signalsguy, you know my opinion on specialising within our trade but the more I see of CFJSR, the less conviced I am of my opinion. My background includes all aspects of our trade except MACS yet I don't want to be employed in the IT field not because I don't have the abilities but because the Pte and Cpls have way more knowledge of the new systems and I would have to start again at the beginning (even though I have networking experience, I don't have resent experience). Maybe we do need to break our trade into specializations with alpha indicators that are already in use with the PDRs in Pet.signalsguy said:For example: in the sigop trade you can be employed as an IT specialist. So you spend a few years doing training and gaining experience and then you get posted OUT of that type of job, usually into something totally different. So now the system has to train someone new to do your old job, and you have to try and learn your new job, which may be just as complex as the one you just left, say for instance, sat comms or something.
The only thing I have seen is the military will have the choice of the trade you will specialize in based on need (first), aptitude (through testing), and then by assessments in the different work environments. The members opinion was nowhere in the process. I think that we would loose a lot more soldiers if we force them into a trade they don't want. Conversely, it is suppose to make it easier to move left or right rather than upwards. If you are no longer interested in being an operator and you have the aptitude to be LCIS, then you could fill that positon.signalsguy said:Mosart will allow people in the "signaller" (for lack of a better name) trade group to specialize and STAY specialized. So if the soldier is well suited to working in the IT end of the trade, then they can stay in that type of job, or if a soldier wants to be a technician, they can do that.
I don't know how it will work for combat arms trades, maybe all the combat arms trades will combine into one?
