    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    Fair enough, except that it was being paid for by the local Sig Sqn CO's budget, not their budget. The cancellation rather than rescheduling, imo, is a reflection of the fact they don't want to take a free trip to do face to face. I don't believe it's a matter of available time slots, since...

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    I haven't seen too much of that myself, however I do know personally that if you were in a position that was tied to IT; anyone with anything to do with career management and/or ACISS implementation was blathering on that you'd be a fool not to go IST because IST was going to be the high speed...

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    IMO the DWAN is not complicated, it's just unstable and has too many chefs that don't talk to eachother. and as far as ISTs not being able to fix things, I don't know about where you are, but here it's because I'm not allowed to and/or cannot get the required privileges. There has never been a...

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    Friendly tip to anyone who wants to make it past MCpl in IST at least but probably the whole trade. Don't wait for the CF to Offer second language training, it's pretty much senior Sgt and WO only, but you're going to need it if you want to get that far. Don't say I didn't warn ya.

    You know my tin foil hat wants to suggest the possibility that one of the points of ACISS was to provide the opportunity to revoke spec pay from the trade. I mean they've already come out to say that they intend to hijack whole waves of ACISS Core students and push them into sub occupations for...

    Government to go to common IT systems across all departments

    they are requiring justification and a secondary approval stream for a free blackberry upgrade if we ask for one with a car charger and a belt clip. To question the inclusion of  $19.95 in accessories they are creating red tape parade that ads 3 days to the process. The justifications I put in...

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    Typical doublespeak that you find everywhere. The public face statement is always about how a dept gets orgasms from doing the best job they can, putting everyone else above themselves and working ceaselessly towards constant improvement because they are perfect team players. In reality depts...

    We all know how that went the last 3 times... Do they not get how much this continuous shit show is obliterating morale?

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    Good day I just flipped through the PPT Deck on EMMA and there is no promotion forecast. My Supervisor inquired through the foreman channels back channels and was told 3. I'm told through rumor mill that the PPT Deck shown at CM General brief includes the forecast, but that portion is not...

    Army Communication & Information Systems Specialists (Sig Op, Lineman and LCIS Amalgamation)

    GDay WO I don't know about the rest of them, but my grumbles about the amalgamation is that it was all sunshine and rainbows at the briefings with very little actual content to discuss. It seemed like a lot of fluff cheer leading for a system that hadn't even been built yet. What were we...

    Toyota recall may open old court cases

    I'm having a hard time understanding if the prosecution claimed he hit the gas thinking it was the brakes how he got charged with vehicular homicide rather than manslaughter. I thought homicide required the deaths be intentional

    PM seeks Parliament shutdown till March 2010

    I know it wasn't directed at me, but I'll bite assuming you can cite a source for this, how can you link the two seemingly unrelated topics. do you mean employers in Singapore were having a hard time, or where? Back in the late 90s there were a shortage of programmers due to the need to...

    The Great Gun Control Debate

    Tess, I hope to heck you are being sarcastic this morning I found a black garbage bag at the bottom of my steps, it just had a couple of spent paint cans and a metal rod, but I didn't know what was in it until I picked it up and put my prints on the bag. It was just a left over trash bag from...

    Calgary family negotiates "no homework" agreement with school

    I've seen kids in NB getting 2 hours of homework in kindergarden... seriously, 26 pages of photocopied colouring book that they were required to colour for the next day... A-Z totally pointless timewaster that teaches nothing, and makes you crazy trying to sit them still to actually colour the...

    "Cat's demise prompts rumours of Thatcher death, causes fur to fly"

    My 2 cents, this is what happens when technology is used as a crutch and begins to control your life instead of a tool to extend your abilities

    New Ontario licence plate shows support for troops

    how do you address the issue of the above mention of 1 off custom plates costing 94 dollars, and these not so unique plates costing $314.? Are you saying we shouldn't attribute to malice what can be explained as simple incompetence? I'm not saying that it's definite that the extra money is a...

    Sell The Vatican, Feed The World

    Not Sex Scandals no, and branding the the 100s of millions of people with that brush do to the despicable actions of a few who abused their position of power is a little unfair. No organization is without scandal, as you should well know. Granted the current handling of the situation is...

    Sell The Vatican, Feed The World

    Opportunity cost or economic opportunity loss is the value of the next best alternative foregone as the result of making a decision.[1] Opportunity cost analysis is an important part of a company's decision-making processes but is not treated as an actual cost in any financial statement.[2] The...

    Sell The Vatican, Feed The World

    I don't see many people saying Disband United Way and Feed the world, however the CEO makes obscene amounts of money, and the group funds political parties and social change lobbyists that use all the funding they are granted from the united way (which was collected in good faith under the guise...
