    Canadian Special Operations Force Command (CANSOFCOM)

    Fact is, you're not even in yet, and no one who works there is going to go out of their way to put reveal what day-to-day life is in any of the CANSOFCOM units other than what is already available. Focus on getting your foot in the door, and then worry about where to go from there. Once you're...

    Prowords

    Current edition in use is CANSUP C, which does have both arm indicators and appointment titles, including two new ones that were not included in CANSUP B. I still keep a copy of CANSUP B, because C dropped the Regimental and Brigade fixed Callsign annexes. Last I looked, CANSUP C couldn't be...

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    I don't know if they have one at your unit, but I remember out west someone was assigned as a Bde MES manager. You could ask through your FofS to see if they have any input.

    Not likely. No Kingston check in the box, and there won't be any if I can help it.

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    I hadn't really checked this thread in a long time. Some of my thoughts: Branch/Corps Communication - It's pretty horrible. The C&E branch website doesn't seem to have been updated since August of last year, and if there's a RCCS weblink, I haven't found it. The most recent newsletter is over a...

    Harris RF Awarded DND Contract

    This is pretty good news. Assuming 100 of the 180 mil was going directly to radios, with a price point of 25k per unit, we'd be looking at about 4000 radios. This is just rough math, and I'm not sure how the contract is broken up (EIS, training and support, vehicle ancillary equipment, etc.)...

    CFB Cold Lake Thread- Merged

    Just so as to clarify, the CoS date is not necessarily your Report for Duty (RFD) date. It is the date that you now administratively belong to that new unit.

    Untrained BMQ Candidate Alleges Abuse by Directing Staff Sergeant

    I've heard the same thing. And the fact that staff who want to do anything about it are cut off at the knees by the school administration/leadership. On a side note, on the idea of pre-culling. It's not necessarily required to bring people to a central location for unit run screening. What...

    Untrained BMQ Candidate Alleges Abuse by Directing Staff Sergeant

    Before we dive too deep into the Age/discrimination/CRA rabbit hole: The question would be, was the instructor abusive, either of the individual or the group? I'm curious as to what others who were on the course would say. Was the complainant the course magnet? Was the instructor a dick, and...

    Untrained BMQ Candidate Alleges Abuse by Directing Staff Sergeant

    Absolutely we have, and there have been challenges based on it where DND was found to be discriminatory, but it was permitted as a bona fide occupational requirement. http://reports.fja.gc.ca/eng/1994/1994fca0286.html Canadian Human Rights Commission (Applicant) v. Canadian Armed Forces...

    Untrained BMQ Candidate Alleges Abuse by Directing Staff Sergeant

    I don't often post anymore, but this one gets me going a bit. I'm going to try to not judge either the complainant or the Instructor, but the institution and the system. 1. The Complainant has an injury attributed to military service. I think we can all agree to that point. He's getting a VAC...

    How has MES treated you thus far?

    Let me preface this by saying that I am a true ACISS-Core. I am also a one who has done CompTIA A+, Network+, and Security+, and who previously worked on an LCSS Tiger team that tested, trained and implemented what was then known as TacNet. I do not enjoy the Network/computer side of the house...

    New Distance Limits - PMV travel

    Dig deeper. I don't have the reference, but on my last move I travelled PMV, and Brookfield calculated the time as 800km the first day, 500km each following day.

    Tablets

    Well, they do need to be read somehow. Well, if people keep buying whatever they want, we'll keep getting guys show up wanting to us to set DWAN up these: Now, jokes aside, as far as the original request: SAFETY/RANGE PUBS My old unit, we did get approval from a certain Training area for...

    SIC Scale of Issue/Entitlements (merged)

    *not being facetious* Why would they need them when there's tons of operational pers that should be getting them first? Like OD to cadpat, I'm sure it'll eventually trickle in.

    Maybe It's just me, but I think Puckchaser and -Skeletor- are showcasing the difference between signals close support and those who live in a "signals" centric word without thinking of WHO we support. If I can do it to help out someone, I don't give a Kentucky fried frig if its in my part one...
