You should have either a confirmed or a tentative date for Aircrew selection based on the dates you provided to your recruiting centre. At the very least, your File Manager should have contacted you regarding your availability for ASC. When you have that date, you will probably meet with your...

Read one of the many ASC threads that are available on this forum! They have a lot of information in them. Good luck. EDIT: You should have been briefed on ASC by either your File Manager or your MCC. Did you receive a CAPSS manual?

From what I have read on this forum, and after receiving a few PM's from people wondering how I even received an ASC date, it sounds like there are some who have been waiting for a while at a much earlier stage.  Personally, I would be happy to have ASC completed successfully let alone a...

Dejo, I am currently completing the final phase of the Pilot application process through CEOTP. With my ERC in hand, I waited more than one year before I received an ASC date. Then again, I may be on their 'B' list.  ;D Don't tap out because the wait is longer than you would like. Good luck.

I'm sorry to hear that. Many have failed aircrew and been successful on their second attempt. When you are ready, get back on the horse and start beefing up your next application. Good luck!

Heheh. So can you tell us if there a stall warning in the sim?  ;) Good luck today!!!

Ah, I remember the step test: Up 2...3 DOWN 2...3... with really cheesy music in the background. I remember being told, "wipe that smile off your face Private" during the test.

I can't tell you why this bothers me so much, but ASC or ACS - it is amazing how many people feel they have to find the secret to passing the tests on the forum. There are numerous threads that say, "there is no secret to ASC" so why start another? There are many test/evaluations in the CF. Do...

Well said. I was 31 on my first parade. There are enough mental tests ahead of you; don't let your age be one of them. Good luck Pops! Oops I mean Wolfmaan.  ;)

bbell, grades are a part of your score. My point was that if you had low grades in your transcripts, it could hurt your chances. Other applicants may have "jumped" ahead of me, but it was because I did not meet the required score to receive an ASC date at that time. I guess I was using my...

CEOTP

Not necessarily two years for all applicants - timing, entry plan, your suitability, and the CF's requirements have a lot to do with it. When I applied, it was early in the year and from what I understand the CF's priority didn't include having more untrained Pilots in the system; they were...

From what I understood during my interview, and don't quote me on it, having a degree did not mean that much during the selection process unless of course you were applying DEO: you had to have one. Having said that, a degree will really help your total score if your grades were exceptional. If...

I think they made the right call on Capt. Lewis. I personally liked the pre-centrifuge 4 layer burger and smoke shot of Capt. Lewis. They say that helps the Pilot for the test, but those combined with nerves, I think I would be in the can not the centrifuge.

A lot of people with zero experience have made it through ASC. Don't worry about it. Go with an open mind and good luck.

I think they proposed that solution but the city decided not to go ahead with it because it would cost too much money to install. Just like our light rail issues in Ottawa, it seems this issue will go on for a long time.

I caught last night's show and I also caught last week's Truth Duty Valour from 8 wing. These programs are the CF's best recruiting tools in my opinion. I know they just touch the surface of what might be involved or demanded through the occupation, but it was nice to get a first hand glimpse of...

I'll second that. I got sick of drinking chalky grape juice (especially during the "loading phase") and having enough time to read the entire paper in the bathroom. Blech. I haven't touched it in years, but I can still taste it and my stomach tightens up just thinking about it. Classic flavour...

We have a Jack Russell Terrier. She is 4 and full of energy. I hear she will slow down around 12 or 13.  :-\ The kids have some "fishies" that become daddy's when you can't see them through the glass anymore...

It is starting up again. I recently received a date in April. Weiss, if you haven't already had the interview, I am sure you can imagine what sort of questions they will ask you. It isn't that bad. Start thinking about your answers and good luck! I've had so many different worries/thoughts...
