asshats like that require a throat-punch.
Oh, most heartily agreed. I've often thought of heading down to the recruiting center, finding said asshat, and delivering a sturdy throat-punch. But, I've gotten into a trade that I actually don't mind, and I'm one of those people who'll do the best job I can, be it an infanteer, working as a clerk, or a Sig Op.
I've gotten lot's of opportunities so far in trade, and I'm working at a position where I'm getting training no other Sig Ops in the CF usually get. All of this should be quite helpful leading to my transfer to the Reg F. Although I do have a firm goal of being some sort of DA support to a Combat Arms unit. I'm still an infanteer at heart. Hell, HoM has threatened to throat-punch me repeatedly if I don't get LASIK when I can afford it and remuster

So far what I've been told is that you'll be sent to HQ and Sigs either in Pet or Edmonton right off the bat. As for the field, apparently its mostly working a CP and HQ working the radios, doing dispatch, work etc.
PS: From what the last course said the field ex at the end of Sigs QL3's are pretty intense though.
Futuretrooper, a lot of the field work, when it comes to Tac Rad, at least, is working at an HQ CP. There's also a lot of support to lower levels, and one of my favourite jobs in the world is immediate support as a Platoon/Company Signaller.
The Field Ex at the end of your QL3's, if it's anything like mine, is a HUGE bag drive. Go Go Go, set-up, get into a routine...and then, tear down, move move move, get into new location, set-up, go go go, get into a routing, and then, move now, tear down, move move move, get into new location.... You get the point.
