Hence the reason why they can waive it if someone doesn't meet the test requirement. The Force test remains the one that goes on your MPRR and PER.

During ILP it was made very clear to us that the CAF has now 4 different environment; Army, Navy, RCAF and Cansofcom. Each with their own requirements, Cansofcom even have their own acquisition program.

We were briefed on ILP about this. My understanding is there will be major culture change that will need to happen. In a nutshell, they are looking at revamping the system to have a Reg Force without restrictions, Reg Force with restrictions, Res Force without restrictions and Res Force with...

SAR and Air to Air refuelling.

I'll post it tomorrow when I go back to work.

You're right I contacted my OR and right now they are compiling names of people affected by this. Rumors are they want this completed by March next year.

MH folks wants us to teach MVASP. That's why it on the QS. We teach all basic functions for PCT & MVASP, the gain will be that MOAT or OTU won't have to teach it anymore. They'll focus on the advance functions and tactics.

So I know I read the CA is going back to black boots?

It's the entire ASW portion for 12 students. That's the difference.

New BAQC is broken into 4 phases. Phase 1 is academics of about 4 weeks. Phase 2 is MVASP for about for 4 weeks also, phase 3 is PCT for 5 weeks with 8 actual assessed missions, and lastly phase 4 is the flying phase that has 4 flights plus the trainers. Each phases requires a checkride to pass...

MOAT and OTU is the QL5. As for the flying phase, I disagree with you. I've seen the big difference between classroom, trainers and flying. There a significant difference and in every courses I see students struggle with that. Even though the tasks are simple, they struggle completing it. We're...

Ok here is an update for everyone wrt the BAQC here in Winnipeg. The IAQC no longer exist, the new course will still be called BAQC (QL3), but will have a flying phase and new Procedural Crew Trainer phase as well. The new course is roughly 5 1/2 to 6 months long. If you pass, you'll get your...

The amount of burn out was getting high. If nothing was done there would be no more aircrew to fly them.

At a minimum, you will need AMT and BEW to be eligible for BAQC.

Hey it's alright, CDS said we don't need the money. So we'll be ok!

They'll most likely announce the Defence review just before the parliament's dismissal for summer break.

The new BAQC is QL3 only, however Wings will still be awarded upon completion and you will be posted to a Sqn. OFP is now post MOAT/OTU which means you won't get spec pay until you've completed it. Although rare, it is still possible to cross over MH. However I haven't yet seen someone going...

The next course is scheduled to start mid July timeframe. Then the one after that is Jan 2018. These are courses of 12 students and as mentioned by EITS, the BAQC is undergoing drastic changes. IAQC will no longer exist and is now under 1 course called BAQC. The length of the course will be...

OFP moved past UTO/MOAT is a good move IMO, it will reflect the true numbers of the trade. I can assure you 402 has good comms with 404. Even the ASO side, we now have an ex 404 member as our Acoustic SME. As for 406, we do have comms but it's true it is not enough. The reason is they have...

IMO the aircrew trade in general are the greener pasture. The AES Op trade really works hard to keep the unnecessary BS to a minimum, and wants our junior guys to focus on flying and operating the sensors. Usually the ones leaving the trade chose to go Officer.
