    Voluntary Occupational Transfer ( VOT )

    No VOT instructions here either.... and my unit will be on block leave after next week. My OR told me to clear out with the unit as much as I can anyway. BLT told me to give them a copy of summer leave pass from the unit and other stuff from my clerk so that will give them what they need ahead...

    Voluntary Occupational Transfer ( VOT )

    Thanks...its been years since I've been on CFSCE's website...finally found the course calender. 2 ATIS QL3 courses in August and 2 in Jan.  So its either do ql3 right away, be done mid-year school year, be posted, hopefully do OJT/QL4 stuff, and have family move at the end of school year(if...

    Voluntary Occupational Transfer ( VOT )

    My acceptance is sent up....just waiting for VOT instructions to come back. (It isn't real for me until that happens) Since I don't need to do POET (already have it, so hopefully they don't mess that up), it will be interesting to see when I may get loaded onto QL3.

    Yah.... I was out of the loop on that one! Now the uniforms will look more like my son's Air Cadet uniform! I'll get my new DEUs just in time to have to change them AGAIN! I've lost track of the number of changes I've gone through with my uniforms in the last 5 years....

    Voluntary Occupational Transfer ( VOT )

    I just assumed that they would have a "Signals" epaulette at least...and I assumed since they were part of the branch that they may also become RCCS....  That's what I like about Air... they don't feel a need to waste money on something that ain't broken.

    BYOD

    I assisted with the TCI of 450 Sqn, and that's a big place...  not being able to have cell phones would "devastate" the younger crowd starting to come in who can't imagine not being able to kill time without a good game of Crossy Road.  ;)

    Voluntary Occupational Transfer ( VOT )

    I got my offer last week and accepted.... but now I'm waiting for the final "yup its real, go ahead and take your army stuff back" message. It won't feel final until I get that message... In the meantime I have linked up with my base's BTL and they gave me the low-down as to what to do. I also...

    I'm sure it is more based on specific trades getting their offers out first. You'll notice it seemed that ATIS had its offers got out at the same time, so it may not be region based.....? Hopefully you wont get told to close to summer leave. My trade change starts July 15th, so when my...

    ATIS....  as you may remember from waaaay back, it was my first choice.... but I had no choice but to go another route that was similar, but then that became a very complicated path.

    Voluntary Occupational Transfer ( VOT )

    Well I had nothing but great support, from everyone in my CoC up to the CO, and the words from the BPSO during the interview were "blown away". I was VERY prepared and basically had a detailed portfolio that I gave them about myself, and how I relate to the new trades, etc... However... I am...

    Getting into my trade of choice ain't the problem (BPSO said I was a VERY good fit) ...  its getting out of the trade I was pulled into that's the problem...

    Voluntary Occupational Transfer ( VOT )

    Our entire Regiment hasn't had ANY offers or other info come in yet as of noon today according to my clerk. I was upside-down in a LAV all afternoon so I couldn't check to see if I got any updates...

    Avionics Systems Technician ( AVS )

    Well since I would be OT'ing (if it happens, gotta wait until spring to find out), and I already have POET (QL5 LCIS / ACISS-CST), that would be a lot of training I skip right there. It would just be common core and ql3. While I would "assume" & "hope" the CF wouldn't waste their money having...

    Harris RF Awarded DND Contract

    I can only speak of what I have seen with what is happening with vehicle use. Yes, some 5121's are being upgraded to become CNR-E radios to work with E-lan which is being used in the LAV 6. CNR-E will not work as a manpack. Many of our current SR2 equipped vehicles already have 117 capability...

    Avionics Systems Technician ( AVS )

    I was wondering if anyone here could chime in on what the CURRENT QL3 course length for AVS is now? I kept reading that the course is going through changes, so up to date info would be very helpful. I FINALLY have my AVOT interview/testing over the next couple of weeks, so ANY current...

    CNR(E)/CSB (split from: Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists)

    I haven't been able to read up on recent details on the new system. Its been a while since I last read up on it. The real issue will be how usable is the system (when comms have issues) without the need for a tech to come in and program everything in via cf30 or other equipment. I assume most...

    CNR(E)/CSB (split from: Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists)

    The problem with VDN is that it is not being used as it was intended. None of the SR2 upgraded vehicles have a new VIP that allows the rest of the system to work as designed. (So now we have to use blue cable instead of FOCA on the VIP, changing all the IP addressing and port availability) So...
