Grendel - I am unaware of any QL4 supplementary training package. I have sent a query to DMTE to get more information about that prior to responding. As far as recruiting goes, numbers are actually up. No doubt the economy has something to do with this. But once we start recruiting to the WE...

Gypsylore - do not worry, if you, or any other technician, requires mechanical training to be effective in the new structure you will receive it. Exactly when, where and how is yet to be ironed out. The first training design board  for the new structure is scheduled to sit in Feb 09. By the time...

In point of fact the existing Combat Systems Occupations will no longer exist. There will be five specialty occupations after the WE Tech entry occupation. Three of the five new specialty occupations will have direct hands on maintenance responsibility for what are traditionally considered...

Occam - I will attempt to address both yours and Jenerator's comments in this post. So in no particular order . . . 1. This is not MORPs. I am not aware of any person involved in this project that believes that MORPS is a viable present day construct. 2. No offence but, it is highly unlikely...

Occam - The entry occupation will be "Weapons Engineering Technician". It would be, as previously stated, incorrect to call the Combat Systems Department a branch as most of the CF refers to a branch. It is my personal opinion that the Combat Systems Department will be renamed the Weapons...

Gypsylore - You have indeed picked an exciting time to join the NAVY. I think you will be well pleased with your choice. 2Fly has given you the skinny on what you can expect as far as training is concerned. The only thing I will add is that the new occupation structure includes a redistribution...

Occam - clearly you have strong opinions about these things. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion but at the end of the day the decision is not yours. You can continue to be bitter about things over which you have no control or you can accept that not everything in life is going to...

The only real advantage of the SEP is that you get to do your academic training in a civilian school. In many cases that school will be either in your hometown or very close to it. Otherwise your early career will progress pretty much at the same rate as a direct entry recruit. Two years at your...

Well it works out that there are any number of jobs that have to be done by somebody that are not specific to any one group. Management and administrative, recruiting, recruit training, leadership training, project management, exhibits and displays, military liaison, foriegn development...

CivCanuck The MARs Training requires people to be able to make correct decisions very quickly under very high stress levels for long periods of time. This level of stress is very difficult for some people to do consistently. IMO the MARs minimum education requirements are not what they should...

Your question about the difficulty of training is hard to answer. What is difficult for one person is easy for another. They are both challenging occupations that require a siginificant amount of training. However the training is different for both, as are the jobs. The training for NCS Eng is...

Ryan; Although all the details are yet to be in ironed out, there will be a transitional period. The process will be most complex for the people spread through the entry level. Those that are journeyman level will experience some minor changes and those at the supervisor and manager level will...
