Im at 7 months and still on step 1 for multiple claims. I've heard a multitude of different wait times so you never know. Good luck!

Did anybody catch this today? Seems to be only for medical releases but maybe a preview of what is to come forces wide?  :dunno: http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/injured-soldiers-won-t-be-forced-to-wait-months-for-pensions-1.3378119

This is sad but let me put this to rest. I have worked with every woman Sar Tech except for the one who was unfortunately injured on course. I trust everyone of them with my life and the lives of those they have, and will save. They are top performers and have earned their right to be in the...

Eye in the Sky gives good advise regarding finding a trade you'd be happy with doing the rest of your career. SAR Tech is by no means guaranteed. There is a lot of good info in the actual SAR Tech thread as well if you go through it. Anyways I'll answer your questions here an hopefully a mod...

I'm still around but more of a lurker then an active participant these days. I did get your message ballz and will get back to you tonight or tomorrow. We have a complicated work schedule that is not the easiest to explain. Nevermore, Officers can apply. We have four former commissioned...

I'm struggling with some of the wording in this article as it is extremely misleading through lack of follow up information. IMO, this article verges on finger pointing. I can only hope and assume that the actual FS report contains more info. In the end nobody will truly ever know what...

Only if you are a pilot. However, if you are selected, you may not end up on Griffons or even helos for that matter.

I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned a few times but no, there is no longer a direct entry program. Any courses you take as a civilian will not aid you unless you join the military. I don't believe that there is a waiting period for military members at the moment however, there has been a four...

Remusters do not require PCP. Direct Entry does not exist anymore. It may used in the future if warranted.

FYI, messages are starting to show up....I didn't realize selection was in January. I seem to remember mine bring much later.

Not until the new year anyways. It's  been to long for me to remember the exactly when our messages came out but you can probably count on 1 to 2 months....ish prior to selection. Sorry I can't  be more helpful.

Not sure if it helps or not but Sar Techs do not follow provincial protocols and deal with civilians/transfer to civ hospitals near 100% of the time. Edit - I should add that that being said they are based off BC ambulance protocols and used nationally.

It's old and needs updating. It was for the direct entry program which is now closed. You are good to go.

Isn't the term  'Dirty Leg' ?    ;D

Contrary to popular belief, 33 is not old. Don't let your thoughts on age deter you from your goals. Good luck.

Rescue!

I don't have an answer for you but the Sar Tech trade has ceased it's direct entry program so it would not matter  if you were PCP qualified anyways. Good luck with your decision.

There are currently three former officers in the trade.

Being in SAR is generally easier on the family as you are not away for months at a time. However, your schedule tends to be a living, ever evolving beast that changes daily. This is not SAR tech specific as all trades involved in SAR deal with it. Staying close with your loved ones depends on...
