    Spec 1 Pay for LCIS Tech

    The top brass are letting this one slide toooo long. My shop has already lost 3 to remuster ATIS. As well, I know of 4 that have not resigned there second contract due to this. It will just get worse. We will have a brain drain in the ranks (or GD tasking body drain however ya look at it) I...

    North Korea (Superthread)

    Kim Jung whatever is a fool. His people think of him as a descendent of god(his grand daddy). I just hate that this kid (and future gens) of the Kims will continue to get away with this rheteric(sp?). I was shocked at the non-action taken in 2010 when the north shelled the south islands. As well...

    Kenwood TK-190?

    I did some programming  of a few TK-190's(Range Ctls fav's) when I was in the LCIS Shop TEME, Halifax a few months back. I am pretty sure that is the software used there. We could also use it to program some Kenwood mobile radios as well. Cant get into the details though.

    Mindset of the antiwar crowd

    Too many one sided faces here a little more north of the border then I thought. I am sure theres probably "spies" from the violent wings of these terrorist groups at the "conference", hence where my skepticism would stand. BUT, I am sure theres a few there from these "terrorist" groups that...

    What up with the pay system for reserves comming off tour?

    From "B"URPS to the RPSR pay system. Nothing ever works. It gives reasoning for our Top heavy guys(Highest paid "Paper-Clip" badged pers) to receive their paychecks. They have to be doing something during those days/years in Ottawa. I have yet to see it though. The problem will probably never...

    Opening post conclusion: Our new troops need more hands on training with weapons handling as well as situational awareness training before being deployed overseas. The bottom men <JNCOs> know this. The top men <Officers> believe the system has adequate training at the moment. The middle men...

    NIS/RCMP make drug bust at Shilo

    I agree that there is no tolernace of drugs in the CF. But I know alot more troops who should be smoking whacky tobaccy rather then drinking the bottle. At least the whacky doesnt make ya violent from what I have seen some peeps do after a exercise.

    ETA for an LCIS QL5 package

    I assume they picked newly trained Pte's to try the course on for one reason...least amount of experience before the course will let the staff merrit the course difficulty. Put a Cpl or A/Cpl with about 5yrs+ beh his belt, he will know more and find the course easier. Best to rate a new course...

    Implications for Canadians in Afghanistan if Iraqi Insurgents Win

    Good point there. But I am not even thinking of them. Betcha bout half the sectarian "fighters" havent even left their own village/town/part of city. Its all the ones that flood from jordan/Chechnia<sp?>/africa/asia/and the rest of the middle east. The ones who as pointed out above have no place...

    Remuster from Sig Op to Weapons Tech

    I was a Wpns Tech (L) for a few years in the Reserves. From my experiences, its a trade full of repetitive tasks (Like any trade). Once the trade tasks become boring though I must say what kept me in trade so long was the Corp. EME is the best Corp I have been a member of yet. Ya look after yer...
