I think an infanteer "might" be able to squeeze on the course if he/she expressed a strong desire to become a mission specialist, ie a combat arms member of the aircrew. You may actually have to be posted to the position first, but its worth a try....I think it would be fun to fire a door gun...

Thank you for your concise and professional response. It's wads like you who give Sappers a bad name, though thankfully the vast majority work hard and keep their head down, and manage to make up for idiots. Good luck on tour, hope all your ammo requests don't get mysteriously screwed up. would...

PT, I am a 38 year old SAR Tech. I don't know what all those letters you spouted off are, but if you are serious, look back a few pages of the thread and then PM me. I am eager to talk to you. there have been several candidates selected and succeed in their late 30's. gully

Good luck with the quitting smoking, it is hard to kick, I know. Don't make excuses to stall your application, you are in better shape than 75% of applicants, and even vif you quit, I am sad to say that the military culture, even these days, makes it tough to stay an ex smoker. If you are...

Ummmmm....no. That would fall under Opsec Please,Engineer exploits are routinely reported on by the press, and typical historic operations are hardly opsec. Stout, Engineers are employed in A-stan doing kick as$ tasks in support of what is termed combat operations, ie. shooting it out with bad...

Back on Topic any F.E. with all his EOD/IED ticket punch's should get Spec.pay as diver's and jumper's do plus what ever bonus's given on any Op.. OK. I think see what you are saying, I think you are saying the same thing, just in a different language. Let me see if I am reading you. You think...

were, then weren't, are, soon won't currently diving with them permanently down.

as above ;D

problem solved, post deleted

The book you are talking about is called "down but not out', it is an ancient and revered Aircrew survival manual. it is pretty much the gospel of the Prelim. It has recently been republished as a CASARA Survival manual, can't think of its name offf the top of my head... probably the CASARA...

Sar selection is in Feb 07. If you have not heard b4 your Engineer course starts you are not selected this year. regardless, do not turn down your course. Take the course and do selection next year. No course is "useless" you will broaden your experience and make yourself a better candidate. I...

moving this to the front page, sorry don't know how to link (computer retard) for those of you requesting info on SAR Tech, I have moved this fwd, in hopes you can find answers here, if not PM me.. Gully

The most hazardous part of an Engineer's job in the last 19 years 2 months has been driving a vehicle. Should that mean that there should be a badge and hazard pay for engineer drivers/ FE Ops? Youall receive hazard pay for performing the job you signed up for in a risk environment. you also are...

if they create a new trade, that was deemed a "spec trade" and EOD pers remustered to it, and the training was similar, and equivalent to training that would give a post secondary degree or diploma, then yes Spec pay would be in order. You don't get spec pay for danger, its for education. Now HB...

that doesn't have anything to do with spec pay. You have an argument for a hazardous duty allowance, I think while "employed in the duties of an EOD Tech" ie in theater, or when employed @ an EOD centre ( anyone in the CF still employed in an EOD centre). I think that if you are tasked to...

BIP?

broken down. SARTechs don't go on "long range trainers" its exercising our ?long range? transport role, which SARtechs have no part in...

I'm with you. The Canadian Marines will need to have the ability to deny our beachheads/ Landing zones to the enemy, and obstruct the rapid reinforcement of same.
