I went through this a few years ago. Your answer is in para A. It basically means your new pay increment is adjusted to the nearest monthly amount of what you made pre-spec pay without going below it. So in your case, according to the 2012 rates of pay, you made 4824$ per month as a Cpl 3...

I've got to say, as the guy underneath working on patients I am opposed to the V-22. We have major issues with the downwash of a Cormorant as it is(dropping trees on Sar Techs and victims, flipping stokes etc) and the Osprey appears to be much worse. I am curious to see what 'helo' applications...

Thanks for all the updates. As a SAR guy this is exciting stuff. I am hoping they don't drop the ball on FWSAR like they did with many aspects of the Cormorant (which I love btw). Oh, and if any industry or military decision makers are reading this, we would like whatever it is in...

There are three officers so far that have given up their commission and become Sar Techs. None of them seemed to have had any issues in doing so, nor do any of them regret their decision.  ;D

The direct entry program is no more but could always reappear in the future depending on the trades needs. Currently you must be a serving CF member to apply. The trade currently has to many Sar Techs to the point that this years course only has six students on it and it sounds like next years...

Just so everyone here is aware 2VP is the best. I was told multiple times that I was in the best platoon of the best company of the best battalion of the best regiment in the world...or was it universe? Either way, it's the best, just ask us.  :threat:

Some aircrew believe their actual baggage is self loading...Always good for a chuckle when they realize it's still sitting on the ramp.  :D

'In need' trades doesn't mean you become competitive without basic education. You can apply and 'who knows' but I'd focus on that GED as you will need it no matter where you end up.

Wicked video. Man, there is nothing pretty about a round landing! ;D

Sounds  like Garda dropped the ball a bit in your case. They should already have your references from your application...if they misplaced them they should not be contacting you to sort it out. I would not worry about it to much. Nice avatar by the way!

To early for this. Kill this thread like the Russian Spetsnaz  on selection.

Congrats! I read through this thread, you have a good attitude. I'd wager you've got a pretty good career ahead to look forward to. Good luck.

Do not drop out of high school. In this day and age that is a very poor decision no matter what path you decide to take in life.

Ahhh getting 'rescued' by work...every Sar Techs worst nightmare.

Like the fellow at 42 seconds?  ;D

Very Cool! Nothing like watching a mass jump. The C-17 is getting involved in all sorts of military jumping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNpI9v7ycP4&list=UUmI170j5bNgK47ajtLPkQZQ&index=12&feature=plcp

Got to explore all the options. We wouldn't want to rush anything now would we! ::)

We just had a few Sar Techs awarded the Jubilee for their actions on some pretty intense missions. It blows my mind to see them on the same page as Justin Bieber. :facepalm:

Wow...
