While I am waiting to be loaded on a DP1 course, I have the opportunity to take some courses through Microsoft Total Access at globalknowledge.com  https://www.globalknowledge.com/ca-en/course/121362/microsoft-total-access-collection/ Would any of these modules in particular be useful to take?

I know why they can't start as spec, same reason CSTs didn't start as spec.  That's not the point.  Everyone's pay is still effed up from the last time we went "through the process", and that took what, 7 years?  This is only going to make things worse.

So latest RUMINT is the new tech trade will be Sig Tech 000385.  And for the chaser, when the new trade is stood up, it apparently has to be at standard pay rate as per Treasury Board rules.... :-D

That is the situation for ISTs I think, since they didn't have the backpay balance appear in on their pay account in March last year. Most, if not all CSTs had the back pay appear on their pay balance in March last year, Revenue Canada thinks they were paid it in 2017.  My 2017 T4 has me...

Hey look, right again!  I hate it when that happens.  At this rate, I probably won't even be paid mid-month.

Hardly.  Most CSTs have been on manually inputted pay since the spec pay back pay debacle started in March last year.  Didn't stop them from screwing up my end Feb pay, clawed back 7 months of spec pay that I never received, a time period that started AFTER my OT went through.  :facepalm:

Probably a shot in the dark, but does anyone know/have an idea how long TS clearances are taking nowadays?  I got a response from Ottawa about an inquiry about my request that was submitted in June, and they say routine requests are lower pri then those for tours and OUTCAN postings.  Any idea...

Fvcked again. How is DP2.0 relevant to being a tech?  Its a core course!  But hey, it's only 2.5 years of back pay down the toilet.

I hate being right.  Went to my pay clerk today to ask about when I will see my back pay, was told that they have received direction from Ottawa.  Of course, that directive is to only pay to legacy LCIS with the old qual code.  Yay.  Oh, and those of us with f**ked up tax situations will receive...

When is pay inputed into the system?  I'm one of the credit on my pay account, if I don't see the backpay at the end Dec, I still have a tax/EI headache to deal with.

Just arrived in my inbox. I have complete faith that someone, somewhere, somehow will completely eff this up as usual.

I want to start an ILP with George Brown college in their Electronics Engineering Technician Diploma.  The prerequisite is their Electronics Technician Certificate Program, which looks like a carbon copy of the old POET, which I took in 2011.  Does anyone know someone in CFSCE who I can contact...

I was told I was slotted for the next DP1 course starting 18th Sept, but have not heard anything.  My BTL coordinator is on leave, so having a hard time getting an answer.  It's well past the 30 days prior mark, so is it safe to assume I'm not on it?

Thanks for the reply.  OJE might be tricky, I'm in Edmonton, not too much EW in this neck of the woods.  What about an ILP?

So I've accepted my OT offer to go Comm Rsch, going on BTL July 13th.  Just wondering what will happen next.  I am assuming I will stay at my current base until I do my phase 1, then back home until I get my clearance, back for part 2, then posting to Letrim or 21EW. Or will I go to Kingston...
