Logisitcs Officers/NCMs

[ggranatstein]

I wanted to start a thread for those working in Logisitcs.

It is the field in which I am entering and I wanted to know if anyone had some information or experience relating to the branch that they wished to share.

It‘s not as ‘glamorous‘ as the combat arms, but it is a real necessity!

What would you like to discuss?

 

[ggranatstein]

How are the first stages of the training?

How is the job in general...

you know...

Well, for you specifically:

BOTP(R) + CAP(R) -- no Logistics specific training
CAP(R) might be the least fun (or most fun, depending on your point of view) of all your courses. Makes you promotable to 2Lt.

Basic Classification Training (BCT) - first part is a self-study package, introduces you to the bigger picture and Logistics specific concepts. Second part (most probably in Borden) applies the stuff from first part and trains you to be a duty officer in a Svc Bn; road moves, dump orders, platoon sitings, radio work. Qualifies you as Lt (with time in).

Then it‘s ICT --> branches off into Finance or Supply and Transport. Don‘t know about ICT Fin but ICT S&T trains you for the next level. And I think how to run a QM (not sure).

That should keep you busy for the foreseeable future.

I am also going in Logistics. I will complete my degree on April 23 and should go for the Basic in St-Jean in May or June. (I still have to do the interview so it‘s not official.)

Where and when are you going to do your basic?

They change the promotion criteria in Nov 03. Until they change it again, you now need ICT to be promotable to Lt.

And you waited over three years from the last post to add your comment, without even trying to answer it yourself.
