DCO...Thank you. To this I would agree with to some extent, but I would say that the best way to communicate is to speak to someone at their level of comprehension.  One doesn't have to talk down to them, twist their words to suit one's desires or be condecending; but should rather communicate...

I may be fairly new here, but I am going to express my opinion on this topic anyways. The OP has expressed an opinion of displeasure of the general flaming that occurs on this site when somebody asks a simple question.  There is nothing wrong with that, people should feel free to come on the...

I hear you.  I have applications for both the CEOTP and UTPNCM programmes, and the DGMC ISS website says that those messages are supposed to go out in Feb as well...the suspense is killing me too. If it helps you any, my CoC asked my WPSO for an update, and she stated that she hasn't seen...

If you read the competition message it will tell you that offers are to commence on 01 Feb and go all the way through until the end of March.  Secondary offers to start on 01 Apr, no file updates to be requested until end of April.  If you don't get selected you won't find that out until May. ...

I can only speak to the CF-18 fleet, where they are qualified to carry out aircraft servicing tasks such as towing, refuelling, before and after flight checks, etc.  But they are not usually tasked to carry out these functions as they are usually busy doing such things as weapons convoys while...

They do.  From the Recruiting Website: "The AWS TECH is responsible for the maintenance of aircraft air weapons systems from storage to target including all mechanical and electronic components.".  That means the systems on the aircraft in addition to the weapons themselves. Mods - could we...

No.  They also work on the CP-140 and other aircraft that carry stores, and they also man all the Air Force munitions depots (bomb dumps).  There are also a few Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) units in the AF that are manned by these personnel.

AWS Tech is a spec trade, and is being brough back from the dead because it is quite specialized.  AVN Techs on the CF-18 (the primary kill-store fleet in the CF) are split up into three streams - AVN "A" (Propulsion Systems), AVN "B" (Airframe), and AVN "C" (AWS/Life Support/Safety Systems)...

The best chance of getting yourself on the coast would be to go AES Op, but it's just as likely that you could end up on the west coast as well.  And even if you did end up going back to Halifax after the extensive training you would go through, there is no guarantee that you would stay there. ...

Did the BPSO tell you what specifically you needed to upgrade?  Taking a math course won't help you with the spatial or language portions of the exam... You need to get a hold of the education officer/counsellor for your base, who may be co-located with the BPSO.  They will be able to provide...

World (National Lampoon's Vacation)

Definitely!  I would hope that the machine you tested yourself on is a little out on calibration, cuz if it's accurate you're quite hypotensive, which can be just as, if not more, dangerous than hypertensive. Among other things, it can cause light-headedness or sudden unconsiousness (esp after...

The launch bar on the nose landing gear is also still there, but has been rendered non-functional.  IIRC it's just there for weight and balance issues and to maintain integrity of the hydraulic system. (also easier to mod than to remove...)

I think this is the biggest problem with the program.  Many individuals think this is an easier program, but it is in fact both a harder and riskier route to take in the path to a successful career as an officer in the CF.  Members run a much higher risk of reversion or release in the event of a...

I submitted for PLT in both the UTPNCM and CEOTP programs.

DGMC has a DWAN page for In-Service Selection at http://hr.ottawa-hull.mil.ca/dgmc/engraph/InServiceSelection_e.asp You can find everything from overviews of all the Programs to the competition messages, application submission requirements, and of course the ISS Annual Program Schedule.  Please...

There is actually quite a bit of truth in this.  One of the major complaints that I hear on this base (Cold Lake) is how isolated it is from a large urban center.  It could be much more attractive to prospective recruits if there were more urban locations that they could be posted to, and more...
