    Marine Engineering Technician Training Plan (METTP)

    For those unsure, this Program is still running and will do so until we are able to expand the Mar Eng NCM STEP list. If I were a betting man, I would saying atleast 2 more years. That said, in order to fill this coming course to capacity, the attached will be sent to all CFRCs through CFRG. I...

    NCM SEP MAR ENG Aprroved Colleges

    I know this is an old topic but the work done recently justifies updating this. As it currently stands, Memorial and Rimouski are the only two recognized schools. VERY shortly, you should see the Port Hawkesbury Strait Campus of NSCC on the list. Next are the Owen Sound Campus of Georgian...

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    We are already. Have a look at some of the images from the discovery of the EREBUS. You will see the ocassional grey thing in the background. As well, side scan sonar operators from the RCN have sailed on other vessels.

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    It is actually being referred to officially as a Constabulary vice Combat vessel. This was made clear in Cdr MacLean's brief to MARLANT anyway.

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    I just realized that the link I put in above is a DIN link so you will have to check it out from work but I am pretty sure there is a description of the single gun.

    Arctic/Offshore Patrol Ship AOPS

    Recruiting Posters, Slogans and Commercials [Merged]

    But CFRG has their own Marketing Department. I only know this because I am working with a Major there to try to push a few recruiting ideas out. I would have thought a Marketing department would have been responsible for ...marketing. Besides, Public Affairs doesn't give us any oil either ! I...

    Recruiting Posters, Slogans and Commercials [Merged]

    I was only making an observation on a topic raised by someone and no, I wont 'pony up money' for recruiting no more than CFRG should be expected  to 'pony up' $100K for some 3GP 357. ... I have also talked to some in Recruiting and echo what is being said; these TV ads eat up a whole lot of $$$...

    Showing a ship for 4 seconds is NOT trade specific.

    Yes and the two most 'in demand' trades (from an operational perspective) in the CAF right now; Marine Engineer and Electrical Technician get a whole 4 seconds in the latest ad.....

    CRCN announced in Esquimalt yesterday that Spec Pay for Mar Eng will return to pre 1 Feb 12 levels effective immediately. He went further to state that most should see it on their end Feb pay. For further info, I would ask that you wait for the info to come down through the chain which should be...

    CAF Specialist Pay [Spec Pay]- All Trades [MERGED]

    You wont 'find' it anywhere although I find it odd (again) that this was not passed on by the CMs. I will look into this when I get into work today. Keep in mind, this came from the Occ Mgr in an email in early October and I have been saying all along that he is the 'authority' on this.

    CAF Specialist Pay [Spec Pay]- All Trades [MERGED]

    I don't know what to say other than I am sorry that you did not hear this information through your CoC as it was circulated (including to the west coast and Ottawa area stokers) within a week of being announced by CRCN. I can tell you that the RCN CPO was queried as recently as last week and...

    HMCS Iroquois' woes (merged)

    I am pretty certain SDA will cease 'shortly'. Plus, yesterday was the world famous "IROQUOIS burger" Wednesday so that was part of the reason for all the smiles! (And, NO! That is not why I was on board!) Interesting roads ahead as this one will be quite different from any divestments done in...
