I unfortunately completely missed this whole thread while the last meet & greet was planned, that sucks! Wife and I just moved out here this past Feb and would love to eventually meet some people, hopefully another meet & greet isn't out of the question while there's still some summer left! I...

As a Med Tech or Sig Op you'd have the 'opportunity' to fight alongside infantry if you were posted to an infantry unit, which isn't too difficult for a switched on soldier these days.

I have bell cellphones for my wife and I and although they have the best coverage it seems, it is a damn shame to say that their customer service is GARBAGE. Horrible retention (won't barely lift a finger for you), not great pricing for their plans and a rediculous cancellation fee for their...

Wow, I guess I'm just stupid lucky... I was 'issued' a PMQ for my wife and I and it's not bad at all! It was apparently (the neighbours say) renovated like crazy for quite a few months before I moved in. New insulation, paint, doors+windows+trim+screws and all. Only thing not renovated was the...

Actually at CFB Kingston and CFB Edmonton there's a ridiculous shortage of Jimmy cap badges for some odd reason... Borden had tones when I was there on PRETC while back but they wouldn't actually give them to us until we were clearing out to go on course, and at that, just 1... At least now I...

They stopped making us wait for Security Clearances AAALLLOONNNNNNG time ago... I'm posted and done my 3's but I still don't have one, only Enhanced Reliability, which is being upgraded atm to TS. I was only at PRETC for 4 months, in which time I also completed my Driver Wheeled course and got...

Actually nobody under the cutoff, as it seems so far, will have to be doing the new training. They said it would be impossible. They're going to take time in, tours, postings etc and qualify you based on experience primarily, and maybe just give some background training to accomodate/upgrade as...

I posted what I took from the Lecture, started in a new thread under Communications & Electronics Forum! Figured I'd start a new thread on it since this thread was originally about "Cease of Training" rumours...

Figured I'd start a new thread as the start of this was in my previous "Cease of Training" rumour mill thread... Today (4 Jun 08) I attended the Lecture on our Trade Amalgamation... It was quite a dump of info with some answers and more questions towards the end... Lecture started about 13H00...

Just told that tomorrow the Sigs of 1 CMBG HQ+Sigs Sqn are to be seated by 14H25 for a briefing from the Master Sig himself on the trade Amalgamation; will take notes and post info!

Do you drive anywhere with that Honda Civic? If you have a fulltime job how is that even possible it lasts you a week? My wife has a 2002 Sunfire and it eats up about $40 every week to week and a half and that's just her driving 20mins to work 5 days a week and back! Question: Someone above...

Hey folks, I was recently at the Edmonton International Airport picking up the family cat and I took a drive down the runway (by the cargo area) and noticed the tails of 2 Hercules, not TOO surprising, then I noticed a few other interesting things... Namely a United States Military Chinook...

I can't help but think this is a stupid move even as a newly trained Sig Op who is in an "IT" position. Forget the other trades that will be sucked into this even (Lineman, LCIS) but just even with the Sig Ops alone, 3 different troops we have in 1 CMBG HQ+Sigs and each troop does a completely...

50 years from now we'll have had at LEAST the first (possibly more!) manned expeditions to Mars, so long as something absolutely diabolical happens like WW3 and/or 4 to divert attention and resources away from that planet. I'll also be 77...  :crybaby: And hopefully have ended up happily...

So we've obviously figured out and everybody knows that the Trades WILL join up... And CFSCE is staying open for business for obvious reasons and (hopefully!) modernizing they're training schedule! Now over here at 1CMBG/LFWA, we're trying to become more self-sufficient and do our training...

Well then, that clears that up for me anyway... Thanks a lot BTW dapaterson!

So what you're saying is that those trades are definitely being amalgamated eventually but that's still a year or more probably away because of all the work/logistics that has to go into that. At least I have that answer! I can see that being messy to try and tangle with... And the school will...

I heard recently that apparently CFSCE is putting a halt on Sig Op QL3 Training to completely revamp the course, and also apparently because of the supposid "amalgamation" of the Trades that's suppose to happen... Any truth to any of this? I couldn't see them suspending the Sig Op QL3 program...

I have to say, the service from the local Timmies at CFB Edmonton is absolutely by FAR the best I've ever had and seen! They are incredibly fast, to the point that you've barely offloaded you're change to them and they're handing you you're order and you don't even know what to do with it it...

My original post to this thread was quite some time ago when I was still in the reserves, now I'm reg force Sigs, SQ hasn't changed much except they cut it down considerably, apparently they simply added a lot of the training material to the end of BMQ. SQ now is about 3 weeks from what I've...
