Hey everyone. So I did PFT last summer and am currently on OJT awaiting moosejaw, which I am slated for next april (yay backlog). Anyway, I've just been thinking about what I'm going to tell people I want to fly when I get out there. I've always wanted to fly SAR helicopter, especially the...

I ordered the forage cap with free points this summer, but I still don't have a cap badge on it yet.

I received an e-mail from a Captain in Borden telling me I am going to be headed to portage this summer for primary flight training. Good news! So I have been writing a few of you private messages looking for advice, but figured I may as well start a new topic on the forums here. I have zero...

  Thanks a bunch. That post was very helpful.     The situation is still unresolved as of right now. I get home this weekend though so hopefully I  will find out all the details in the next week or so. I still don't have a plan set in stone.                     Zach

  Thanks guys for the encouragement.     I've been talking to my ULO and my optomotrist lately.. and my eye doctor is saying nothing is wrong with my eyes so there should not be anything to worry about. On the forces side of things they are saying the problem came from when I saw an...

  I think I need to get in contact with some AirNav's and other people who have experience in different trades before I will be able to make my decision. I really am lost and need some advice from someone who knows more about all of my different options.     Thanks to everyone here who has...

  Another update on my progress...     I was enrolled today in Saint John, New Brunswick. I signed a 12 year contract as Pilot. I had to do a bunch of paperwork and then pledge allegiance to the queen in front of my parents, and three other officer cadets who were enrolled at the same time as...

I remember reading an engineering degree or one with a background in physics were preferred, but that pretty much every degree program offered by recognized universities will do.     Zach

  Those of us that passed AirCrew were transported by military van to toronto, right to a hotel off of Yonge Street. Our rooms were already prebooked for us - all we had to do was check in and pay...         Zach

  I couldn't tell you what I did that made me pass ACS, nor if I failed would I of been able to say what I did that made me fail. I guess when it all comes down to it, it really doesnt matter whether we know or not. When your done, you either pass or fail and thats all there is to it. Perhaps it...
