This time of year, you will definitely need your touque and gloves along with most of your winter kit.  I have several friends that work in that corner of the globe.  Good luck.

Are you back in 3 or over at the tech shop?  I have gone over only twice since I started my course.  Not much of a desire to go over.  I need to see the Forman on a personal issue so maybe I will go there Monday at lunch.

Hmmm, the 60 291ers on course with me are wrong????  They are all still awaiting training, some for over a year already.  BUT, I did not know about the unclas potion of the training.  I assumed that the course would be similar to ours in that the secure subjects and unclas subjects are mixed...

Glenn, Did you see anything that would make it worthwhile for a sigop to put his credintials forward for review?

Yesterday, I had an interesting conversation with a commander going over to Afghanistan next rotation.  He will have a staff of 28 people working for him.  He leaves in Jan to start training for the deployment.  As of yesterday, he is short 16 people to round out his staff.  He doesn't expect to...

Sorry but I cannot answer that.  From what we see here, you would be brought in right away and put through your paces on morris code.  Being an infanteer, you probably only had ERC (protected) security clearance which means they are starting from scratch on you.  My best guess is that you have...

It could be a while as you have to get your sec clearance first.  Most guys are taking over a year.  There are a lot of ptes taking their French course right now because of that.  Try and get on to one of those positions.  They are also doing their morris code while they wait.  There are...

Most were written off during that little exercise in Wainwright in 03 called BTE.  Some of you needed waivers from Ottawa to take you.  It was all transparent to the Pte and Cpls.

Aren't you there because of a ZBM2 while in 3 Sqn?  lol

SQ is required for all soldier's who could be employed in a combat arms unit (or so the theory goes) and for the most part, new sigs must go through SQ between Basic and QL 3 training. Whether linemen are a combat arms trade or a combat support trade is of little relivance to this topic.  The...

Suprise anyone remembers that Mooxe

CWO Richard is RSM of 1 Sigs.  Therefore, RSM or Sir.  After the school, he went to Ottawa as the Career Manager and late last year or early this year received the appointment as TASK FORCE MERCURY RSM.  He was given the appointment as RSM 1 Sigs just before his return to Canada.  He took over...

"However, when these newer soldiers are posted to a front line field unit, employed for example as a Coy Signaller, they are expected to assimilate the information and skills as quickly as possible.  This leaves them at a distinct disadvantage.  As a possible remedy for this problem, I am...

Although an infanteer with the RCR in Petawawa, I got to know Stormy from his time with 2 Sigs in Petawawa.  He was the Bde Comd Driver and was one person you would be suprised to learn had an University Education.  He was a gentle giant not in hight (under 5'8" if I recall correctly) but had a...

That has not been valid for over 5 yrs.  One of my friends who was promoted to MCpl before me had to wait 6 yrs to get on a course (some mitigating circomstances such as tours also contributed) and I actually was an instructor on the course.  A/L is not going away anytime soon.  The last...

I am talking about the leaders (MCpls, Sgts) doing up the paperwork and officers saying that it cannot be done because of the numbers.  I would rather see us undermanned than keep the dead wood around.

I have been discussing the above issue with other Snr NCOs and thought I would put it out in this forum.  Are we actually loosing more people by keeping the deadwood by negatively influencing the good ones to get out because they feel they are getting the same treatment as those who perform...

Il y a 5 ou 6 ans que les regles ont changé.  Avant cet époque, seulement les soldat avait été "CB" SAUF les membres dans un cour de leur metié.  Dans le cours de leadership, il y avait des fois quand nous avait besoin de "CB" tous les étudients à cause de qualqu'un probléme.  C'est un jeu que...

Merci mais je suis membre depuis 2 ans je pense.  J'aime les discussion.  Merci et bon chance dans votre mission en Afghanistan.

You are right about getting it earlier than 30 months but it is not an advanced or accellerated promotion to that level.  You receive TCI (Time credited Incentive).  This is concidered service time towards promotion.  There are CFAOs that cover this in or around the same section.  The 30 months...
