Ahh, this is a consequence of the decoupling of the electrical and mechanical sides of the trade ?

That is correct. A email is coming today explain all of this to calm things down.

I assumed as much. There is a lot of competition for clicks, so you need to generate outrage.

Having your spec held until the review is done is far better than the (slim) possibility of having pay removed after the review.

Pretty sure its no going away, if it were there would be a mass exdous.

Glad to hear that. Social media went bonkers yesterday.

There is no way it is in this case, but CAF policy is written to cover all occupations. Some of which can and will lose spec over time.

At least on the depressed stoker page. Whoever's running it does more harm than good.

I actually think you're right. Not that there isn't problems. But wallowing them isn't healthy.

I hate to be that guy, but if this job brings someone that much negativity they should think about other careers. Life is too short to be that miserable; especially about something you cant control.

I've lost track, have they finally got a date to start training the replacement HT stream?

RCD combat survivability concept relies on that skillset starting at the DCPO and at the section bases, at a higher level than what we meet with current MARTECH (because they killed HTs, realized it didn't work and went back). Need the specialist knowledge that you don't get without an HT stream.
