    Do they issue swimming trunks at basic or would I have to bring my own?

    lol, I think how you look in a tight bathing suit should be the least of your worries at basic. If you've done your job, and show up in shape, then you got nothing to worry about.

    I guess it's unlikely I'll be cuddling up with a hot woman?

    Airtime before students get on the Harvard?

    I'm sure his case was an exception....at least, it better be  :threat: I'm hoping that it won't take longer than 3.5 years (No SLT for me since I'm bilingual).

    Airtime before students get on the Harvard?

    I'm sorry for hijacking this thread but I also had a couple questions: 1. What percentage of accepted pilots (who have completed IAP/BOTC)   actually earn their wings? 2. With no prior flying experience, will you be limited in what you can ultimately fly? Is it recommended to get some flight...

    What does a DEO get paid during IAP/BOTC?

    I received a call from my recruiter and he said $3,077/month. I later realized this was the base pay for a second-Lieutenant on the old pay scale (April 2003). I called back the recruiting office and spoke with my selection officer about the new pay scale. He wasn't sure and had to confirm. He...

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    Hey Astrodog, To make a long story short, I finished school 2 years ago (worked in software industry since then), applied for pilot in the CF 7 months ago, and will be going to St.Jean Sept 12. I'm 24. To increase your chances of getting in, I'd say keep those grades up, get Microsoft Flight...

    1 minute late....sorry you'll have to reschedule!!!!

    Yeah, well I thought it was funny but you guys are right, as usual. Gotta suck it up and start being more responsible  :salute: From a civilian standpoint, I found this frustrating but I guess it's a good wake-up call for St.Jean! Caesar: C'etait au 800 Place Victoria. Les filles sont pas pire...

    1 minute late....sorry you'll have to reschedule!!!!

    HAHAHAHA.....this is funny. So I've already been offered a pilot position and I'm heading over to St.Jean Sept 12. Sounds good......hmmmm not quite. The recruiting office calls me last week to say that I have to redo my physical because my original one has now expired. Now, I took my physical...

    Google Earth...WOW!!!

    Just google Google Earth and download the program. You start by looking at the entire earth, then just search for a location like "cold lake, AB" and it zooms in to the exact location. Unreal!!! I can see CF-18's...even the one painted orange and black...

    Moving costs during OJT

    I'm scheduled for DEO IAP/BOTC Sept 12th and was wondering if the CF will pay for moving expenses during OJT? My main concern here is my car which still has about 3 years left on the lease. I live in Montreal so I'm going to drive to St.Jean but if I'm sent to Comox afterwards, for example, will...

    weight loss in BMQ

    I wouldn't worry too much about the loss in muscle mass. BMQ is only 3 months and if you've been training for years, you'll gain back your muscle quickly. It's all about muscle-memory!

    Sealfit

    Absolutely right. You should be in very good shape before trying this routine. My bad. I'll be the guinea pig. Running in the morning, eat, rest, hit the gym for the muscular training, go to work, eat, eat, eat.

    Sealfit

    In University, I trained for speed and strength cause I played intercollegiate soccer. Right now, I play less soccer so my goals have shifted to gain more size. Come BMQ time, I will have to re-evaluate my goals once again. It's going to suck because I know that muscular endurance is more...

    So who's jealous

    I know this is a bit off topic, but will Canada actually purchase the JSF? From what I understand, we've contributed $150 million to the development (a drop in the bucket supposedly) of the JSF, but, at the same time, we've allocated somewhere in the area of $1 billion to upgrade our own F-18's...
