Well for all the comms guys and wanna-bees(me!) NESA is having for the very first time a mission communications school that will go over but not limited to:Construction and application of Antennas, assembly of operating positions, basic trouble shooting, message handling.
Anybody going? I know I am.

More than likely, I will be at the NESA GTL school this summer. I might think about going to the FRS course but I doubt I will be able to swing that one...
Yeah I just really wish FRS and comms school were on seperate weeks so I could go to both. But I guess you can't have your cake and eat it to.(never really got that saying because if I have a fork I am going to eat my cake assuming I have it ;D)
What do you need the fork for??? Don't you have fingers?
OK back on topic, anyone else planning on doing anything NESA this year? Fedor???
Hahaha. ;D
You'll most likely find me at the Mission Aircrew School causing some form of trouble.
Not to gain say any more training.....I love training.
But, is there really a need for a week long comm course?
Being a 22 year comm technican it only takes so long to teach people how to set up the radios and antennas.
Maybe they go more in depth into tactical communications and planning considerations? Like where to put your high bird or how to create a good communications plan? Perhaps making field expedient antennas is part of it. I'm sure they can fill a week with all of that stuff. Not to mention the all important monitoring of four radios while trying to eat a ham sandwich... >:D
i've done that before except it was mcdonalds haha.. anyways iam hoping no praying that they cover alot of the stuff a normal comms class wouldn't.

That's only fun when it's being eaten while sitting on the squad bench in the back of a moving ambulance while trying to explain to the newbie on your crew the life and death implications of your job.
Steve J, we shall squash your NESA trouble. Or encourage it, I forget which.
Good luck and good hunting,
