If you are referring to E-LAN (which gets rid of the CI,NAU,RAU,PDU,Driver Box and replaces it with the new CSB and smaller pdu), that is supposed to start being installed in vehicles come April according to my sources... we shall see. No one is using all of the SR2 equipment I spent forever...

The damage is already done. I know many newer trained LCIS techs that want out or want to OT... simple as that. So much for solving your manning issues for signal operators.

It's too bad for a lot of these guys who went IST (and would have been say CST) and are doing 1.1, but are now being told that they might NOT be IST because those positions are filled. Also seen common core guys being put on 1.1 LST and being told there aren't open positions, but if that ever...

Even having done DP 2.1 in your sub-occ doesn't mean you "are" part of that sub-occ yet apparently... what seems to be the case now is that even if you are dp 2.1 mod 2 qualified CST, you are still not considered CST (00362-3) until you have done your DP 2.0. If you start in a sub-oc stream (ie...

All I can say is that I know of a good number of people (former LCIS) that are tired of this, and want to OT or just want out when their contract is up. Seeing that ACISS is in the yellow, it's probably going to be real tough to OT to those lovely Air Force tech trades with the numbers probably...

Correct me if I am wrong, but is the reason why the school (CFSCE) may NOT move your family because the cost comes out of their own budget and they don't want to spend money on someone who may not even pass their course,etc.. ? I know when you own a home they definetly won't because that is a...

Yah, I originally wanted to join up as ATIS, but was told it wasn't open, which is why I had to go with LCIS. Here's to hoping for ATIS or AVS in the future...

I signed on as LCIS, got a POET bypass, so I could have gone on to my QL3 in Kingston right away. Then ACISS happened which had many army sigs guys stuck in Kingston with no answers as to what our courses were and when they were going to start,etc... I was told I may not start course for a...

Thank you for the info guys... much appreciated. Just curious why there seems to always be more people needed for this trade. Is it the job itself, or is the training too tough? I have my appointment booked for a few weeks from now. Any recommendations for the interview? Never talked to a PSO...

It's been a while since we chatted Occam... I agree with you, and believe me, if I could get ATIS then I would take it! It doesn't seem to be open... however I will certainly ask the BPSO if that's a possibility since it would be MUCH easier to fit into that trade. Unfortunately, the longer...

I am seriously considering OT'ing to AVS from ACISS CST, assuming it is still in demand. I have read all the forums and got as much info as I can on here. What I would like to know is... what are the things that people don't like about the trade as well as what they do like about it. Don't...

As someone who is in the middle of all this ACISS mess, I can tell you that this is happening for alot of people... maybe not intentionally, but it is happening. The idea of farming DP1.0's to different units is good as being stuck at HQ & SIGS with very little (tech-related) OJT is very similar...

Well, to those who think that ACISS CST shouldn't have Spec Pay because of the lack of POET now...what about those who already had POET (or a 2 year college electronics tech diploma or better, or those who went through the SEP program) and got sucked into ACISS part way into the training system...

I personally can't see them justifying all these other military tech trades getting spec pay, yet the army techs don't.... It's a real pisser for those of us who have alot of previous (pre military) tech education and experience, who went into this trade partially because of spec pay. They knew...

So how are things working at JSR with the DP1.0 techs? I was someone who wanted to goto JSR and was VERY vocal about it throughout my DP1.0 course (and knew they were going to be taking DP1's), but unfortunately only the courses after me were given that option. So I wound up at PET at HQ and...

At Farnham for a week. Nothing like being woken up to the sound of a grenade, and then having to get out of your self-made tent with all your gear and rifle with no light to see with, and then get to your position in the Bivouac, and then hear a gas alarm, put on your gas mask and then shoot at...

Well, I just came back from the famous 13km ruck march.  What it means is you march with 50-60 pounds of gear on your back for about 2 hours 20 min, and at the end of the march you have to drag another person using the fireman's drag, then you have to do a trench dig which means you have 6 min...

Your right about the "you will" etc... because  some instructors do things differently. For example, we didn't get our first 2 weekends (after the 5-6 weeks) off whereas most platoons did. That's when we did our first (and only so far) "change parade". I wasn't making fun of WFT at all! I have...

Warrior Platoon is basically those who did not pass their cf express test. They are pretty laid back compared to the rest at BMQ but they do a lot of PT.

Well now that the Omega Mess (Bistro), has the Internet and the free Wi-Fi working...and now that I have some free time, I can tell you guys what things are like here in St. Jean!  First... the PT program is different than in the past. It's VERY circuit and team based, and we have (suprisingly)...
