    "Is this the best I can do?"

    A full time career in the CF is a very demanding one.  It's not just a job, it's a lifestyle, like it or not.  Everything in your life will inevitably revolve around the requirements of the service, so I can confidently say that your joining the CF will have a very large impact on your wife's...

    I would suggest getting 8 hours a night sleep right now.  If you get yourself into the schedule of going to bed at 2200 and getting up at 0600, you shouldn't find the transition to the BMQ schedule too hard.  Remember, the schedule they put you on at CFLRS is partly designed to impart stress on...

    just that guy - I'm going to hazard a semi-educated guess here and say that, based on what you said, the CFRC has recently received confirmation that you have been selected for infantry (you're in), but they are waiting for training dates.  They are probably waiting for a slot in battle school...

    I am really glad to hear that offers have started to flow out for the DEO entry.  Congratulations to you guys for getting accepted into the Pilot programme!  I myself applied for CEOTP (Internal), but I haven't heard anything yet.  Messages were supposed to start going out last month,  but when...

    CEOTP (Continuing Ed Officer Trg Plan) 2003-2018 [Merged]

    Hey All, I have been trolling this site for the last few weeks, but I haven't found anything on this topic.  Has anyone heard any word back on CEOTP internal selection yet this year? I put my application in for pilot this year, attended Aircrew Selection in January, and haven't heard anything...

    The number of slots for entry is determined by comparing the current manning level, forecasted attrition, and service requirements.  Right now the pilot occupation is very low compared to the PML (Preferred Manning Level) so right now they are taking in as many people in a year as the training...

    Officer going NCM... does IAP BOTP CAP count for anything?

    Jane, I just finished my PLQ before Christmas, and on my course was a Cpl who transfered back to NCM from the UTPNCM program.  He completed his IAP/BOTC in the summer of '07, however due to the new PLQ course material he no longer had equivalency and therefore had to take the new PLQ course. ...

    I do have a slight idea as to what the flying duties of an Aurora pilot are, and no the thought of patrolling the Pacific Ocean for illegal fishing doesn't really excite me the way that going up for a BFM flight does.  I know that isn't all they do, but hunting for subs or other unidentified...

    That would be much appreciated.  You must have just updated your profile, because when I looked at it last you hadn't yet completed your flying training, and now you are listed as being at an operational unit, so I guess that answers my recency question. great Any other info that you could give...

    I don't know how current your information is from MJ regarding the ratio of pilots going into each stream, but I know that when I was talking to one of the I/P's at 410 he told me that there are fewer and fewer people who have a real drive to become a fighter pilot.  It is something that I have...

    I am very aware that hornet pilots don't get the highest hours in the CF, but that's OK. Yes, I do want to be an F-18 pilot, but it isn't the only position I would be happy with.  It is just my primary goal in going to the pilot occ.  My motivations definately aren't to rack up a bunch of hours...

    Has anyone heard recently about possible In Service Selection slots for Pilot?  I am an AVS tech in Cold Lake, have worked on F-18's for the last 6 years, and have just recently had LASIK done (as it is now accepted for the pilot occupation). So before I joined the military, all I wanted to do...
