For Christian chaplains, the requirement is a Master of Divinity degree and I think a year or so of service in a civilian church. I know a few chaplains in the forces, and my dad is a pastor in a civilian church. An MDiv is similar to any Master's degree... you need an undergrad or enough...

Wow, 75 people being tested at the same time... that must have taken forever to get them all through the sims!

With the people I did ACS with, I found it true that if you pass the ANav test and the pilot sim, there's more chance of being offered ANav. One girl passed for pilot and failed the ANav exam, and had no trouble getting an offer for pilot after ACS. The other three applicants who passed ACS...

Even though there are pilot and anav slots open, it seems you need to get a lot of recruiting points to get an offer. The points to be a DEO pilot last year were way up more than usual, as is the case this year. For some reason, anav is way up there as well. I was speaking to my career...

Cool stuff Bandit1. If your birds are ever in Toronto again, swing by my place. I have a whole flock of fat pigeons sitting outside my window just ready to be eaten by some Red Tails!

Hey nizfiz, I have a friend who's in RMC right now, and he knows people who've changed their MOC's during first and second year of RMC. Remember to speak with a career councellor at your CFRC... maybe accepting MARS and then switching to ARMD in RMC might be an option?

I know having flight hours before training doesn't mean much. Even I had only a couple hours when I went to ACS, and passed when a guy with a commercial lisence failed. What I am saying is that you do get points in the recruiting process for having trade-related experience (hence for pilot...

Try to get into aviation college, or get a university degree and build up your flight hours. With the recent amount of applicants for pilot, it seems that the determining factor is hours you log in an A/C.   

Don't go MARS if you're not into it. Face it... how can you work as a Navy officer until you're thirty, when you were set on being in the Army in the first place? I've also been tempted by my CFRC to accept my 3rd choice. I declined, but even now I don't regret waiting until my CFRC can offer...

Nice. This is the best illScarlett song to date, and having it attributed to the CF (illScarlet being a Canadian band) makes it even sweeter.

You might want to have a peek at the book called “The Myth of Ability” by John Mighton. House of Anasi Press Inc, 2003. It’s short… only 208 pages. I picked it up out of the blue at Chapters, and I would really recommend it to anyone about to write the ANav test who doesn’t feel very confident...

What I understood from my CFRC is that having a university degree puts you a few points (I have no clue how many) ahead of people applying though CEOTP. I think a DEO's GPA is also concidered in the factor, and higher GPA's can get more points. When things get competetive, a few points more than...

ACS is weird because it's not quite like flying a sim and it's not quite like flying a real plane. It's just ACS, and you have to go through it to be concidered as a pilot. The best advice is always to relax and listen to what the instructors say. A few hours on a real plane might prepare you...

Steel Horse, you're making a dumb argument with experienced people.  ;) Chill out dude. Enjoy the show and this site.

After the common pilot training Phase II in Moose Jaw, pilots selected to train on jets complete Phase IIB and Phase III unlike other pilots who are streamed into helo or muti. Mike's already been doing a lot of training getting ready for jets, so making him go helo or multi at this point isn't...

Capt. Lewis is an excellent pilot on the show... I'm sure he'll show up a few times in future episodes (at least at graduation or to sweep more popcorn :P ). Shamus I'm not too sure of, but his hot-shot antics adds a lot to the show. Gotta love the "dude, wait... what?" look he always gives...

Hey Teej, Don't worry so much, especially if you haven't done ACS. On top of facing the 66% failure rate at ACS, not everyone who passes gets an offer for pilot. Out of the four who passed at my ACS, 2 got pilot, and 2 got their second choice. Being a DEO puts you at a slight advantage over...

Hey Roberttt, I totally know how that feels, man. I just declined an offer for amroured officer to keep going for pilot. An MCC warned me that I was a few points shy of being competitive for the pilot MOC and that I should just join now and transfer out of the army later. I agree that it would...

Anyone out there have any information on when the next few officer selection boards (DEO) are being held? Thanks, Elwood.
