Well, It sounds like your new trade is to be a Signals Operator Radio
Operator. While it is not the worst job in the world, if you were and
engineer, I am not sure you will enjoy the job much. Most of it is spent
indoor‘s sometimes the back of a Radio Van, sometimes in a Range Control
Building but rarely in the great outdoors.
The signals world is alot slacker than most, because it is filled, for the
most part, with mbrs from non-combat arms trades.
The upside, for one you get to do your trades training in Kingston, Ont. the
happiest place on earth. Secondly, your days of "Ruckin‘ it" are over,
almost every job requires a vehicle. And thirdly, the new sig jlc‘s are
unbeleivably easy. I finished my jlc/jnco two years. It was one of the
funnest courses I have every been on. The major problem with is everyone and
their dog passes, one of the reason I am jumping ship.
Have some more specific questions and I will do my best to answer them.

that?
I don‘t really know about much communications.
