Our trade is far from healthy. The 6 months I have been in Trenton over 20 people (out of roughly 60) have put in releases/VORs with many more to come. There is a brand new fire hall opening up near cold lake and have already scouted tons of other members down that ways and releases have been...

I was forced to change trades due to injury and at that time I was looking at either going AC Op or Fire Fighter. Chose Fire Fighter. Did my course, spent time in a hall and relized that in less than two years my trade would most likely be disbanded and contracted out to civis because of a...

If that wasn't sarcasm than thank you. If it was, its a little unappreciated.

There have been roughly 1 release/VOR per 2 weeks for the past few months from people who have signed the exact same documents. One of my course mates finished his 3's course, put in his release the day he got to the fire hall to go work civi side. He's already got his release date. Just read...

I don't want to do my QL5s because I don't have intentions on staying in the trade. When I get back home I will talk to the PSP staff and see about getting a program made up. Thanks a lot. I think you gave me the little push I needed to go for operator because like you said if things go bad I...

Yeah. They made me sign one because I went through as a remuster from the infantry

Thanks for the info. My goal is to be an operator but I personally don't see myself fit enough to be confident in taking on a course like the selection process when I don't know what it will entail. However when I am thinking of a selection course I am thinking of it being as hard as the JTF-2...

CJIRU was my second choice because I have talked with a lot of other fire fighters who have gone through there (used to be a fire fighter posting to get out of doing a ship tour). My main goal was to go in as a support role to get a glimpse of the feeling of working for a CANSOF unit then apply...

It is a good thing that there are no fire calls but when your job revolves around waiting for fire calls there are an absurd amount of make work projects. I was thinking that working the CQ would be on of the jobs but I need to find a job that I can see myself doing for 2 years

I am currently a fire fighter at 8 wing and have come to dislike the way my trade is going (becoming more of a CE working maintaining buildings rather than a fire fighter) and I was told because our trade is red the only trades we can switch to is SAR Tech or any trade within CANSOFCOM. I was...

Ya I did read up on last years OP and checked out the army news broadcast but they were pretty vague so I was just just hoping for some more insight. I really hope more info gets passed down before we get there :/

Didn't even think about the dates being a bad idea. Edited my post.

Hey guys I was wondering if I could possibly grab some information of former members who have gone. I am going as a Fire Fighter and there was no information passed down to what we (fire fighters) are actually doing there. Alot of information in terms of everyone else. My CoC doesn't know...

The topic pretty much says it all. I'm currently on my QL3s for Fire Fighting and apparently the career manager is coming down in December to talk to us about what postings we want. I'd really like to goto Trenton but I don't know how to sell it to him/her. I'm from Ontario, and all of my...

I dunno I just have always had in interest in special forces. But yeah was my grad parade (not me in the pic) in Meaford about a year ago.

I'm sure this is a stupid question but I'd just like to be sure http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/38017_414654121430_523696430_5245597_5149633_n.jpg

When I was in Meaford during my DP1 (roughly 6-7 months ago) we marches everywhere. But, that was DP1, it was kindove expected. I was also apart of OP Cadence, and that was a complete change for me because we were getting driven everywhere and wern't treated like no-hook privates (like I was at...

Just what I was looking for . Thanks

Hey I came across this picture http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/4457660.bin?size=620x400 , and noticed that this soldier (member of CSOR) has what my old instructors called a "Combat Tunic". I was wondering what the Dress Regs say on wearing these. I've seen a few Airforce privates and...

I messaged a recruiting at CSOR about a few things, one thing specifically was me wanting to join under the support side as a Fire Fighter (my current job in the CF) but they told me "As for support you could only apply as the trade you are unless it was an ATR. At this time we have no fire...
