    May BMOQ?

    Has anyone received word yet on if we need to order up and bring our kit (helmet, mask, boots, etc) to BMOQ? Or are we supposed to hold off, and we'll be issued it once we arrive?  I gather there is a message coming out soon which will mention it. It seems the west coast is the last to receive...

    Zero Pilots Being Hired in 2009?

    Yikes So how does this affect the ROTP candidates who applied last year for selection this year? Are we still under the 2008/2009 fiscal year, even though we still haven't received our MOC's yet, and likely wont until July? If I recall, they were taking 51 ROTP pilots for 2008/2009. Is this...

    May BMOQ?

    I recall reading that there are over 600 new officer cadets this year on ROTP. How many can they fit onto one course?

    The Electric Car Thread- Merged

    Rotary FTW. Find another motor that will make 500 rwhp on just 11 psi of boost.  8) I don't have much hope for these purely electric cars.  Although, within 2 years time new Lithium batteries will be on the market which will charge much much faster. What would normally take 6 minutes to...

    Collapsed Lung + No Medical History

    Pretty involved. Will take the whole day. Heart Ultrasound Vision Testing (Colour, Distance) Hearing Lung Capacity Body dimensions - to determine your suitability for airframes ECG I might be forgetting a few. EDIT: Oh, Check X-rays as well which are completed at Trenton.

    Aircrew Selection/ACS (Merged)

    About 50% average I think based on what I've read from others who have gone through. Edit: They told our group that they don't need to pass anyone. Sometimes of a group of 10-13, no-one will pass. Other cases, like this one, almost the whole group passed. Which is not too common.

    Do you mean Air Ops?  Under the current system, you wont know if you earned pilot until your 2nd year of school.

    MOC Assignment Interview

    I was also expecting to hear what we've been selected for, before our course starts in May. But based on the letters sent out through e-mail about these interviews, I'm expecting not to find out till half way through. From the e-mail:  This refers to Phase 4 (Letting us know the outcome of...

    Top soldier's farewell cost taxpayers $270,000

    Top soldier's farewell cost taxpayers $270,000

    This isn't the cost of just the salute right? Or the whole ceremony related to the salute? Not that Gen. Hiller hasn't earned it, but why does a 21-gun salute on its own cost 4 grand when a Snow Bird flyby costs only 5 times more? ??? Just curious, what did I not take into account?

    I sure hope it doesn't apply to ROTP this year. Just finished my MOC interview today.

    Aerospace Control Officers-AEC [merged]

    Great Post. I've got a quick question, what kind of work does an AEC do for this? I'm assuming WPNS = Weapons. Thank you Edit: Been reading some more: So the weapons controllers work on AWACS? Edit2: found it :) http://www.forces.ca/interactive/controller/splash.html

    ROTP at Civilian University 2004 - 2018 [Merged]

    I wasn't, no.  If I recall, when you sign your contracts, you are given dates by which time you should contact your assigned ULO. If you don't contact them, then the Clear-in procedure will not start, and you certainly won't get paid. Your ULO likely wont call you until way past the suggested...

    ROTP at Civilian University 2004 - 2018 [Merged]

    And don't expect the pay to just start automatically either.  There is a long winded clear-in procedure you have to do with your ULO and the Payroll/records clerks before your pay will start. I've heard stories from my ULO that past students never caught on to this, and didn't start getting...
