Clearances take forever for even us already in. Not unheard of clearances taking 2 years. Clearances, never, I repeat never come back "way faster". As I mentioned above, even us members wait and wait and wait some more for our clearances, even after I 1st one. Ships make me dizzy.... so have...

Cleaerance is not the same as relability. Clearance, unless you have foreign implications, won't be started until St. Jean. Otherwise what they are doing is a reliability check, which should take around a month if nothing is flagged. A clearacne are backed up now and you can wait 2 years for a TS.

I am born Canadian. Even I had some bumps as I lived overseas for a while. It is a job where you may need to be trusted with lots of sensitive information. Tell me, would the country you live in hire brand new immigrants who are not full citizens? I know most don't. So be patient. It is a...

Majority of BMQs are still at St. Jean, unless reserves.

Hacking is not just for electronics. ;) Nerds will inherit the earth. Watch out.

Sure hope you don't use online banking my friend. But judging by the car you chose, I would say you still keep your money in your sock draw.

Reserve recruiting is seperate from regular force. Usually they hire for the position at that unit. So you would have to find out from the unit if there are int op positions.

The only crypto is cryptography. Nothing runs in our world without cryptography. ;)

Cyber folks have interesting opportunities anyways... I will not get into details, obviously. ;)

Take a hint from my username and the answers I gave. And you are welcome.

No exemption. Most positions are analyst based. Investigating incidents and such. Look up SOC analyst on google, That is much of the work. There are opportunities in other, more, specialised duites, but you will have to prove yourself. Anything else, as others said, classified. Private as it...

I have been a leader my friend. Spent quite a few years as a tech lead, thanks. Manage people's expectations, sure, being a part of the problem. I had paperwork sit on my chains desk after them pushing me to get in on time. So it is one thing to manage expectations, it is another to say, ah...

I would disagree with you. As those in sig o/ CELE are not aware often of the world in cyber. Seriously. People in positions to make critical decisions are ones with the lack of experience in the field. We are seeing it now with PLARS and training plans.

Same with my trade, no officer equivalent. Also no recruiter suggested it, perhaps because of the trade I work in? Not sure. I have my degree and was senior in my position before I left to serve, as it was a dream. Dream is not so slowly dimming.

Even if they have no power, they could see the a problem with the speed of government. Just not caring, even if you "can't do anything" is apathy towards the situation and why things never change.

Well aware the CAF is large. Just my experience so far. All I keep getting told is "the speed of government". Not once has my CoC said, oh you are right. Nope. Just hey, quell your expections this is not the private sector, cool your jets. So many not all departnments/units/dets are like that...

Gee, I need to listen to higher ups and I need to do my job well. I would make the argument corporate transfers are better off. In the private sector, many of the members I have run across would be axed in the private sector. The appathy for doing anything with urgency and well seems to go out...

Seen plenty of 22 - 23 year old officers who have never had a management/leadership roles try to tell veteran staff how to do something, just because of rank. A smart manager will listen to experienced staff.

Funny you said about training tied to industry. I was told my certs, or civvie work had no value in the CAF. Basically if you have a couple of college level courses and that is it, you will have a better chance at PLAR than a veteran in the space with years and years of experience. Which I...

Never heard of this or the person. Curious. Because PLARs in cyber are rare (as someone who came from 15+ years in the private sector, I know), and there are no cyber officers. So he would have to be Sig O or CELE. I can ask around. (EDIT) Most likely CELE.
