bosn ?
« on: March 03, 2009, 15:13:16 »
I just got my AVOTP msg, and i was wondering if any one has a link to the Ql3 course outline.

I heard from some one that the Ql3 is now incorperating the ships bording party course, is this true?

Nope, you will be trained on all the small arms in the Navy inventory because one of your duties on ship will be to help the small arms custodian. You will also be taught how to drive the RHIB and many other things that bosn's do.

I do not know the dates but QL3 Bosn courses are held at Esquimalt and Halifax. Which coast you'll be taking the course on is decided by the coast that your first ship is located.

As another Army guy looking to go Navy this brings up another question. Who is the SA custodian on a ship? Is it a senior boatswain or is it handled by another trade?

QL5 Killick will be the Small Arms custodian.

I would love to see a very hard working Bos'n being granted a BWK ticket or OIC ticket for an Orca class vessel. A CPO2 diver already did it so a PO2 Bos'n should have no problem.

P2 and P1 Bos'ns on the West Coast had their tickets for the YAGs. Why not for the Orcas. Unless there are some MARs that are worried about losing their jobs!!

I took the Tender Charge course in 2004 and understood from the bosns on the course that it was no longer part of their usual career progression at that time.  Most of them were in or on their way to a posting in which it would be useful to have, e.g. with NTS or HMCS ORIOLE.

It may also be a factor that the ORCA-class training is somewhat longer that was necessary for YAGs.
