    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    I too went to Georgian College for Aviation Management (2002). After Georgian I went to U of T to do a BA in History. U of T gave me enough transfer credits to write off basically the first year and I finished the remaining 2 years worth in about 6 years working full-time doing other things...

    What can you fly with a Private Pilot License.

    Check out the subsidized flight training programs. They are highly competitive with high washout rates. http://piloteh.blogspot.ca/2008/02/seneca-college.html

    Pakistan developing TACTICAL nuclear weapons

    Perhaps ironically, Pakistan's best defense against Indian aggression would be a move towards secular, stable government that is more interested in creating strong economic linkages with India. The likelihood of that happening in my view is almost nil unfortunately. Thank you once again Cyril...

    Global Warming/Climate Change Super Thread

    So because there is a flaw in three data stations, the other 4,500 to 7,000 data points (depending on which dataset it used) are flawed? Unless this article is suggesting that The UK Met Office Hadley Centre and the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit, the NASA Goddard Institute...

    Voluntary Occupational Transfer ( VOT )

    I suspected as much and didn't fight it because at the end of day, a V2 is no impact to me as long as I know I'm not ACTUALLY a V2. :)

    Voluntary Occupational Transfer ( VOT )

    I don't know the answer to your question but I can relay a story that happened to me and perhaps it will help. During my last medical I was assessed as a V2 using the chart thing. I knew that was a mistake so I booked an appointment with the optometrist to make sure something hadn't changed. He...

    John Baird to resign as foreign affairs minister, sources say

    It could also be that he wants to get married and didn't feel comfortable/ was advised against do so as Cabinet Minister in this government.

    How strong should you be to be an Artillery Soldier?

    Don't worry about that. Just focus on being as physically fit as possible and the rest will fall into place. There are many different kinds of strength...

    Lt. Clint Lorance Could Be Any One of Us

    It's perhaps worth noting here the Calley only ended up serving three years house arrest. That being said, I completely agree with your points.

    Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP)-RMC 2000 - 2018 [Merged]

    You can't change marks that are in the past. Just do your best now and improve your application through volunteer, sports and leadership experience. Don't worry about things you can't change.

    "Unionizing" the CF (merged)

    Possibly although I have been involved in maybe 20 summary trials under half a dozen different Presiding Officers as both the Admin O and the Assisting Officer and that hasn't been my experience. What I have seen though is Presiding Officers recusing themselves because they have a history with...

    What's the likelihood of ground forces being deployed in Iraq to combat ISIS?

    Unless and until the US sends significant troops to Iraq to participate in direct conflict with ISIS, there is no way that Canada will go it alone and throw a BG out in the desert. I doubt that we even have the capacity to and I can't think of a single instance in which we have deployed...

    Commentary "Why No One Should Join the Canadian Forces"

    I'm not sure how much others feel this but it does worry me what will happen if I am ever seriously injured. I am not confident that I would be taken care of. There are grains of truth in this article to me.

    Duel credit (branch program) for college

    If you have a credit in dueling, I went to the wrong school. I went to College, did a three year diploma, then went to University and completed a BA an now I'm an officer. No one seems to care now, nor cared at the time, that I have a diploma. The only thing that matters is if you have degree...

    What math course would be better for Artillery?

    Either. Most artillery math maxes out at trig and that's really only used for survey which no one does anymore outside of training. Beyond that, it's simple BEDMAS. It's not as if you are shooting every round manually every time like some sort of physics lab experiment. It's mostly just applying...

    Defence Analyst Sunil Ram

    Not really by American standards. I did a MA through AMU, as have numerous other CAF members that I know, on an ILP and it was about $14,000 all in or about $1,100 per course. That is actually more expensive then a MAIS through Athabaska in Alberta. http://mais.athabascau.ca/fees/index.php All...
