Hey Shawn,
I‘m a sapper currently with the Sixth Field Enginnering Squadron
6FES North Vancouver, BC., and I‘ve went to Gagetown this summer to
do my ql3‘s basic enginnering skills course. I had the prilvilliage
of working with people from your unit there. What I heard is that
you‘ve got an excellent unit out there....
anyhow, you wanted to know more about engineering right? Well, you‘ll
do lots of demolitions, obstacles wire or otherwise, assult boat
crossing, bridging, mines and some water purification and stuff besides
the basic infantry stuff... demolitions are alwsome, you see stuff
blown to bits. Obstacles are okay--just watch out for the wires.
Assult boats are fun you do this in your ql5, bridging involves lotsa
heavy lifting, clearing mines are a bitch someone‘s gotta do them, and
water purification is cool only a handful people in our unit knows how
to work the machine.
How cool your ql3 is will depend on your instructors. Our ql3 was
okay, I heard bad stories on other courses.. The most common being the
pt‘s not hard enough. Every‘s experience is different.
In a nutshell, I think can‘t picture myself being anything else
besides an engineer. We do everything go where even infantry wouldn‘t
dare, and best of all, we get to use explosives!!! If you‘re asking
whether or not you‘ve picked the right trade, answer is simple--you‘ve
picked the best.
Sappers lead the way!!
