    Postings, career managers and budget cuts!

    So my chain of command just advised us that the career managers have basically had their budgets slashed for postings, even more than expected and don't be surprised if most cost postings are cancelled as the posting plot is shot to hell... Anyone have any numbers or substantiation? Is it as...

    Merit List Criteria For Promotions

    That's kind of what I was hoping... The career manager seemed to be happy I took her advice from last year, and enrolled in the new program. Although it's being paid for through an approved ILP, it would still suck to have spent so much time on these 4 courses to not have it matter. Wife and 2...

    Merit List Criteria For Promotions

    Speaking of education... Does a college certificate come into play at all for a point? I've not been able to attain an answer from anyone on it. Certificate/Diploma to some people seems to be the same thing, "College is college, do you have a piece of paper?!?... It's not the same thing... I'm...

    You don't even have to know how to use a computer to play WOW, it's for total n00bs! For real men (ISTs) it's Day Z or Battlefield 4 on a PC, NOT console! Treachery among the IST ranks will be unaccepted. PC gaming only! :bullet:

    DND IT takes a great leap forward

    That's odd... It sure does run on them... I've seen it with my own eyes! Windows 7 runs better on a CF30 than Windows XP does... It's much more optimized and fast. Strange! Me thinks someone did not look at the minimum requirements for Windows 7 Enterprise edition and correlate that onto our...

    The only thing I've heard on the IST end is the estimated promotion forecast... Which was a lot higher than I thought it would be... Must be due to all the positions that were originally not identified... Or the releases, but I'm being hopeful it was just positions! IST is going to be a very...

    All things Joint Sigs Regt/JSR (merged)

    I've been told when I showed up on the 24th I'm in 1 Sqn, B Tp as I'm an IST. Nerd fest galore! I was shown around quickly, filled out some leave passes and don't show my face again until 19 Jul. =)

    All things Joint Sigs Regt/JSR (merged)

    Thanks very much for the info! We (family and I) settled on a place not in Greenwood Park surprisingly... We really liked it once we seen it and got a tour of the area but the house we fell in love with after 30 homes in 2 days ended up being in the Bay Ridge area. Little more of a drive, I...

    I hate to be a pessimist but that message seems like an official way of saying, "BACK BURNER"... I don't think we'll here about spec pay anytime soon to be honest and I expect that's the plan. They won't officially say 'No' because it would crush morale for some pers and cause a further mass...

    AESOp ( MOC 081)

    So, after months and months and months and now a posting... I've heard nothing! Not a Decline message, not an offer message! Nothing... THAT'S frustrating!!! I'm going to guess (but check with the clerks at  my new unit for an update on my application) that I wasn't 'competitive' enough...

    Posted to JSR sooner than later (Jul 15 COS, memo in to bump up report for duty date due to house sale at origin!). Wondering about a few things from folks whom live and work in Kingston now... Reporting in to JSR for first day of work in dress of the day, not DEU1A correct? Does anyone do...

    Can anyone suggest a Realtor?

    Thank you very much to all of you for the great suggestions on Realtors etc... Found my way to one on each end!!! Next issue I'm facing is the geography of good ole' K-Town. It seems to be a battle every time you ask someone the best areas or how far to live from the base in Kingston... I'm...

    Heh, funny thing, we at 1 Sigs have been working insane days/nights/hours/shifts like that for months now. I have personally had 4 weekends since Christmas leave... 2 of those were on flights to/from Kingston for Ex Cyber Challenge (My choice, I applied for it so I accept it!). 1 of those was...

    AESOp ( MOC 081)

    June of 2012! Which is a normal time frame for a Cotp application far as I can tell but I have a posting in to Kingston with my current trade... So as soon as I can find out if I have an offer in I'll know if I'm still moving there or not.

    AESOp ( MOC 081)

    So, I hate to be the one to ask the obvious question... ANYONE gotten an COTP offer for AES OP yet this year? If I was a fruit I'd be getting very very ripe by now!!! More like a stewed tomatoe if nothing heard from D-MIL C by 1 May! I'm sure I'm not the only one playing the waiting game for...

    Anyone hear anything yet? Any new OT offers out? I know, probably a tad early but you never know!

    Can anyone suggest a Realtor?

    Hello folks, I'm posted from Edmonton to Kingston this time around and would love some suggestions on Realtors to use! I really don't know any realtors personally and haven't had to deal with them so I would love to hear a good story about your favorite Realtor on your last move! Or, whom NOT...

    Although you're basically 95% correct, I would beg to differ a little on the C.Tech from OACETT. I think for someone whom is in my position it's attainable. I'm waiting for dust to settle (posting message and move) but I plan to apply for the designation and/or challenge for it. Again, I think...

    AESOp ( MOC 081)

    Hello folks, So I'm just waiting for some final scribbles on my OT paperwork and my meeting with the BPSO but I'm wondering something. If my file does not make it back to Ottawa/review board by Novemberish this year, does that mean I will literally be waiting until roughly November 2013 or are...
