Congrats!! Good luck in St-Jean. It can be very fun if you show up with the good attitude. I graduated a month ago, so feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding BMOQ.

It's provided, but bring some of your own for the first Express Test, since it's likely you'll go to the QM a day or two after the test.

Which platoon are you talking about? Most ROTP platoons this summer were from CMR/RMC, and had few pilots. The platoons from Civi-U also had only a couple of pilots. Are you talking about a DEO platoon that started mid-August?

The real aptitude test is exactly the same as the practice one you just did, the only difference is that every question is written in Braille and you have to answer in Cantonese. Don't sweat it, there really isn't much to it. Seriously, do a little bit of research. Everything you asked on this...

No, as long as you can serve for 7 years post-wings before reaching the madatory retiring age (I think it's still 60, but oen would have to confirm), the age does not influence your application. In fact, as Melbatoast wrote, older people might actually have a better application, since it's...

Congrats! 2 out of 15 is pretty brutal! All of the guys who didn't fit into the Grob were rejected? 7 out of 7 got through ASC and DRDC when I was there... 5 of the 7 guys were selected for pilot through ROTP. (4 in RMC and 1 civiU). One of the guy wasn't fit for the Grob but he was told he...

The interview is a big part of your overall score. When someone has a lot of determination, it shows during an interview. So yeah, it should be worth something on the selection board.  ;) Good luck in Trenton.

If you know already what each basic instrument does and that your main instrument is the attitude indicator, then the study guide won't teach you anything. Keep your cool in the CAPSS, the maneuvers you'll have to execute are extremely simple, but the "airplane" is very unstable, so a quick...

There's a thrilling action movie there... I can see the huge potential of such a synopsis.

In 2011 we did the Express test, but it didn't count. Some girls did 0 push-up and they were not released.

About the 2 weeks orientation camp: jwtg said it all. To me he makes it sound harder than it really is, but it is still a very good description of what you can expect. The instructors of the french platoon alst year were so nice we sometimes wished they'd be a bit more intense so we could have...

That was also my understanding. Thanks

It's the "will normally" that makes it not that clear. It's not obvious that if Canada remains in the MoU without purchasing airframes he would not be allowed to bid on anything. I understood it like you did, yet I don't think we can say it is 100% clear. I don't think there is any penalty if...

I'm impressed by the quality of that National Post article. It's a very good summary of the AG report. The only thing I doubt is this: This is not what I understood from the MoU. I remember reading that contracts could be awarded only to partners purchasing the aircraft, but I have to admit...

Don't worry Hewitt, the call should come in the next 2-3 weeks for most of you. I did however received today me letter of TD for the May 14th BMOQ!

To improve their chances of getting to the target If you meant 0 deg Celsius, then twice that is about 273,3 degrees C If you meant 0 deg Fahrenheit, then twice that is about 459.7 degrees F Yes

I really don't see what the annotations brought to the debate. No new fact was brought up, no sources were cited and nothing that Hawn wrote was actually refuted... Looks like Palmer could only have written this: "Laurie Hawn is probably a bit too optimistic". It would have been just as...

2-3 weeks is actually the time your papers spend on the desk before they are moved to the proper file cabinet. Only then they can start their long journey through the administrative system.

Canada would have to leave the MoU to hold an open and transparent competition. So if the F-35 wins, we'll buy it for much more $ and get way less industrial benefits. So yeah... they will cry AND claim the competition was biased.

The 2 weeks recruit camp at the MEGA is fun. It's supposed to prepare you for BMOQ, but the instructors, at least for my platoon, were not as strict as I thought they'd be. I'm sure they are much more intense during BMOQ. The instructors are hilarious when they want to. You just have to play...
