    Air Force?  You'd probably be better served by EW 101 and EW 102.  They both cover the entire spectrum of EW (pun intended), which means more Air Force-relevant material.  In particular, radar EW, comms EW conducted from airborne platforms, EO/IR and (in EW 101) the use of drones/simulators for...

    EW103 should be mandatory reading for anyone in any comms-related trade (they are all good, but radar and EO/IR EW is only needed by a few folks). Of course, I actually remember plotting microwave shots by hand using nomograph paper back when I was on BSOC at CFSCE, so I might be biased in...

    Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP)-RMC 2000 - 2018 [Merged]

    Lumber is more or less spot on in his assessment.  Also, the Computer Science program is crap compared to the Computer Engineering program.  On the other hand, I used to be a professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, so I might be biased...

    I'm not sure that dropping LFC Dvr Wh for the ACISS trade is a done deal yet, although CFSCE has been accepting a far lower percentage of DP1 candidates having the course (out of reluctant necessity). As for EW Trg writ large, there was a very detailed analysis of the training reqrs of the Regt...

    Yes.  By selection and contingent on successfully completing an OUTCAN screening (and any other requirements imposed by the country sponsoring the posting).  And generally only once you reach the rank of MCpl; I can only think of a very few at the Cpl rank.

    Signals Officer

    Well, it partly depends on your educational background and what areas of the Signals occupation you've worked in...but suffice to say that there are a bunch of related civilian jobs - particularly in areas like engineering management, telecoms engineering and/or management, computer systems...

    The idea that some of them will go to Leitrim and never need to drive is a bit misleading; 21 EW Regt is larger than 2 (EW) Sqn was (and still growing slowly) and the demographics of first postings has changed.  The Regt should focus its efforts on Bison (and eventually LAV6) Driver courses. ...

    There are two issues at play with that.  First, candidates who haven't reached the Operationally Functional Point (OFP) in their trade (i.e., QL3 or DP1 qualified) simply can't take any course that requires being at OFP as a pre-requisite.  That rules out most courses with a qual code. Of the...

    ROTP at Civilian University 2004 - 2018 [Merged]

    Ever?  Sure.  But it's rare.  There are a bare handful of positions at units like the Land Software Engineering Centre (LSEC) where actual coding might be done.  More likely, you would be involved in something more like engineering management in a Project Management office.  But, even those...
