I tried to choose Page 23 which was "Abandon ACISS and remuster" and ended up trapped in a COMCEN in Ottawa for 5 years. :-[

As a Sig,uh...ACISS just out of basic in june and doing OJT in petawawa while waiting for this ACISS program to begin, I have a few questions.
After completing my DP1, am I allowed to take a DP 1.1 for all three sub occupations for the 3 year period before I have to pick one?
Also, since I joined as a Sig Op, would it be possible to be fast tracked through my additional training relevant to the ACISS branch rather than bounce around for 3 years?

Very doubtful.
As well, the ACISS core occupation has no extra training after the DP1 course. We're going to start creating SigOps that can barely work radio equipment and will need maximum supervision. My suggestion to you is to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Nobody but the guy pushing this knows whats going on, and even that's debatable.

Not to be the anti-recruiter, but right now joining the Sigs branch is right up there with taking candy from strangers. If you just have to have a taste, be prepared for a sound rogering in the back of the grey over blue painted pedo van.

Nice. And 2 years from now, the future will be just as bleak when the cheap canex lawn chair folds up on us and we go back to the way it is now.

I was just on the CFSCE Sharepoint today for the ACISS implementation. All that wonderful background information is now disappeared. My FoS just stated that the branch is short at least 700 responses to the survey, which is a huge number considering the new trade is supposed to have 3200 positions.

The new deadline to complete the survey is now 31 Oct 2010. Maybe now the implementation can slip to the right as well. :nod:

They pulled the plug on that one when they migrated all the info to the MES site. I know...I know, you miss all the nifty MS projects docs and the working group minutes.

I didn't even know there was a MES website now. Marketing fail...

I've re-posted it just for you PC. ;D
It has a FAQ and contains all the presentations and such. It's not just the survey.

Hey everyone,
Just looking for a bit of info here. I'm done bmq in two weeks, I was enrolled as an lcis tech, and have my posting message to Kingston already. I know the amalgamation is happening in the new year. I was just wondering what the hell is going to happen? Will I get thrown on PAT? What training will I do when it is time? am I going to even be a tech? I've read through a good portion of this thread and it has left me with more questions then answers. Should I try to get out of the trade?

You won't seem the cataclysm that the rest of us that are trained already will see. Just worry about your BMQ, and you were already going to sit on PAT for a while. If you're enrolled, your number has already been counted against a position.

As of Jan 1, you won't even have a trade to get out of.
Expect to show up on PAT and be prepared to wait. Maybe they'll throw you on a drivers course.
From my understanding, you will start at the very beginning of the ACISS stream, do the common DP1 (QL3) and be posted to a Signal Sqn.
Seeing as you originally joined as a tech, that may earmark you into the CST stream after your posting, but according to the training timelines shown, it'd be about 3 years before you see yourself qualified.
Like PuckChaser advised, worry about your BMQ, and you'll figure things out as they happen, much like the rest of us.
