I  definatly support the idea of a pocket mask in your F/A kit. We were issued them before deployment on Athena and I always keep it in my Tac vest.

No matter how small or low powered, all electronic kit emits radiation and an enemy who has good EW assets can track you via those emissions. It's bad enough that my truck has a huge electronic "signature" I don't really need one coming from my helmet/vest. You would be surprised at what EW can...

  My course as well.

I work in a truck filled with all the newest and coolest electronics we own and it often fails to work as advertised. Now how well can I trust those electronics to identify me to my buddy in the dark and confusion of a night action? Think I prefer the KISS principle thanks.

Is ACSS still at  CFB Cold Lake? I attended the course in Athabaska Ab in the 80's then they shut down the camp and set up shop in Cold lake. I was an instructor there during it's first year.

Makes me wonder if we do a deep enough background check on our applicants. I know CSIS is busy as hell with the security clearances we submit but this is scary!

  I get chewed up routinely for it.

Could'nt tell ya how long it would take but Yes the reg force are looking for sig -ops. Maybe somebody with a recruiting unit could answer the time question.

Finaly get to see our GCS's next Friday. Been a long wait.

Don'cha love the rumor mill?  ;D

Anybody serve in 22 Sqn. Powell River BC?

Think I was at the same event Scott. Was very impressed with the "kids". My wife (also in the forces) and I were discussing how un-supported kit-wise they are. Seems to us that all of those greens we turned in could be used by them... not to mention our used Mk IIIs.  :salute:

We have heard rumors ect. regarding roto 6 and Kandahar from Pet. ( rumors only so far )

Gotta pic of that Kevin?

Remember to have fun while there.  ;D

From what you have said it sounds like your son is being re-coursed for illness. If this is the case then you and he should have no worries. He will just have to stick around St. Jean until he is healthy and then he will join another platoon. I cant tell you if he will have to start at week 1...

They also appear to have an internal valise, anybody confirm that?

Just remember kids; any moron can be uncomfortable/unhappy in the field. The smart ones find comforts.  :salute:

I would love to, but only if you let me play with all those awsome toys you get your hands on.  :dontpanic:

  What is with you calling everybodys intellegence into question today? Are you a staunch liberal whos pi*sed because the big boss is looking bad in the polls or did your neighbor get up and relieve himself in your cornflakes this morning?
