I am applying for signal operator and may be sworn in soon, my family is in edmonton, however, I am aware I may not be posted there. My question is, if I do get posted to edmonton can anyone tell me how much field there would be in the run of a year? Also, if you could elaborate on the field duties I would be doing (as much as you can divulge) I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

- Start date
As for an Edmonton posting im not sure, they basically send you where your needed. Plan on spending the next year or so (when you get in) in a few different places. More than likely St-Jean Quebec for 11 weeks for basic (13wk course is starting soon I believe) then you will goto Borden attatched to PRETC to wait around for more training, while there you wll do your Driver training and get sent off to do SQ.. then you will goto your QL3's in kingston for 6 months.

85% of the time you will be sent to a brigade. Thats Edmonton, Petawawa, or ValCatraz. The remaining 15% get shipped across the road to CFJSR. I was posted to 1 CMBG HQ & Sigs in Edmonton for 18 months. and we spent probably 7-8 of those in the field and 3-4 just preparing or cleaning up from them. Some were only a week long, others were 6 weeks. Before they left for thier roto in Kandahar they did 8-9 weeks in Wainwright. So Edmonton isn't that hard a place to get to. If they give you grief just write a memo... memos are more powerful than ur c7

Or you can get sent to Winnipeg like myself
For some reason I doubt I'll be able to retain most of the stuff they taught at CFSCE after the first year in Winnipeg.
If you write a memo, then that can help you with your posting preferences. The guys that wrote memo's saying where they wanted to go, got their first choice for a posting.
