To add my $.02, seems to me you have perfect timing. You will find that for many, by far the most challenging part of SAR selection is fighting thru the administration. For whatever reason, PSOs et al make getting an application processed difficult, and if a person isn't completely focussed...

I am not a recruitor, though I have done my share.  I think you will have to get serious. If a recruitor is going to spend real quality time with you, it will be because you have made some form of committment, ie, done more than talk across the counter. Take some aptitude tests, look at some...

Ohhhh. i for one thought the DZ was covered in bomb craters (High Explosives) Not nearly as hard core now! :warstory:

Just came back from fdup, and got my blood up listening to all the hard core Navy guys. How much involvement is Combat diving having with the VSW (Very Shallow Water) ... cell/ detatchment/ sqn/ whatever it is? There are some pretty interesting things going on in areas youall have interest in...

C130 J has been kicked around as a possible candidate for the replacement, I believe it was discarded as less desirable than c27, and the same contractor could not have 2 aircraft in the competition (c27 built in partnership) not exactly sure about that, but something like that. I know that we...

Great posts, and exactly why I troll this forum.

Really, there is no requirement to keep most (probably all the drugs you use, but I won't say that) thawed. Obviously you can't put cold meds into a pt, but for storage, not a big issue. We wrap IV tubing around a hot pack to warm fluids, and sometimes use a pressure infuser so we can keep the...

face it my Airborne brother, the days of mass drops of lightly armed shock troops will shortly be replaced with the ominous "whup whup whup" of large twin rotor helicopters flying dangerously low in the pre dawn gloom. Remuster for tons of canopy time. 

:brickwall: Ok the following is coming from me, Gullys wife and NOT Gully. WA WA WA.why is it that everyone wines about the dentist. Granted, in the past, anaesthetic may not have worked very well, and IF it wasn't working the dentist didn't believe you. However that is the PAST!! Today, in our...

Please understand, my little recruiting plug was not meant as a "my trade vs your trade" schoolyard taunt, though it does come across that way in print, I admit. My point was that if someone was considering a career in nursing based on their experience in the civilian healthcare system, that...

;D I knew that would kick over a nest... I'm not exactly in the Medical system, more like one of the CFMS's lost half cousins, but I know that many of the tasks that are done by nurses in the civilian system are handled by Medics and PA's in the CF system. That coupled with the general good...

Suggest you search "osprey" or @ least peruse the FWSAR thread in the this forum, it has been discussed, I think you will find your answer.

The Cormorant fleet is not grounded. there are ops restrictions in place, but they are being modified and removed as fixes come available, and currently Comox is having pretty good servicability. that being said, that is due in large part to the fact that Cormorants have been removed from...

Randy works for CASA.

OK, here it is. you finish selection,in mid February and go back to your unit. The staff compiles the data from selection, and ranks the candidates, firstly as suitable, or unsuitable. I believe the candidates are informed of whether or not they are considered suitable for employment as a...

There are Direct Entry SARTechs on this years Selection Course, which is the "prelim' that selects candidates for SARTech training. Actually, the course standing goes to a merit board, and the combination of placing on selection, and pers file merit, ranks the applicants, and offers for...

Is it top secret? It was sent thru the public affairs chain... how bout posting the letter?

I'll remind youall that the rescue scenario painted here repeatedly in this forum is one that may happen in one SARregion only, Pacific. That is why the buff is in Comox, and why Comox will be the last to get a new operational aircraft. There are unique challenges to mountain flying that make...

Make sure when you see him you call him a craphat wearin' leg with no business jumping out of planes @ his advanced age! make sure he knows its from me. gully seriously, let him know us boys out in Comox are thinkin about him, and tell  him to save some seats in the busted back club.
