    The Pl Comd (Lt/Capt) depending on the level of formation above him would also be responsible for the FIN side of the house having Section 32 or 34 levels of responsibility for spending money, managing a budget. However at times WO's may also have FIN responsibilities. Traditionally the Pl WO...

    It's not a train wreck from the army's point of view. Think of it from their perspective, as we gradually spiral into the ground to eventually crash down with all hands lost, the rest of the CF will learn how to do business without us. All the sub occs will be done by contractors, and the core...

    ACISS training scheme is not working, therefore a new plan: Ptes comes off basic goes to CFSCE and completes DP1.0 Common and is granted XXXX qual which states VHF Det Mbr under supervision. They go to their new units, strong recommendation that it is a HQ & Sigs Sqn, there they complete the...

    I had a conversation with a influential Warrant Officer  a while back and his ideas ref ACISS were interesting. Right now we has a trade with a core element and three sub occs (four counting CISTM).  The idea was still one trade - call it ACISS or what ever - but with no core element but four...

    Hello everybody It has been awhile since I last posted. To say that the new ACISS trade has not gotten off to a good start would be the understatement of the year. It is easy to cast stones at CFSCE, however these new core and sub occ crses still require shaping and refinement.  And I agree...

    Hello Cobrajr I don't know how it would work for as being part of the Sub Edu Entry Plan.  Your best bet is to email the MES Manager on the link above and ask him if will have to do DP1.0, etc. Hello Rheostatic Yes the reserves will fall under the same Dp1 and DP2 quals like the Regular...

    "This is a MAJOR flaw in the MES plan. As it is, you have pers needing max supevision in a rad det. Now you're keeping them in the Core trade and not training them up to the standard of a current SigOp." This is how I think it is suppose to work.  In The MES brief they called the DP 2.0 Crse a...

    Change is something that is going to blow your mind.  I have been a Reserve Radio-Teletype Operator 215, then in the Regular Force a Radio Operator 211 and then a Signals Operator 214 and now a ACISS Operator. When I first joined we had analog radios that were voice and low data with a LTACS...

    Well think of it this way, CST begins at 1.1 while ACISS Op is DP1.  There is no ACISS Op 1.1.  In the Trade Diagram everybody starts at DP1, to the left side ACISS Op Core goes up to DP 2.0.  Then there are three pipes to the right that are the Sub Ocps - CST, IST, LST.  So you begin to get...

    Hello FIZZiKal I think you have misunderstood what was being said in the brief First "So basically I've wasted 6+ months completing the POET course to be for the lack of better terms 'screwed'."  You are actually ahead because to be a CIS (old LCIS) you still need to do POET or what ever the...

    Today at CFSCE the two new ACISS Courses, Sig QL3s and Sig Op QL5s and a LCIS crse were brief by the MES Manager MWO Buffett on ACISS. Interesting Points 1. The date we official beome ACISS is actually 1 Apr 11 2. Recruting Centers are still recruting Sig Ops, Linemen and LCIS until 1 Apr when...

    I must admit that when I heard that we all mite not get spec pay I was a little ticked off.  I thought of maybe submitting a memo to go from ACISS Core to IST.  Then I though about it - how much do I really know about servers, routers,switches, networkgates with the career path I had have.  I...

    I was at the same brief as Jammer. I went and saw the three wisemen yesterday to confirm.  It is their plan that these students be loaded on the DP 1.1 courses IAW what they joined as.  So those that joined as LCIS will be loaded on CST, those that joined as linemen will be loaded on LST and...

    "2. This is a no brainer, the member once promoted to WO hasn't become brain dead. His training to gain Spec pay is still relevant." I think the problem with above is that yes if a CST/LST/IST moves on into a CISTM position then by all means he is doing a tech job and should get tech pay. ...

    "1. What a surprise....not" - Of Course but this is the first time that someone high in the chail command I have heard said no spec pay for ACISS Core. Spec pay for the three sub trades has NOT YET been approved. The list for ACISS is out for who is suppose to be IST and ACISS Core with a...

    Today the CFSCE Comdt briefed the first two ACISS DP1 courses on ACISS and took questions. Points of Interest: 1. The proposal for Spec pay that went to the Treasury Board was for the three sub-trades: LST, IST and CST.  ACISS Core was not recommended for Spec Pay. 2.  As far as the comdt...
