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

    From my understanding (info comes from a pow-wow that had both CM's and D-DSigs) LST & Core were not submitted at all.  After the last attempt at spec pay it was seen that "on paper" the two other trades simply didn't have enough compared to civilian side to warrant further review of specialist...

    It'll be interesting to see if they use my 5A qual date, or my 2.1 date for the backpay as they have a 3 year difference. Eitherway, hopefully this will help retention a bit and help get more guys in the door.

    And anyone get any confirmation on that trade review that was supposed to happen?  Last thing I saw was that maj giving a brief and he said the results of the trade review and the decision should be out a month or so ago.  My RUMINT was that they picked the COA for 4 distinct trades, anyone have...

    Not sure if anyone outside of JSR has seen it either, but we had some people from Ottawa come and give us a brief.  Apparently there is a "problem" (Their words, there was even a problem paper already completed) with ACISS and the trade setup is being reviewed, they had lots of interesting...

    So its been awhile with no news, I've heard rumours but nothing really concrete.  Wasn't the pay review to have started a month or so ago?  Anyone hear anything yet? If anyone is interested emma is now showing the promotion forcast/manning numbers, not suprised to see IST so low.

    DNDLearn & Your MPRR

    Hi folks, I gave a search for MPRR and DND learn, but didn't really find an answer to my question, My question is, do most/all courses you do in DND learn show up on your MPRR?  Do they show up automatically? or do you have to print out the completion cert and give it to someone who has HRMS...

    @Occam, You are correct, its a good thing I used that 'almost positive' line in my last post so that my foots not too far in my mouth.  My buddy forwarded me the link to the ACIMS site that has the CST training pilot info, and here's the scoop: 2. Students that successfully complete all...

    Dyolfknip, I'll grab one of my buddies in the tech shop here in Kingston who's doing the accreditation program (They have been advised they're a 'pilot' test of this training), they actual have a written document they had to sign about their obligations and what they are getting out of it...

    Heh, that actually came up on Ex a few months ago in Pet.  I also nearly caused a heart attack for the sir when he overheard me and another guy talking about programming because he thought we had installed an IDE on the network.  Sizzle, Occam is correct though, it might help you a bit because...

    Well, I will chime in on this one, I'm ACISS, I'm working in an IST post even though I don't have my IST 1.1 training, probably because of my post secondary education in software engineering.  I can say that I program, a lot.  Not in the traditional languages, ie C/C++, (The system admins don't...

    Well..as someone who graduated from that course about a week ago I can probably help...though with the point that the course is changing pretty rapidly and your mileage may vary as some friends of mine are on a course about a month behind and its different already. -Typing (If you can do 30ish...

    uhhh.  Hmmm.  As an ACISS...the part I like is... Well darn, I don't have much, radio's are fun I guess?  Putting masts up and then taking them down...and then putting them up...and taking them down...good PT at least!  The worst part is when I got told I'm not allowed to use "interrogative"...
