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

    It is impossible to tell. They never tell you how good you did. It is, however, very stressful. It is all self induced stress. You will only spend one or two hrs a day being tested. The rest of the time you spend thinking how you did, that's why it becomes stressful. You have nothing else to do...

    Question from a parent

    I am a reservist in Ottawa. There are several reserve units in Ottawa including one naval 'land ship'. I know my own reserve unit (30 RCA) has no problem showing prospective recruits around the unit on a training night and answering questions, I am sure they other units do the same as well. They...

    Merit boards for D.E.O.

    I was considering 'forgetting' to put that it but that is probably not the best idea. I think I just don't want to be arrogant and a know it all about it. I suppose that I might have a slightly easier time polishing boots. I just plan to play the game and hopefully have a good time doing it...

    If I had to guess, which is exactly what I am about to do, I would guess that how you answer it is more important than what the answer is; that is to say if you make up lames excuses about how it wasn't your fault it will look as if you are immature and perhaps not ready to be and officer. If...

    Merit boards for D.E.O.

    No no no no no no no no. I have no plans on being 'that reservist guy' I am going in with a completely clean slate and no misconceptions about my reserve history making me a better recruit. I am the exact same as everyone else. I just hope I can keep being a reserve a secret from the staff  :P

    X2 Like I previously stated, be prepared to be asked about it and you better have a good, well thought out answer. Marks are but only one of many things the CF looks at. You can not change your past so just try and apply, you have nothing to lose. In my personal opinion this is the course of...

    B average is pretty good in my opinion, I had a C- myself, although my opinion doesn't matter in this case. If you do get an interview, which I am sure you will, just be prepared to answer the question that will inevitably be asked about why you failed a course or two. Put a positive spin on it...

    Vitamins

    Bring them, you have nothing to lose. If they do take them away just try to eat an orange or have some orange juice every day. It should ultimately have the same effect. Cheers.

    northbiker: I have been offered pilot and I can tell you that my post secondary academic standing was certainly not high in any way. I barely passed. During the interview the officer asked me about this. I replied by saying that I had really high high school marks and I was in a tough program...
