My counter offer is for you to go and do something intensely private with your hat badge.  >:D

Hi Daws, I used to work in recruiting.  Your scores on the CFAT, (the aptitude test), are broken into several categories, (math skills being one of them).  Each trade has certain cut offs in the different categories and for overall score.  The recruiter you spoke to was not giving you the run...

We were given the chance to have our french assessed towards the end of BMOQ.  Not sure how fluent you need to be; we had ~5 people try and one person got to skip SLT.

It is possible, but don't expect it to happen.  A number of years ago there was a group of pilots that bypassed SLT and went straight to PFT.  That happened because the word came down to spool up pilot training and there were no warm bodies to fill the slots; they fixed this problem by taking...

How about AFOD?

Beech, I joined in Dec 05, got wings in July 09.  One thing to bear in mind is that the powers that be tend to quote conservative wait times.  I finished French Nov 06 and was told to expect Moose Jaw early 09.  As I worked through OJT my Moose Jaw date kept getting pushed forward and I wound up...

Having a PPL won't hurt, but it's not going to be that much of a boost.

Agreeing to disagree sounds fair  :) 

Max, I agree that some of the very basic skills are transferable, but many are not.  Attitudes + movements transfer well, circuits, and nav do not.   

When I was working in recruiting (2 years ago) any degree was good for pilot (but a hard science degree was preferred).  That may have changed but I doubt it since it has been that way since at least 1988. As for the PPL not counting for much, there are a few things you need to understand. ...

The application form has room to select 3 MOCs.  If there is no third MOC selected there will be no automatic job offer if the applicant does not qualify for the first 2 choices.  That being said, when I was working at the recruiting centre, it was no big deal to change MOC choices on the fly...

Found this on another Forum and thought that it might be of interest to folks here. 

Hey King, that's what I was talking about.  One of my profs back at Fac Ed threw this problem at us and asked us to come up with an explanation suitable for a high school kid.  IIRC it had to do with the phase that was c+ having no energy and therefore no mass so faster than c was allowed.

Some wavelengths of x-ray have an index of refraction less than 1 in certain metals, so some forms of light do actually travel faster than c. 

Just the media trying to invent a story.

Well,  I kinda like Adam's idea (granted, I am biased in that I'd love to fly one of those babys).  The OV10 would make a better escort for the Chinooks than the Griffons we sent over. (A Griffon with Gattlings is still just a Griffon).  I'm sure you can slow an OV10 down enough for a Chinook to...

The way the economy is going the airlines just might need that influx.....to bad military (esp new military aircraft) spending is one of the first thing the government cuts when things get tight.

FWIW, there is a protest group on facebook: People to Call a general election, say no to the BQ in power! Joining may not seem like much, but it is better than just grumbling about it here on Army.ca (Just to be safe, I recall that there is a QR&O against signing a petition about policy in...

The failure rate on BMOQ really varies according to platoon.  When I was there we had 3 of 70 out right fail and get sent packing.  We had another 3 get sick/broken, and about 25 VR.  The other platoon had about 45 VR, BUT, their staff were really putting the ...rooster...to them.  (Rumour was...

Hiya;  I was working in recruiting until the start of this year.  LOG-O was OSL selection when I was there.  That means that it was selected at the CFRC by CFRC staff depending on openings.  Your best bet is to call your CFRC and ask when they are running their next OSL selection.  You can also...
