I need your opinion

[FastEddy]

I'm now leaning towards taking the sig op posting for this tour.  Can anyone tell me about any experience they had when they went or about the SOP for support trades while on tour?  Thanks.  BTW, I am a reservist, which has the advantage of having the option of when and where you want to be deployed than RegF, in case some of you forgot   But I don't wanna debate that part, the reason for me posting the original post was that there are several things going good, civy and personal wise, for me in the present and near future that I just wanna know if its worth putting on the line just to go on tour.  You don't have to answer that cuz that's been done.

"Davis' father said his son turned down a promotion that would have let him stay in Canada because he wanted to serve with his comrades out of his profound "sense of duty".

Does that answer your question !.

Go for it.....you have an opportunity that most other reservists would never get.

All you have to do is ingest all the training that goes along with deploying and pass the TMST training.

Good luck.

Let me get this right.
1.  Your a Reservist From 735 (Winnipeg) Communication Regiment
2.  Your currently untrained, that is to say you haven't done your Apprentice Course yet
3.  You were asked if you wanted to go on ROTO 2 leaving in Aug
4.  You have your papers in for a Component Transfer

When are you to come to Kingston for your Apprentice course?  I don't mean to burst your bubble, but I can't see how your Sgt offered you a position on ROTO 2.  Say you go to CFSCE at the end of May, beginning of June.  The reserve course is what? 2 months long?  Now your awful close to August.  First you have to pass your apprentice course, and that's not guaranteed.  Then there is Work Up training to do.  If you were to come to 3 Sqn, CFJSR as a reservist, (or reg force for that matter)  you would have to first take an NCCIS (National Command and Control Information Systems) course.  That's like three months, and then its not guaranteed that you will go on tour even if you complete it.  Even if you go with the Brigade, you will have work up training to complete.

I just don't see you going.  Not yet.  Get your training in, learn as much as you can in the reserves before your CT goes through.  Once your in the Reg Force, you will get your tour, and then some.

VVV
