sidemount -- the ACSO/Air Nav occupation is going through changes as the CF tries to figure out which airframes and air communities require a nav.  You probably know that navs are employed in 4 different communities: AirMobility/SAR, Long Range Patrol, Marine Helo, and Electronic Warfare.  The...

The CAPSS guide (if you're going to Trenton).  Many times the pilot and ACSO trades are tested at the same time. If you're just writing the paper test at your own CFRC don't worry about any guide.

I did the ACSO testing about 14 months ago.  Don't worry, don't panic, don't psych yourself up over it.  Just read the guide and review high school math.  My only regret is that I never went back and reviewed my highschool math.

That list looks plausible... and certainly fits the abbreviation on my ID discs.  Where did you find it?

Yes AGC seems to make more sense doesn't it?  :) I know the list I've found and your lists aren't complete as I remember the clerks going through the options, and they included wiccan, rastafarian and a couple other memorable choices.  It's gotta be somewhere.... I'll keep looking.

Hey I didn't make up the abbreviations :) , I'm just looking for the list.  I know that what I've found so far isn't complete, because my denomination isn't on the list.  But it IS on my ID discs... For those who are curious, I told the clerks back in basic I was part of the associated gospel...

@Simian - Yes, thanks.  I saw that list as well while browsing... it's much longer than the one I have earlier in this thread but it doesn't include the abbreviations and I do not believe it is a comprehensive list (for ID disc purposes).  For instance, my denomination on my tags doesn't appear...

Anyone have a softcopy of CFAO 26-4 handy?  I'm trying to gather a list of the abbreviations of all the religions that appear on Cdn ID discs. It seems that the official CFAOs aren't available online (http://www.admfincs.forces.gc.ca/cfa-oaf/index-eng.asp).  I've searched the forums for CFAO...

I recently completed my basic course in St-Jean and will be flying to my new unit via commercial air this coming week.  The instructions were to wear CADPAT with blue (air force) toque while in transit.  Does this mean I wear my toque to the airport and then go bareheaded inside + on plane...

I'm scheduled for BMOQ in St-Jean starting Sept 4... trade is ACSO (formerly Air Nav)

I am scheduled to start BMOQ at St-Jean in September 2010 and would like to know if I can continue to shave with my straight razor.  My current shaving kit includes the razor, a 14"x2"leather strop, boar's hair brush and solid shaving soap.  I noticed that most posts in this forum consider...
