Okay - I saw Stealth today.  I admit, I was interested by the previews (being an almost-qualified-air weapons controller), and I wanted to see how realistic the movie was. The verdict? Typical Hollywood.  The movie itself wasn't terrible for entertainment, but there was a lot of stuff that was...

Not yet Zoomie - not for awhile.  They have to run dual ops for awhile - to get people qualified on the new system above ground, while still running the one below ground.  The date is always being pushed back - as per usual! And yes - my topic seems to have been lost. Oh well - no replies from...

Garry - Congrats - that's really commendable.  Hope to see you in the mess.

drmann - Hows it going so far? 

..... Stealth? I want to see it, but I heard it got some crappy reviews.  I guess Jessica Biel isn't too convincing as a fighter pilot - but it does look cool... UAVs, etc.  I wonder how realistic it is.

Garry - are you in Cold Lake at 42?  Or are you on the "dark side" aka ATC? :)

I wasn't trying to be rude with him, I just didnt think it was necessary for him to be "scolding me" like the little Jr. O that I am. I was just trying to post a friendly thread to find another AWC to talk to - not trying to assert how great I am now that I finished Cornwall! :) What are you...

Christian - Im AEC and I have a Kinesiology degree! PM me, and I'll give you all the info you want. 

Shadow - I did my OJT at 42, and I may be coming back for the August TFC course - are you there now? Garry - thanks for "correcting me" that I'm not yet in the "real world" and that I'm an "Aerospace controller".   Ask any weaponeer and they call themselves an air weapons controller - just...

Hey, I'm THRILLED to be weapons - so much more exciting and interesting than air traffic control.  Way better posting options too. I don't think I could do ATC every day... too dull.

I was in the same position a year ago in St-Jean.  Although I did realize that as an un-qualified 2Lt, I hadn't done ANYTHING to really earn any type of respect,  but some of the NCMs there were downright disrespectful.  If I was walking down the hall and an NCM saw me coming, he'd turn his...

Dr - I know this post is old - but if you're still curious I'll tell you. The CFLRS website is crap - so is the kit list. PM me if you still havent gotten your answers.

Hey Shokuten - The only advice I can give you is that it's not that bad.  Yes, there are definitely times when it's REALLY crappy and you're very tired and tired of being yelled at, tired of doing pushups, tired of marching around the mega, tired of the same old crap.  But in retrospect, it's...

Does that mean that I can just start a thread to talk, and people will want to actually read it and reply to me???? :)

I know this post is super old, but I wanted to reply anyway. When I went through basic, all the pilots didn't have to stay for SLT - they went straight to somewhere.. Portage? Moose Jaw? I can't remember where.  But none stayed.  I guess they do their language training there. I was also sent...

Looking for qualified air weapons controllers.... I just finished the weapons course in Cornwall, and will be starting into the 'real world' soon.  Want to know what I should expect, etc.
