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.

SUB-OCCUPATION WILL TRANSFERRED TO MSMT. JUNIOR MAR TECHS HAVE BEEN
CANVASSED FOR THEIR OCCUPATION PREFERENCE AND WILL BE ASSIGNED
ACCORDINGLY. ANY DISCREPANCIES ARE TO BE REPORTED THROUGH UNIT

PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS. MEMBERS WILL NOT BE DISADVANTAGED AT MSET OR
MSMT NATIONAL SELECTION BOARDS FOR HAVING A PAR COMPLETED UNDER THE
PREVIOUS MAR TECH OCCUPATION
8. OCCUPATION BADGES: DIRECTOR HISTORY AND HERITAGE (DHH) HAS
