The CWO said the morse code would be credited as a qualification. I just can't remember if he said it would appear in our MPRR only after Phase 2 (meanwhile, it would be noted in our files).

Anyone in the know can say if this morse code is a trap to fill a quota? Are you guys able to talk about how the morse operator postings are?

Don't quote me on the bases, but you may have the choice of Edmonton, Petawawa and Valcartier. (main ones grads are sent to)

In my case, I filled paper forms in St-Jean, pictures and finger prints were taken there too. And those were the forms they used in my TS interview (I asked the agent since a lot of ppl were saying they use the ones you refill once you get to Kingston). Unless this has changed over the...

See, that's more info about the process than we're told, thanks. Delays I've witnessed were: missing/correcting information on forms and missing interviews. How can a PAT miss an interview knowing it's their TS/SA: - E-mail notifications to the pers... not knowing the pers doesn't have DWAN...

About morse code.. how bad do we need morse code operators? A friend suggested this could be a one-time course to "trick" a bunch of us into that job.. And for those that know guys who have gone through that course or worked as a morse code operator (no clue if it's a full-time job or what)...

This is 4sqn we're talking about. And you have no idea how secretive clearances are for PATs, we don't get access to the website where you can track process (missing infos, interviews, etc). One person manages clearances and he's doing his best I'm sure. But people aren't always told their...

6 to 8 months after you get both interviews. Time to get those interviews for me was 8 months alone (pretty much all comm rsch I know got theres around sept-oct 2010, 2 massive interview weeks) I'm currently waiting for Ottawa to approve (I'm guessing)... that's what seems to take 6 to 8 months...

Define new people? I've been here since early '10 and have both interviews, still the average wait after both is 6 to 8 months. Our hope (and I'm guessing 2SQN's) is that after the morse code course, we'll have our clearances, or enough to hold a phase 2.

The first morse course starting this month was voluntary hoping they'ld get the minimum 20-24 people they were looking for. They came short because a bunch (8+) are going on SLT, so they voluntold several from the database and of course, poorly notified the surpervisors, friend of mine found out...

Course is more than just morse code: - review of phase 1 - learning what changed in the new phase 1 (unix taken out, replaced by more gen comms, so learn the new gen comms, etc.) - typing skills - general knowledge pertinent to our trade (geography, politics, recognizing a bunch of...

Bunch of Comm Rsch were tasked out, but we have our security clearance interview scheduled right in the middle. Now we've always been told, career prevails over everything. We've been told by "people" (won't name names/ranks) that missing such interview will put us back several months before we...

Our CoC doesn't know what this major tasking is all about, sure thing is it's at CMTC. Do PATs sent from other bases to Wainwright get to do OPFOR or is it mainly GD (constructing villages, picking shells?) And any other units shipping people down there in September?

True, added the medic afterwards. *editing properly eheh*

Thought I'ld update this thread since it's been quite a while! A month ago, I completed Phase 1. I'm now waiting on PAT for my security clearance, thankfully I have a gucci tasking with the Air Force, so no PAT bullshit (inspections, roll calls, non-credited PLQ classes). I requested an EWAT...

The EWAT was cancelled couple months ago, but we heard they were looking for people to man port security again... anyone heard about this?

Ahah, found out about that today.. 21 EW R

My SQ/BMQ-L was quite easy in Valcartier, had awesome weather and easy going staff. First couple of weeks were the worst, having at least 10 inspections per night to get a standard going (yeah right...). We were CBed on those first weeks. At least we got to play sports on the week-ends with our...

Honestly, that's what I think, but she's been there a while now (like 3 months or so)... I fell in love with Kingston the first week lol She has a couple of french friends, and is bilingual, she just didn't ask for Winnipeg at all and got posted there. Guess it's part of the ricks of being a...

Friend of mine got sent to Winnipeg as a driver, she resides in Quebec though, she hates it in Winnipeg and is stuck there 4 years... Is there any way for her to get transferred back to Quebec or somewhere closer?
