View Full Version : For all my opponents
You guys have probably all noticed that I've slowed down somewhat in my turns played.
Well, it's because I've suddenly gone from shift work, which allowed me several turns a day while the kids were in school, to a straight day position. Now I can only get out anywhere from 1 to 3 turns out a day, depending on the scenario.
To make matters worse, I increased my game load from an average of 6 games to having 11 on the go right before going on straight days. This caught me a little by surprise, but fear not my comrades, in about 4 weeks, I'll be back on shift work.

NP Pierre...as long as our game is one of the 1-4 turns you get out each day, you'll have no complaints from me :p

I've been temporarily transfered over to the maintenance section to help in rebuilding a Labrador helicopter (similar to a US H-46).

Search and Rescue, it is true that Canada is a very small country :D
Are you part of a rescue team, or you are affected to a barracks for maintening helo's.
I'm curious sorry I don't want to be rude. But to understand how others people are living is very enriching

My Squadron (424 S&R (Tiger)Squadron)(that's where I get my handle) is a fully deployable Search and Rescue team that includes all trades from SAR techs to pilots to maintainers. We have responsibility for over 1.5 million square miles of territory.
My old unit in Nova Scotia had to cover 2.5 million square miles, 1.5 million of which was over the Atlantic.
LoL...sounds like Der Wanderer is conducting a stealth interview on the de facto King of the Interview, here at WHQ. A fitting change...:cheeky:
I also have slowed down. I have five games going and all are monster games. But my biggest problem I work 4 to 5 12 hour shifts per week, usually without a break. After 12 hours in a busy Emergency Room, I am beat. I make most of my moves on the days I am off.

Seriously, the territory to suvey is of immense size.
What kind of people you are rescuing, tourist lost? or local people.
You know for US Canada is a wild territory, Flat, up to Rocky mountains, plenty of forest with indians and innuits.
I'm not kidding but is there lot of roads in norther parts ? Or all relly on plane or helicopters? Skidoo in winters, I known that old time with husky is good for Frenchies dreaming of Wild territories :D

Yeah. It's a huge search area, but SARSATs are a big help.
Of course for a SARSAT to work, the a/c or boat has to be equipped with an ELT or an EPIRB. A great tool to have if you happen to travel in the northern part of the country where roads are few and far in between.

We search for anybody who is lost.
From the little girl down the street to an aircraft that goes down in the ocean.
In fact in the early nineties (1990?), 413 Sqn in Nova Scotia rescued IIRC over 600 people in the course of a year. That was the year a 707 went down in the Atlantic off Newfoundland. A very busy year, I can tell you.

Actually, that is done by the Aurora Maritime Patrol Aircraft. There have already been several successful prosecutions of pollution cases due in large part to the work of the MPA Squadrons.
