    Airframe selection after BFT

    It's funny 'cos it's true! :nod: That wasn't attitude, it was clarification.  OP said he wanted to hear from people who had been through the program.  Now he has.  They just told him the same stuff that the search function would have yielded.

    Airframe selection after BFT

    If you want wings, (like I've got), you'd better adjust that attitude.  The answer, is, and always has been, you'll go where the service can use you based on your abilities and the needs of the service.  That situation is so fluid that there is no point speculating on it until you're just about...

    methadone

    Recruiters have some leeway to excuse past mistakes.  How much leeway depends on what drugs you used, how long you used them, how frequently you used them and how long ago you quit.  Like Loachman said, see a recruiter; they are the only ones who can give you an answer.  The other factor that...

    ACSO to Pilot Transfer??

    That's a bit of a tricky question Eastcoast.  You will have to meet minimum requirements (OPME, AFOD, etc) for promotion in either field.  A lot of pilots actively avoid getting promoted because promotion means less flying time.  This means that the field is a bit more open for those pilots who...

    Curious- VRed Twice- Will They Give Me a Third Chance?

    When I was in recruiting an education waiver was granted if someones academics weren't quite up to snuff, (i.e. didn't have grade ten math), but there were compelling reasons to enroll them.  At that time you could not get a waiver for a CFAT score.  This was 6 years ago and may have changed. ...

    Pilot shortage?

    Nah!  It's more for morale puposes.  Whenever the pilot is having a really sh!tty day he can look at the ACSO and think, "At least I'm not him."  ;D

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

    Running on the assumption that they haven't changed the sims since I was there (2000), the instrumentation is closest to that of a generic light aircraft, like a Cessna.

    British soldiers resort to 'baiting' Taliban to beat rules of engagement

    From The Indpendent, shared under Fair Dealing Provisions of the Copy Right Act. British soldiers in Afghanistan are being forced to act as bait in an attempt to draw the Taliban into opening fire, a serving platoon commander has alleged. Remainder at link...

    Odd Question

    Your old scores may or may not come into play.  If your previous application predates the latest computer system, CFRIMS, the CFRC most likely won't have them on file.

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

    I believe the Seneca partnership was brought into being as a way for CEOTP pilots to earn a degree and fullfill their terms of service.  At least that is how I read the CANAIRGEN.  The idea was that Seneca would grant degree credit for RCAF flight and officer training, (the officer training...

    Japanese man, cooks his own genitals and serves them up to paying guests

    Abortion Issues - Mega Thread [MERGED]

    Techno's argument is well put.  Every person has the right to control their own body.  The conflict arises when what you want to do with your body affects somebody else.  The real question is when does a fetus become a person?  Once the fetus is a person it is no longer just a part of a woman's...
