Thanks for all of the positive feed-back. I'll email or call him tomorrow. I should probably bring up the whole CAPSS vs. CFAST thing. If this means getting the correct information maybe this works out for the best.

So this is really dumb and embarrassing but I had my interview for pilot yesterday and when we were done the interviewer gave me a small blue booklet with information I need to know by the time I reach Trenton, ON for Aircrew Selection. Unfortunately...today was garbage day and one of my...

Good to see a fellow M-WOD fan. I got into powerlifting in the last few months and was shocked to see how much a decade of running does to contribute to poor movement patterns, mobility, instability, etc. I can't even get close to squatting in the pistol position from piss poor ankle mobility...

I couldn't find anything one way or another about this subject (Most likely because the use of these things is fairly new to the general public). I was wondering if it's a problem to have/use mobility tools like foam rollers, lacrosse balls, bands, etc. i.e. tools used to keep the body working...

Thought I'd spell out my pilot application in case anyone was interested... I had my medical yesterday. I had one about a year ago so this was a really short meeting. They basically measured my height and weight and blood pressure and got me to sign a form saying nothing serious had developed...

No I chose it on my own. I've been considering pilot since I first applied but I figured I'd get an offer for Pilot much sooner than Infantry Officer which is what I'd rather do, so I've been holding out for a while. I added it now because the new fiscal year is coming up soon and if Inf Officer...

Totally agree. On one hand there's always going to be things that are just going to take a while to process and have vague start and end dates. ...On the other hand there's A LOT that could easily be fixed. Point in case I've had a lot of headache with my LRC because of lack of information and...

It's called personal experience...I was diagonized with ADHD a few years ago, was on the same drug and went through the exact same process. You don't think something like ADHD would affect someone's grades, work history, relationships, etc? That's literally the criteria for being diagnosed.

As long as you're off them and everything else is relatively competitive (Your grades, experience, education, etc etc are on par with other applicants) it shouldn't have any affect on your application.

Looks that way :)

Hard to say really. On one hand like you said it could only be a hiccup. If I were any sort of employer and saw that you picked yourself up by the bootstraps after this and improved it's pretty easy to forgive some lapses. On the other hand, job opportunities in all fields including the...

I'm just going off what my file manager told me (I probably shouldn't put to much into that) but also I know someone who got the call less then a week before his course. But in general I'm sure you're right.

I don't think this is true...as long as positions are open(Which they still are to my knowledge) and there are qualified applicants they can select people up until two days before a BMOQ start date.

They're talking about "battle school", not BM(O)Q

We're not supposed to talk about the recruitment process, so I'm going to try and be careful how I phrase things here.... I think the title of your post is a really valid point, not to be taken lightly..I thought I answered it as best as I could but the interviewer didn't seem too enthralled...

Some people get rushed through depending on a million different things but the medical for instance usually takes at least 4 weeks to get approved by Ottawa (I had a long conversation with the guy doing my medical about how asinine the medical process is). I suppose if you did your medical...

Negative  >:D

First, you haven't been waiting long enough to even have been merit listed yet. Secondly, I wouldn't hold your breathe, I've been merit listed since May 2013 and first applied Oct. 2012. It's dependent on too many variables to count so like they say "Hurry up and wait!".
