George Wallace said:I am amazed that some of these backlogs holding students back, don't result in the Schools sending their people of to Crses that are secondary skills required for their Trade. There are Driver Crses that candidates would require. I am sure there are Basic Comms Crses that teach VP and Radio operating procedures that they could be placed on. It is incomprehensible to me as to why candidates can not be loaded on other Crses (Other than their Trade's Core Crses.) while they wait, to get skills that they will need as Trained members in their Trades.
PuckChaser said:Also, 50% of the Comm Rsch trade will never use a Drv Wheeled or Basic Comms course. They go to Letrim and work in a steel box with no windows, never to see a LSVW unless they're posted to 21 EW. It would be a waste of CAF training dollars, unless the Career Manager already designated certain individuals to be posted to EW right out of the school, before they even commence training.
OldCrow said:Actually, the CWO/CPO1s in the Comm Rsch trade are looking at that issue, and I suspect the Comm Rsch Occupation Specification will eventually be amended to make Driver Wheeled a required course for the trade.
methionine said:A few questions guys,
Are there any postings for Comm Researches outside of Canada?
bodog said:I have one question and it's in regards to facial hair.
bodog said:is there any leniency on a well groomed beard?
bodog said:I know you must shave daily in Basic and more than likely on PAT and I think on any future deployments. But I was wondering how strict the facial hair policy is once you get posted. Say once I reach Cpl with QL5 and get posted at Leitrim or 21ew and start the appropriate shift work, is there any leniency on a well groomed beard?
The answer won't have any bearing on what I decide to do going forwards.
PuckChaser said:If you're in the Army or RCAF, you're shaving everyday you report to work. If you're Navy (posted ashore and after memo approved), have weak ski n on your face, or are a Vandoo, you might get to have a beard.
PuckChaser said:If you grow a crappy beard, you won't be allowed to keep it. You'll also get offered an element based on the needs of the CAF. If you're trying to decide based on beards and boots, you realistically have no idea what you're doing so just take what element they give you. Despite what some people at NDHQ think, the CAF is not a fashion show.
