SIGINT is not a trade, Comm Rsch (291) is the only trade that deals with SIGINT.  It is our niche, int ops do not deal with SIGINT except for reading our reports.  Fieldrat, what CANFORGEN are you referring to?  I have never, nor do I expect to, see a CANFORGEN regarding SIGINT.  Maybe you're...

Wrong lads.  There are reserve 291ers now, in fact, last i heard is that all the former Sig Ops at Res EW were made reserve 291ers now.  It's still getting hashed out right now on how we'll have reserve 291ers.  About them being in Vancouver, doubtful, you will not see 291ers attached to the...

If they're still in BB6 in Kingston, it's usually 4 to a room

Too true Infanteer.  I am sure that the PM takes the recommendations of the outgoing CDS and the MND very seriously when considering which candidate to choose. 

I'll throw my opinion into the ring.  I was at NDHQ on the Ex floor yesterday when the decision was put through.  Actually we were briefed a little beforehand by MGen Gauthier as to what was transpiring.  He stated simply that the changes, they are a comin'.  Whether this be good or bad, we'll...

There is an emergency meeting called by the PM scheduled tomorrow.  I would expect that he will announce the DART will be deployed in the very very near future then.  Don't believe me, check out my unit in my profile! :P

I highly doubt we'll be sending much of anything to Darfur.  OP SAFARI is the mission in Sudan supporting the North/South peace process, but there is yet to be anything considered for Darfur, expect the pile of helmets and flak vests, etc.  I think the only way that we (or any non-African nation...

There is one way I believe, it's called a DEBBS acct or something.  They only grant them in special cases I think.....but they are web accessible.

Not sure what rank I'd like to be....I DO however know the job I'd like.....I want to be the guy who thinks up all the names for all the Ops.......either that or head of the dress regulations dept.  I suppose both would likely be a Major's job, so I guess that's the rank.  MGen seems to be a...

FYI....no other pers to be deployed to Sudan at this time....all possible missions (mine included) are cancelled

I find it amusing that a lot of these opinions come from civvies, ppl in the recruiting process, or ppl who have never served here at NDHQ. 

We were allowed to wear them after training ONLY after the Base Chief authorized it

I've seen it authorized for wear on Range days and BET training as well...generally people do not wear it back to their place of employment, but as usual, not everyone obey's dress regs.  People may have worn it into Timmy's, reason being they may have been en route to the range or BET training...

News Release Canadian Forces Personnel to Deploy to Sudan NR-04.052 - July 23, 2004 OTTAWA â “ A new Canadian Forces operation, known as Operation SAFARI , began this month with the deployment of two CF personnel to Sudan. Major James Simiana, a Public Affairs Officer, and Warrant Officer...

I was in CFSCE, but our building happened to house the School of Military Intelligence as well, if you want to see a group of worried people, try being in a school full of int ops and int officers....

I agree that sometimes JUNIOR junior NCM's are treated a little ridiculous, and I don't like the mentality of "well I was treated that way, so you should be".  We have to face that this is the "new army" or so lots of people tell me, and we're kinder and gentler. That being said, JUNIOR Junior...

I have nothing against reservists, I'm an ex-reserve Infanteer myself so that did not matter to me at all.  And although a dress infraction, there are circumstances, I would rather break a dress infraction than hit the ground in theatre with boots that are'nt broken in.  And I made sure to get...

I have no qualms about that....it was just his attitude about it....he treated me as though I were a young no-hook Pte who did'nt know any better.   Had he been polite about it, I would not have had any problems, it was'nt the fact that he came to me about it, it was just the manner in which he...

I say the Major was doing his job, but he may have wanted to confer with the PAFFO's first..... and as for the NDHQ slagging, I say this, every unit/base/formation has its share of thuds, NDHQ just happens to be the HQ and hence there is more publicity.  We also happen to have a lot of people...

Stone There are less than 10 Canadians going on OP SAFARI to Sudan.  There are'nt even staff checks being run yet, I was not aware that they were looking for volunteers to go with us at this point.  Please elaborate......
