic, but I will add the following: I would like to comment on some whispers...

Grump, Got it.  I may be one of the guys you are referrring to as being too proud.  Well, I don't deny it.  I am unabashedly proud to be a Sapper in the CF and make no bones about it.  I suppose I have been hard on a couple of guys who have knocked the CME, but usually I just want them to...

The ORBAT I saw didn't look like the CAR at all.  With consideration for OPSEC, I will say that my take is that each Coy will have a specific role. More to follow if this becomes open source. Heard the same thing about the JATF name.  Possibility of a name change in the months/years to...

A Luomala, Agreed.  Whew. Good rant.  Like I said earlier, there is no perfect appraisal system. Armymedic, I feel your pain.  I know that DGMC (Career shop in NDHQ) is working on a new CFPAS.  What I don't know is the time-frame for roll-out.  I'll look into this and try and post the answer...

Ya, the pictures are all great up to the SAS-style, blacked out eyes nonsense.  Give me a break.  I sincerely hope that it wasn't a current combat diver who did this.  Gives us all a bad name. S6. p.s. The only cbt diver I ever saw with blacked-out eyes was Gully on Cbt Diver Crse 9101 after a...
