    CFS Leitrim Question

    It's only a short 8km run to work if you live on Uplands as well  ;D though I would'nt recommend it in February or so.... I was'nt aware that the Self Help policy changed.....I'm sure there must be some way around it, there seems to be loads of empty units around, and they're even letting Sgt's...

    CFS Leitrim Question

    Route 197 goes out to Leitrim, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, so it's only good for day workers.  I don't have a car and I've managed to get to work every day and I've been at Leitrim for almost 4 yrs.  Just hook up a carpool system with your fellow shifties, give them some gas...

    49 Soldiers Put in Quarantine at CFB Petawawa

    I just got back from Pet, and have been out for the past two days with either gastro or Norwalk, still awaiting the results from MIR.  Hit me like a ton of bricks on Thurs morning and I've been washing my hands religiously since I've been there.  By the way, quick way to get an IV with Gravol is...

    Comm Rsch question ????

    Spooky hehehe.....I decline to comment on those remarks :) I would echo Spooky's comments and take this initial posting to 2EW off your 3's with a grain of salt.  However, the trade seems to be changing by the hour these days, so you never know what will happen.  As of right now though, it's...

    I'm from Brooklyn, NS originally, right near Newport Corner.  Let me tell you, there's not much in the area...nice place to grow up though, pretty quiet.  Did'nt know Sig Ops were there, I was under the impression it was Navy guys, then again, I'm a 291er so what do I know?

    Comm Rsch question ????

    Well said.....the key to getting the Code is time, some people take longer than others to get it, and yeah it's frustrating like hell! But it's worth while to get through it, finish your 3's and join the trade.  Clearances have been (and probably will continue to be) a big problem, but again...

    Comm Rsch question ????

    The questions is this forum were for a person looking into 291 for a career.  As far as the grooming PAT's to be employed in 2 EW, yes I'm aware that there are a good deal of PAT's in 2 EW, however, grooming would'nt make a whole lot of sense at this point.  Unless anything has changed in the...

    ***Warning *** York University Protest

    I thought that we were taking care of this problem by decriminalizing marijuana?  Are'nt they supposed to be more mellow and relaxed now?  We should just be able to give them a bag of Cheetos and one of those visual illusion books and have them be on their way........

    U.S. troops shoot at Cdn. diplomats' car in Iraq

    I agree with Acorn on this.  Let's wait to get the full facts.  I was on duty when the incident happened, and I still don't have enough to base a judgement on.  I can look at it from both points of view I suppose.  As far as the A-stan, Iraq rhetoric from Cadpat......that's a whole other can of...

    U.S. troops shoot at Cdn. diplomats' car in Iraq

    Canadian Consular Official Michelle Cameron "how many warning shots go across a vehicle into the passenger compartment?" Well one might argue how many people try to pass a US military convoy in Baghdad, of all places!?  "Common sense is not so common" - Voltaire

    SIGINT

    I have to disagree on that point old friend.  I will say that it's a fact that the SIGINT community is a vital part of the Intelligence community.  It's usefulness is very debated by the public, and mainly by people who don't have access to their product/information.    As far as the...

    SIGINT

    Some good open source on SIGINT.  That's about as far as we can go with that though!  We're not called secret squirrels for no reason

    291 amalgamation ???

    Yes, that's the idea behind MOSART.  However, will it happen?  Doubtful.  I personally put a lot more merit into EW's opinion of it, he's certainly a lot more informed about this type of thing than we are.  Not disputing that CFSCE did'nt brief you on that, but at this point in time, it's more...

    SigOp overseas

    Depends on what you mean, questions.  We do deploy and we do go out on occasional patrols, but we are by no means doing the same job as Sig Ops.  As far as the JTF-2 stuff, I don't know, and you're not likely to get an answer on that.  Sig Ops are definitely more in the field than 291ers, with...

    Comm Rsch & Int Questions

    I don't think you can combine NCM and Officer trades in your choices.  I thought you could apply as an Officer or an NCM, but not both.  Someone please correct me if I am wrong. Also, Sig Ops don't normally work with anything intelligence related, as far as I know.  They certainly don't work...

    Ariel Sharon, 1928-2014, R.I.P.

    Totally agree there....look at what happened when Iraq did the same thing at Osirak......they did'nt hesitate then either.  Although Iran is a different can of worms too, let's hope it does'nt come to blows, because there would possibly be global ramifications.....should be interesting either way

    Comm Rsch & Int Questions

    There are no comm rsch officers.  Sig and CELE officers work with us, but not a vast majority of them.  Even fewer Int O's work with us though, except on deployed ops.  I would say your best bet would be Int O if you want to work with intelligence-related work.  Comm Rsch (000120) is the way to...
