You could ask someone you know who is in the forces to look them up on dwan to see if a name comes up but I'm not sure I could even tell you if I did see them on the system.

I've been posted to YMJ starting at the end of February. I will be starting in the tower. Looking for some past or present ACOP's or ATC's who've worked both tower and term to give me their thoughts as to what they liked or not liked and the Pros and Cons of each. Also, if you have past...

Just to chirp in real quick about putting stuff is storage prior to going to Basic. If they pack it and put it in there for you, anything you accumulate between now and the time you get posted you will have to move on your own. Example. Went to basic in Feb and stuff was put into storage at...

You know, the first thing that came to my mind was in the Hobbit Movie, "What's in my pocket?"

I usually stayed at the Mess O Mega for cheap and walking distance back to my room. Good times!

No one can answer that question. Depends on where you are posted and every scenario is different. I've lost two relationships within a year since I've been in. You have to be able to accept the fact that the military is first on the priority list, your relationship and family are not.

You are not enlisted yet but you have a start date for March? When are you suppose to go sign the paperwork? You might end up driving a bus, or plowing an airfield most of the year in Moose Jaw, or doing shipments from base to base. You could even be doing airfield tours for the ramp courses...

Thanks a lot Eye!

For those who were following this post, I didn't get my first choice which was COMOX, but Moose Jaw. I've heard lot's of great things and I've heard it's a good unit as well. The weather however is not exactly exciting lol. Nor are the mosquitos. Thanks all for the answers to the questions...

Well, long time no post. I finished in Cornwall and I was posted to Moose Jaw! I look forward to it, but I've heard it's hella cold but the unit is one of the best in Canada and that they have a good group of people. Cornwall Was fun, challenging sometimes but as long as you work as a team...

I agree with you on this regarding costs of living such as heating and accomodations. However, an airport in the civie world that has very few planes going through it usually pays less for an ATC, however with the Forces you get the same pay no matter what work load you have. I'm currently on...

There is a topic specifically for this thread in application process' and examples. Speculating and telling people 1 year is not the answer and neither is saying that it only is 2 weeks. You don't know, so don't answer the question. Everyones situation is different, I've seen people get...

CFAT is good for 10 years.

GO GO COMOX!

You will have no problem, and no hills. Quebec is flat.

So much to learn, going to take some time until I find out what side is up or down. AESOP is on my long term radar.

Watching the snow birds and the f 18's fly today going around clearing in taking the sun in was just awesome. The next four months will be glorious.

Less time in the field and combined instead of going out 3 times, I believe it's only twice.
