[Bowne18]

can anyone tell me a list of trades that are open right now and would be easy to get occupational reassignment into??

 

[rmacqueen]

Talk to your PSO, they have that information and would be happy to talk to you about it

Try also a recruiting centre for numbers of recruits.  Lots of sig ops and infantrymen are being hired.

[MARS2INF]

So long as you have a CF account ( i.e. a member of the CF - a requirement to be eligible for a VOT ) you have DIN access on any CF base in the country...

Anyone ever switch elements?  I was looking at switching elements, rec. office said it was easy once in to do (not sure if I believe that), then I submitted it in basic, they said wait till ur posted out, now its that time.... any stories about it??? or ideas to insert in the memo, etc..>?  Thanks.

...a couple of guys in my platoon did a transfer from Infantry into MARS and ATC during basic training. I'm not sure what they put into the memo or request, but it was granted pretty quickly.

 

[chrisvisneskie]

I mean say from army to air force, or navy to army, etc....

 

[MARS2INF]

yes, understood.

from Infantry (Army) to MARS (Navy) and ATC (Air Force)

I read the rules on occupational reassignment the other day, so lets hope I get this right.

An occupational reassignment is when you change trades, and you are not yet QL3 qualified in a trade.

No longer can you do an occupational reassignment in basic training like you could before.

To do an occupational reassignment, you must submit in writing your request.  You can submit this request either:

after 30 days into your occupational training (QL3); or

afer 90 days post-BMQ employment.

Once you are QL3 qualified in the trade you joined up as, I believe than you can no longer ask for an occupational reassignment, which means you need to meet the time requirements of LOTP, AVOTP or COTP (or the officer versions of those programs) before you can request an Occupational Transfer.

Please anyone add to this is I missed a point or got something wrong.

  Hey guys....I'm in school right now, so I dont actually have any time to talk to a pso or get on the DIN, but just to reiterate the first post....does anyone know off hand what trades are in the red right now? 

 

[Snowy91]

Infantry is in constant red

 

[honestyrules]

Infantry is in constant red

I guess Combat engineer is the same...

With a little searching on the CFRG BORDEN ftp site (DIN) you can find all kinds of goodies that will answer any questions you have about what trades are red/yellow/green......
