I was granted my QL5 on the Aurora fleet after completing my type training about 10 months after landing in Greenwood. Of course AVS and other Fleets may vary.

When i joined the AVN VIE(variable inital engagement) was a 5 year contract. FYI  :salute:

Answer: All we have is monel (that i could find, even in tool crib) but our job only required monel, so were all good. I looked through the CFTO's at various install jobs (not all of them, of course) and only found one reference that required me to use inconel, and that was on the exhaust cone...

Like I said, I was told to use a certain kind at work by my Cpl and didnt question it.  I was thinking about it this weekend and was just wondering if anyboday had an answer.  If you know a link to the CFTO's from home, please send. :rage:  I'm a new guy just looking for a quick answer before I...

I was told by my senoir Cpl that all we have is monel and its for hot zones but I got to thinking about it this weekend and it just didnt seem right to me so I thought id ask before I went back to work tomorrow. Why, does anybody know how to install a prop off hand here?

Been having a debate and wanted to know if anyone can help. Just wondering wich type of safety wire (lock wire) is prefered in a hot zone, Monel or Inconel? Thought we were taught in Borden to use Inconel but my retention on this subject may be shadey.  :blotto: -Oz

As a side note: I think 407 Sqn has started to add the Sqn's 407 over the "canada" in Comox.

I took me 2 months to get my Q when I arrived in Borden Jan '06 and I heard thats pretty standard if not better than to get all the paperwork sorted out.

Great link DEZSkls its perfect for practicing the run and I dig the background music too!  ^-^

Engine bay is a place I was looking forward to.  :'( That news was new to me. I never thought of Armament that way BlueGrunt you make is sound pretty good actually. I still wont be the first to volunteer but might not kick so much if volen-told.

So would that mean you could join the CF as a Armament Tech? Or will it be a AVN spinoff? Just curious as I would prefer NOT to a weapon tech, Not that theres anything wrong with that.  ;D Just Seems like it might be a slow job in Greenwood.  :P

It would seem some of what I was told was true. As expected this selection has passed me by but there is always next time. I can only assume training will be in Aldershot to keep guys closer to home for a while (guys from Greenwood anyway).  :P Blue Grunt and Loachman how would you rate your...

0-6 and my carpool buddy is the same.

The best I've heard in my short career is my buddy's (whos airforce) wife saying we shouldnt be in Iraq.  ??? ..and shes married to the military!!! Oh well, ignorance is bliss, I guess.  :blotto:

Air force.  AVN tech, 2.5 years served. 22.5 to go  :salute:

Didnt get to the TUAV briefing in Greenwood but as I understand it the basic idea is that were going to be less Army dependent in regard to UAV's. Were going to do all the work and we'll have the Army there for support. But this is second hand info. I only posted it because there is not much...

No problem man, anytime.  :salute:

lateralus, I finished the course 6 months ago now. But I didnt find my Borden experience too bad and now that I look back it was a pretty good time. In my limited time in Greenwood I love the trade and have no regrets about going AVN. Everybody complains about there job but in the big picture...

Yea, I got an E-mail at work stating theres going to be a meeting about this topic in a few weeks.  I should know more then.

Wow, not at all what I was told  :P Thanks Oz
