Hello there fellow mates!
I'm a young recruit currently at CFSCE kingston doing the debut of my career and exploring around the various branches I'd like to ask a few questions concerning any possible outcomes.

So, first off, what are the Canadian Forces Joint Signal Regiment? Are they under the AF?

  Not it is not under the RCAF.  It is a unit of CJOC.

As an ATIS student, I've been informed I can enroll in multiple maintenance units, including crypto (for which I require a min of 3-5 yrs of service, and even then there's no guarantee they'll hire me), networking, IS maintenance & support, maybe even become a signaler, radio tower op? I really don't know a lot when it comes to my options when it comes to outside of Info systems and directly related to it.

You do not enroll in units or jobs, you get posted into the unit and they tell you what job you will do

I AM VERY INTERESTED IN SERVING UNDER THE TAN BERETS! My grandfather wore a tan beret back in his days and I want to follow in his footsteps or at least amount to his achievements as close as I possibly can!

On CFB Kingston's website, I see the following units are stationed here:


3 Area Support Group Signal Squadron
4 CDSG Signal Squadron (formerly 2 Area Support Group Signal Squadron)

A Det of 4 CDSG Sig Sqn is in Kingston

5 CMBG Headquarters and Signal Squadron (Fr 5e GBMC Quartier général et Squadron de transmissions)

Nope.  Valcartier QC

4 Telecommunications and Information Services Squadron
8 Telecommunications and Information Services Squadron
14 Telecommunications and Information Services Squadron
17 Telecommunications and Information Services Squadron

  There are not TIS Sqns in Kingston

727 Signal Squadron St. John's NF

  I would have thought that the St. John's NF would give it away that it is not in Kingston

731 Signal Squadron
742 Signal Squadron
Canadian Forces Information Operations Group Canadian Forces Electronic Warfare Centre (CFEWC)
Canadian Forces Information Operations Group Headquarters (CFIOGHQ)
Canadian Forces Network Operation Centre (CFNOC)
Canadian Forces Signals Intelligence Operations Centre (CFSOC)
Canadian Forces Station Leitrim

None of these are in Kingston either

Canadian Forces Joint Signal Regiment

Yes this one is

Information Management 7 Communication Group 76 Communication Regiment 764 Communication Squadron
765 Communication Squadron
Canadian Forces Crypto Maintenance Unit
Canadian Forces Crypto Support Unit

with the exception of CFCMU, the rest are in Ottawa.  CFCMU is in Kingston.

all the underlined units are what I THINK i can join as an ATIS tech, but I could be wrong.
I'm seeking guidance and preferably a point into the right direction in terms of what's my best option.

Concerning what I can do, I'm a good information finder, I know my way around computer systems fairly well, and I'm fairly experienced with a radio.
I can also strategize, plan out events and I'm pretty handy when it comes to organization, basically an all around support individual.

What are your opinions on my curiosity?

Thank you all in advance,

Avr Manchev
MOS 00109

As for what you can do, talk with your instructors to find out where you would like to go and ensure that gets to your Career Manager through your staff.  Having said that, your Career Manager will send you where he needs you.

I'm not sure where you got the inforamtion of what's in Kingston, but here is the DWAN link to CFB Kingston and if you click on the Loger Units tab you will see what is there.
