    You will do a basic driver course, I'm not sure exactly which vehicles are covered in it these days since most of the vehicles we did are obsolete now. You will also do a basic forklift course as well.

    If you want travel, Trenton is the best bet. I just recently finished almost 7 years in Trenton and got a lot of travel in my time there. It may be a little slower now than in the past few years but there is still opportunity.

    Transporting Controlled Goods to the UK

    Short answer is maybe. Are they moving via commercial carrier, charter or CFC flight? If I can't give the answer, chances are that I can find the answer. There is more to it than hopping on a plane and hoping for the best. Sorry to clutter your boards with such a noisy drum. By the way, it is...

    Transporting Controlled Goods to the UK

    Traffic techs do a hell of a lot more than "just move stuff as per waybills".  In many of my former positions as a traffic tech in both domestic and international capacities, I coordinated the movement of equipment, liaised with CANOSCOM, and consulted with a number of organizations regarding...

    CMTT

    You need the TCN for the shipment, it is an alpha numeric code in the following format WA 2123 00 001 the TCN stays with the shipment from start to finish, the WSBL (waybill number) would look something like TC 12 3456. If you don't have one of these numbers, it can be hard to trace. The only...

    Call BS all you like, I remember it being on the TV news and in print. I could not find links to the original stories but found some reference to them. From the Canadian encyclopedia " . A parliamentary commission learned that lower-rank pay was so low that some married soldiers sought...

    In the mid 90's I remember a couple of stories about members using food banks. I also distinctly remember a fund raising drive so a young member could get holiday food and presents for his family.

    CAF international bases, staging areas, and fighting formations

    I believe you are correct. Spangdahlem is a great place geographically but it is not the best logistically for many reasons, still I would have loved to have had more than six months there. From what I know it is being moved.

    Myself and a few others from my 3's were exempt from most of the driving phase (with the exception of the forklift portion). While the rest were doing the driving, some of us were sent to CMTT or supply to assist with anything they deemed necessary. As for the math portion, it is not that bad...
