That was an awesome post!  Good job and congratulations!  :salute:

There was a 41 year-old pilot-to-be that I went through IAP/BOTP with.  So don't sweat it.

Well, I had this book sitting on my shelf since I bought it early last year and finally got around to reading it.   Didn't take long, from start to finish.   The book caught my attention and upon initial inspection looked interesting, so I bought it.   I had never heard of it or the author prior...

Just a note about the above mentioned condensed OPMEs.  While DCE001 and DCE002 can easily be set-up over 5 days each--and, in fact, often are--the other 4 OPME will not be possible over 5 days each.  They require too much essay writing, etc.  DCE001 and DCE002 have no essays and no mid-terms...

So I was watching Joey last night and there were several scenes in which Matt LeBlanc's character was wearing a Canadian Airborne t-shirt.  The maroon ones with the maple leaf under a parachute, centering two wings.  Like the one on this page: http://www.commando.org/gallery/badges/abp

According to that CFAO the maximum award would be $15K.  Nope, you certainly won't get rich by saving the military millions. => $12,050 for the first $1million in savings.  A further .05% of any further savings.  => Total maximum of $15K.

Correct.  When I was going through the application process I was told not to take the PT test until I received an offer.  Once an offer came in, I booked the PT test within a couple of days.  In the event that I had failed the PT test, my recruiting officer told me I would have been able re-try...

Well, I'm at 4 Wing now and dress of the day is definitely CADPAT.  The aircrew run around in olive drab flight suits, and there a very few people wearing 3's.  Otherwise, combats it is! Thanks to everyone who answered.

Anyone able to tell me what the typical work dress at 4 Wing is?  Specifically for 1 AMS?

"Shattered dreams" over a 1-month wait....  ::)

Unless my memory is failing me, this sounds like a passage directly out of "This Man's Army" by Andrew Exum.  See here: http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/32691.0.html

FHG, Good on you for your work ethic.  However, and perhaps it's just me, but I'm really not sure what you are attempting to say with your post.  Having fatties in the forces is bad... good... acceptable...?  Having skinnie, out of shapers in the forces is bad... good... acceptable...?  All...

He used a ghostwriter, Sian Cansfield, who took her own life shortly before the book was finished.  It is generally assumed that the subject matter of the book and being so deeply involved with writing it for about a year was the primary influence.  If you care to know more just google it.

Sniping in France 1914-18 - With Notes on the Scientific Training of Scouts, Observers and Snipers by Major H. Hesketh-Prichard DSO, MC ISBN: 1874622477 Came across this book in the library at the MEGA the other day.  Thought it might have some interesting bits of information in it so I picked...

Nothing wrong with that if you are purple.  I know at least four persons in purple trades who chose Navy because of the uniform... and one other who wants to switch from Air to Navy for the same reason.

That is a fantastic reason to join!   ::)   I'm sure you started your enrollment process prior to this "PEng" idea popping into your head so you must have other reasons for wanting to enroll.   If not, well, you will likely find it much easier to attain that PEng designation in the civvy world.

Essentially so.  From the documentation I've read and conversations with 'old' CELE folks regarding the split, CAP was one of the reasons for the split.  The CELE (Air) people didn't want to waste time and resources completing Army-specific training that they would never use again. Also, there...

Yep, sure did!  Thought at the time it must be an earthquake, but was skepticle.  I was on the 2nd floor of the MEGA.  Went up to my room on the 11th floor and my roomie asked if I'd just felt the building shaking a bit.

You're probably looking for some sorta boost that a long answer might provide, but the short and simple response to your question is:  Of course!  A qualification is a qualification.

The videos should be on these two pages:    - For NCM video: http://www.cflrs.forces.gc.ca/english/recruits/video_e.asp    - For Off video   : http://www.cflrs.forces.gc.ca/english/officers/video_e.asp Of course, that doesn't necessarily help if the targets of the links aren't there.   But...
