I am so glad to see that I am not the only one going a little crazy with the waiting game.  I may be a little off on the theory, but I think the messages for UTPNCM and ROTP come out around the same timeframe.  It makes sense because all the applications get forwarded to RMC for review so they...

I couldn't tell you how long you will be on PAT, but congratulations on your OT! EDIT: Sorry, that's CT, not OT.  ;D

So to answer the question...you pretty much have a snowball's chance in hell of not coming to Cold Lake.  For some reason people try to avoid this place like the plague, but in my opinion it is what you make of it.  Even if you try the OT route you still need to APPLY through one of the...

I was a bit, but not so much now. Offers went out last year around this time and neatly coincided with ROTP offers. I'm pretty sure that's not a coincidence (RMC gets to pick for both programs, might be a bottleneck) and ROTP offers have not gone out yet. So now I am waiting on the premise that...

I dunno, it doesn't sound like you have enough experience in the CF to bypass BMQ... ;D In all seriousness, I only said "should" because you never know, there could always be some exception made due to somebody's circumstances.  I don't want to mislead someone into thinking that they will...

Now that's a lot of questions!  Settle down, because those 77 positions are for CTs AND new recruits.  They will *probably* run approx 6 courses of 12 over the year in Borden, and they will stagger them through the year.  Now here's the part that makes life hard: Usually they will course load a...

Manowar, that piece of art you just wrote brought back some pretty fantastic memories!  It's definitely true, the crappy times in basic, like orienteering out in Farnham in the middle of December and walking on a back-bearing for an hour and a half at oh-dark-stupid (I wanted to shoot that guy)...

My apologies, I gave you the internal numbers.  CTs count against the external SIP, which has 77 spots plus 4 SEP positions.  Again the disclaimer, these are only target numbers generated last year.

There are 20 slots on the SIP for Internal Transfers, but that's a number projected from last year.  The 2011/2012 SIP will be released on or about 1 Apr and will provide numbers that are a bit firmer for this year, but 20 is a good ballpark figure.

Details?  I haven't heard anything yet, so now I am curious if they are rolling out for all programs or just NCM OTs...Thanks!

Congrats!  I'm glad to here that you got into the trade you wanted, best of luck in your new career path!

pudd13, that's about the best response I have read so far concerning this.  Seriously, don't dwell on it.  IIRC correctly from when I wrote the ANAV test in 1999 (and I've heard it hasn't changed) and when I attended CFASC last year, it won't hurt to look over the CAPSS study guide, but use your...

That's actually quite interesting to see.  The research paper I read from the DRDC regarding CAPSS showed a strong correlation between flight experience and performance at CFASC (that's not to say you need the experience to pass; I passed with minimal flying time).  Is it a fact that those with...

Really?  The CFASC put out their Aircrew Selection calendar for FY 2011/2012 last fall, and IIRC there were over 40 sessions for this year.  They don't just run the Aircrew Selection Center for a few weeks a year, they put applicants through year-round.

On what do you base this statement?  I would think it foolish for the CF to not consider whether or not an applicant has a civilian qualification pertinent to the occupation they are applying to; it shows that the applicant has relevant skills/experience and should therefore have a higher...

Wow, this thread is really making think twice about the things I had to say about "harshness on new members" yesterday... :facepalm: CDN Aviator...I applaud your patience.

denimboy, I completely agree with your statement, and i think you may have gotten your point across a little more eloquently than myself.  Thanks! CDN Aviator, I understand your (and many other people's) opinion/stance on this issue, and I do not disagree.  The only point I was trying to make...

Please elaborate; the OP has an opinion which has validity in many cases.  And as I said earlier, it is not the difference in opinion I have an issue with, it's the "I'm right because I have been here longer than you, and you're annoying me now so piss off" attitude that I have seen in response...

As I said, I may [answer], it depends on the question.  I understand how this forum works and that looking before asking is an excellent way of finding the information you are looking for, but I also understand that a new person may just ask a question because they are ignorant of the other...
