Well done lads, you have a great career ahead of you. It is a privilege to wear the wing, you earned it. Connor, I grew up with your mother at the Sliz cottage on Caledon Lake. Bill Barber Para Rescue Crse. 21 (1983) “That Others May Live”
I wish this is ŵhat the CAF reserves was built around with unique specializations you can venture into to join the squadron in your local area on missions they specialize in. Would be so cool. They need to bring this capability to reservists in a way that makes sense for training, deployment locally, etc
@@1anre It would be nice to have but these kind of specialized trades have way too much training and money put into their training to be feasible for the reserves to just take part occasionally. The CAF needs return on investment so SAR techs have 4-5 years of mandatory service after graduation. You can be an operational SAR Tech reservist, but you have to have already been fully qualified so usually it's people who have been operational for a while and looking to slow down a little. There are definitely some other cool courses that are avail to certain trade reservists though, like medical air Evac, para, dive etc.
I hope to one day have an opportunity to learn from you guys as a nasar wilderness sartech2. A whole different class, am getting my parawings this year and working towards my wilderness emt and finishing my rope rescue. All with the hope on one day running with these guys so I can bring the knowledge back to my own country. Its my job doing so as a country coordinator
Hey, I realize I'm a little late, but I have a question that you might be able to answer. I was wondering how many times a year you respond to a call and how many of them are serious. How many are in the ocean, how many are in the mountains, and how many are in the snow?
The Joint Rescue Coordination Centers (JRCC) get a few thousand calls a year, SAR techs to about a thousand or so. All rescues are different, but aeronautical and marine rescues are our primary mandate, with also assisting other land based rescues if it gets too technical, challenging, or time sensitive for other rescue assets (volunteer SAR, RCMP, fire, etc). Essentially every rescue is serious, with a few mild patient transfers on rare occasion.
Gents.....congrats to you all and btw fantastic tunes! Extremely well done. Brings back lots of great memories. Dan Sanscartier Course 20 1982!

Yes
You can apply for SAR Tech after 3 years in Infantry.
Did you have any structural firefighters from the military in this hiring class?
No CAF firefighters this time. But there have been some who went SAR tech and it's open to any trade in the CAF.

Most of our mountain climbing is in Jasper National Park, I can't remember what the mountain name was sorry.
