Have to agree with MDR, he and I were in similar positions.  You'll find the maturity and experience that you bring to the job will help you.  You may also find the physical training part of the job a bit challenging, but it is do-able provided you work at it.  On the down side you will be a...

Littlelizzard, if you are not 100% certain of your choice, do yourself a favour.  Dont' enroll.  I'm not trying to sound harsh, but the military is not like other jobs.  It takes up alot of your life and you have to 100% want to be there (and that goes for life well after basic training).  If...

Is there an Army base in Happy Valley, or just the air base?  I had heard talk of using Happy Valley as base for a northern sovereignty force.

Hey guys, lets just chill for second OK ;)  .  You both have valid points.  From what I have seen the CIC is a bit dichotomus (sorry if I spelled that wrong).  There are plenty of CIC officers that are in good shape, and I would hazard a guess that these form the majority.  I find most of the...

When I was working at the CFRC we had a number of CICs not meet the medical categories.  It wasn't a problem, we sent their files onto the Regional Cadet Support Unit and if they wanted the applicant they just waived the medical requirments.

As for the SLT, I did my OJT at CFRC Toronto (finished in Jan).  The direction that we recieved was that anglo pilots still did SLT.  That was part of all their enrolment messages.  That may have changed since I left, but given the current wait for Portage and MJ, I doubt it.

With regards to previous experience; it won't hurt to have some, but be prepared to learn some different ways of doing things.  I'm about 1/4 of the way through BFT right now.  I have an ATPL and ~2500hrs TT (in my civi life I taught MIFR,Instructor Ratings and Aeros).  What other guys have said...

Hi all.  Quick question regarding movement of DF&E.  Is the cost of moving a privately owned aircraft covered for a DND move?  The clerk and I have been looking through the CFAOs and found one on moving RVs but that is it.  Anyone here dealt with this sort of situation before?

Hi: With regards to the pilot trade the MSc will help your application a bit (part of your score is based on your academics and the higher your education the more points you get).  With regards to the BioSci officer the MSc will be an advantage.   BMOQs run at different times during the year. ...

It is ....interesting ..... that the RCMP are treating Hossain with such kid gloves.  If you were to replace 'soldiers' with any other identifiable group Hossain would already be in court. 

AVN & AVS are wide open right now.  If someone comes into the centre and applies for these trades we process them as fast as possible.  Combat Engineer is currently full (at lteast until the new fiscal year in April).  Other tech trades that are wide open are ATIS and LCIS as well as most of the...

No worries....as long as you intend to just pay the ticket and not fight it.

Hi all, Moving GTA to Moose Jaw in Feb (OJT is finally over! ;D )  Can anyone suggest a good moving company?  (Or steer me away from a bad one)  Thanks in advance!

Just to put in my $0.02.  You mentioned that you were thinking about which airframe would give you more options when you retired to civi life.  I can say with great confidence that helo is your best bet in that regard.  I worked as a fixed wing civi pilot for 7 years before I joined and it has...

CMR and RMC operate as two different campuses of the same school, so when you apply to ROTP you are applying to both.  The one you end up going to depends on the academic program you are in.  Given your situation I'd advise applying for ROTP undergrad.  That is the program where the military...

All of the a/c there are owned by a private collector (the same fellow that owns the airport).  There are about 4 104s (1 Turkish, 1 Belgian, 2 CF one of which was used at the tech school in Borden), there are 6-7 CF-5s in various states of decomposition (some look like they just came off the...

;D......well when you put it that way, things don't seem so bad after all

OK, I'm hearing many different things about BFT dates for '08.  When I was in YWG a few months ago Capt B mentioned that my ETA for MJ was June 08.  Just today I've heard that BFT dates in MJ have moved forward because some of the NATO students that were slated for MJ have been pulled out of the...

I'm posted to CFRC Toronto for my OJT.  I've asked around the unit and the ASU, but come up empty.  Anyone know what the chances are that I could arrange to do the course at Borden through, say, 400 sqn?

Hey Chou!  How did you manage to get the 9mm course?  (Lucky jerk! ;D )  I've asked about it around here a few times and got blank stares.
