    RFID is only used on specific shipments and is generally not used on UAB.

    UABs upon returning from afghanistan

    I am certain that CMTT Trenton would love to not have to deal with all that UAB. I do not work in CMTT but I do work very close to them and coordinate with them daily.

    UABs upon returning from afghanistan

    They have done TAVs before in KAF, I am not sure if it is still done though due to manning issues. The Movemets people in Camp Mirage are far too busy to inspect the UAB from KAF there and they do not have storage space for it. If it were done in CM it would also displace priority freight and...

    UABs upon returning from afghanistan

    As for CBSA in YED taking care of it the items would have to be shipped in bond to Edmonton from Montreal for that to happen and that wouldbe a decision that CBSA would have to make. I dont know if CBSA would send members to KAF for preclearance due to the risk factor. I think there is some CBSA...

    UABs upon returning from afghanistan

    As for asking for more CBSA members, that is something that has been looked into and it appears there are more CBSA officers in Trenton now than there ever was before. Keep in mind though, CBSA also has to clear each aircraft and is load inbound to YTR so, they are quite busy at times too. I...

    UABs upon returning from afghanistan

    To add to this, some of the people sending things home do not even understand that what they are sending is prohibited. Basically if you didnt buy it in Canada then it shouldnt be in your UAB. Aso I want to clarify that some of the illegal substances are things like tobacco and alcohol, I was in...

    UABs upon returning from afghanistan

    As I said, if you arent in Trenton then you have no idea what the priority of shipments are. Four months is long but until people stop screwing around and stop trying to smuggle crap into this country it will coninue to take a long time to receive UAB. You wouldnt believe some of the stuff CBSA...

    UABs upon returning from afghanistan

    As I have mentioned before. UAB is a low priority shipment but with people seding home prohibited items like switch blades, brass knuckles, butterfly knives, illegal suppliments and certain other substances in their UAB (not everyone but there are more than you think) CBSA has deemed it...

    Wrapping packages?

    Good to hear, there have been some interesting items sent through the mail system and in UAB returning to Canada that have contributed to slowing down the entire system.

    Wrapping packages?

    I only asked the above question because of the legal and disciplinary ramifications of sending live ammunition so I seriously hope you were kidding, not to mention putting the aircraft/crew at risk carrying undeclared dangerous goods, there are a number of federal laws that would be broken by...

    Hearing Conservation

    Wear plugs or ear defenders as needed.  After many trips to many ranges over 18 years and countless hours spent behind some extremely loud aircraft I have noticed a decline in my hearing and I will not be able to get it back.

    US to close fast food in Afghan bases - Timmies & Greenbean will stay

    And let us not forget the so called scrambled eggs. It became a betting game for us to see how much water was in the tray they served them from.

    ROK Warship Reported Sunk

    Is there anyone out there that could maybe explain how some of  these mines work? Can they be remotely controlled/detonated? I am sure there is more to it than the old Second World War type mines we have all seen on the TV. I have no knowledge on the subject and am curious to know.

    US to close fast food in Afghan bases - Timmies & Greenbean will stay

    Priority yes, emergency airlifted no. It was placed on existing flights on a space available basis. I only mention this because I do not want people thinking there were flights laid on specifically for Tim Horton's. Cheers

    Husband Deploying from Trenton-seeing him off?

    They do allow families at the Pax terminal, if you want to know if the flight travels through Fredericton (I doubt it will but you never know) send me the flight details via PM, I can let you know if it is passing through your area.

    CANOSCOM: Tell me about the life there

    Do you mean CANOSCOM or CANSOFCOM. I ask only because this is posted under the CANSOFCOM area. Both have completely different but often complimentary roles with each other.
