airmich said:There was a solicitation message out in the fall for positions available. I don't think it was limited to just navres personnel, but I do know that alot of them here on the West Coast applied. When I am back at work on Tue, I'll see if I can find the message.
Where did you get the info that navres is setting a limit?
airmich said:I'll definitely look into the message that was circulating around out here. I know for sure that it was looking for ops types.
Things are very short-handed out here too, both on the ships and ashore, and I can only imagine Navres beating their heads against walls trying to figure out how to handle it all. I wasn't at any of the CM briefs out here, as I was busy with my transfer. And even though I have CT'd now, this is all still very interesting to me, so I will definitely be following what goes on with it.
It would be interesting for sure, if Navres decides to make this a policy....

GO!!! said:Boy do I ever feel dumb! We did 130 days in the field between July and November with courses, new kit, and leave thrown in too, getting ready for deployment, but Navy guys are so good they can do all that in 9 days!
They must be the best men in the CF! ???

The Librarian said:Well, I know there were a relative few of hard navy guys there (); but to have naval and airforce uniform wearing purple tradesmen in-theatre is not unusual to this tour or any other.
Considering the navy and air force are not there to provide boots on the ground (sometimes think you forget thats what you signed up for) I think its better that those people that will be the ones putting their lives on the line everyday will be the ones to have the maximum training not the ones who will not use it or need to use it
