and mine is that a bad day in the air force is better than any good day i have had in the army.......
Sorry for lashing out, was having a bad day.lol the airforce isnt that bad, you actually have to use your brain, not just brawn. i have learned quite a bit in the airforce, it just isnt for everyone. that and the location sucks, i am in cold lake.

Hey K-P,
Thanks for your last reply. I think it is important for people to remember that we all different strengths, aptitudes, and preferences. Just because a certain individual doesn't fit a particular mold doesn't necessarily mean that either the environment sucks or the individual sucks. Sometimes it is just a matter of a poor match.
The same can be said for the relationship between some people and their jobs - look at me... I'm still looking for a job that I can do half decently!!! ;D That's the great thing about the CF, you can try something new every few years. Sooner or later you are bound to find something that is a good fit.
Cheers,
Sam

Hey Sam, very true, i to will eventually find a trade that i like.lol after a tour or two with the infantry, i think i will be looking at another trade. maybe hulltech, comms research, theres a few that peak my interest. but while i am still somewhat young(29), i will get all the fun stuff out of the way.

Well, it used to be that way. I just had the new Terms of Service brief, and with respect to voluntary OT's you'll now owe 2 years over and above the time it takes to get qual'd in your new occupation. Scary prospect, so plan your future wisely. Can anyone elaborate more?

There is no truth to that whatsoever.......
a few are of us are going to cold lake and the others are going to helicopter units and herc world. I would say how many to each but due to a little security i wont. Really this course is designed for the F18 world. Even though all we got to do was look at the F18, we worked on the tutor mainly with some helicopter theory on the Lab's and an old twin Huey. But you could tell the main focus was towards F18's. Only the future will tell as to what and how the course develops. We technically finished 2 weeks ago and now carrying out training to which we never did due to lack of training aids at the time. I wont say what we are actually doing as their are prying eyes on here that don't look to kindly to me posting about them. Needless to say when i use to kick the Gun box it was similar.
I think as for postings and such if you actually get a choice in the future then it all depends on what you want . I mean most of the east coast guys want to go their and same for the west coast. A lot of the ex army guys want to go to Tac Hel. as for facilities. go to the bases web pages and look for your self. Depends on what you like doing and your style of life choice. I mean if you are into huge bars and raves cold lake or Pet may not be for you.
