First time will be the charm for me!  I got three "First Choices": Pilot, AEC and ACSO. Given how much I love my current job, I'll jump in happily whatever they offer! Lol! ... nervously/impatiently waiting since Monday... 'Greg.

PRK isn't really 'painful'. After the laser-bit, they toss in a blank contact-lens so your blinking isn't rubbing over freshly-blasted cornea. Procedure itself is absolutely painless, but when freezing drops wear off, just feels like you've got a grain of sand or eyelash in your eye. Not...

NOW do you believe us (and all the others who posted similar advice prior to this specific thread) when you were told that "... there's nothing specific you can really study for" ??  Lol! Well done! Glad you had fun.  And now you wait...

32 had BETTER not be too old!!  lol Posts by miraclark, Guelph and others are very encouraging. I just turned 39 in April, applying for DEO Pilot... passed all so far, passed Aircrew Selection in Trenton last month, awaiting Selection Board on June 24th and hopefully job-offer soon after...

See??  That's why I hang out here... Learn something new everyday.  Thanks for the update 26point2!  Guess there's finally enough LASIK data now to prove that their eyeballs won't explode when exposed to a sudden increase in differential pressure. How fortunate, huh?

Lol!  Nice, Mr. Wallace...  He has a point, tho...  As one of those laser-victims myself, and having a physiology degree, I know a li'l about this.  PRK Laser surgery uses a CO2 laser beam to blast off bits of the cornea, reshaping that optical focussing surface to, in effect, make that...

I was in Trenton week before Lockhart and was told same thing... CAPSS will soon be replaced solely by desktop PC-based tests... Without any specifics, (careful N! Lol) believe I was told the testing would consist of 5 of those 'tests' that we did as part of AEC testing, plus 8 others... So in...

Yah, just did that one during my week for Aircrew Selection. They put all 14 of us Pilot applicants thru the AEC testing as well. Not much anyone here can tell you. As you can imagine, we are asked NOT to divulge anything.  I can honestly tell you that digging for specifics about the testing...

I got nuthin on the BMOQ dates, but I was also given the 24 June date for Pilot Selection Board by my file manager. Was advised that NORMALLY, job offers start going out 7-10 days after that, via telephone.  Apparently they wanna talk to you to get your verbal acceptance or not on the spot? ...

Think others would agree that we are bound not to say any more than myself and others have already. It will be challenging, that's the point.  I'm sorry, I actually don't know the pass rate for AEC in my group. As stated, some passed both, most passed one or the other. I know of one guy who...

Well, Trenton was fun!  My whole group did both Pilot and AEC testing. Passed both. In fact was told I scored REALLY high. Good times. Now, as has been the case numerous occasions before, we WAIT!  Told there's a Pilot Selection Board in June, so hoping for a job offer shortly after that.

Just did both Pilot and AEC in Trenton in one fun-filled week. Passed both, good times!  As stated, no specifics, just show up well rested and be sharp!  Never hurts to "dress for success" as confidence and feeling well-prepared are always good. Nothing specific you can study for. They're...

Got that phone-call!  Anyone else heading out there May 6-10? 'G.

I did CFVRC in mid-Oct, mailed all hard-copies about 10 days later. Took about 3 or 4 weeks before I got an email reply that file was being txfr'd to Vancouver office... then got a phone call from Vancouver people just couple days later, to confirm they had everything, appeared complete, and was...

I've been given the green-light to head to CFASC... told it's in Trenton's hands now for scheduling. No idea how much notice I'll get. 'G.

Thanks for input guys, but so far nobody's shed the LEAST bit of light on my original question... Yes, yes the Islanders voted. yay!  Big surprise...  Back in the day, "the Empire" spent vast sums setting up Forts and Colonies in strategically important places, vital to shipping routes, to...

Well...  update time. A little further along in the process...  Had CFAT, Interview, and medical early Feb. Got sent off with papers for a further physical from my doc (standard practice for Aircrew applicants?) and Optometry exam. Doc good, Opto good. Can't explain. Eyes don't generally get...

LOL!  Ya, the Argentinians don't appear to be QUITE as much of a threat today...  in a direct military way I mean. Can still be quite effective with the financial blockade thing, or just making life darn difficult for the residents and supporting Brits. Sad thing is, according to this great...

Thanks fellas!  However, question now officially answered!  Got a phone call this morning, telling me they'll be here next week!  Got my CFAT, Interview, Medical and some 'personality test' (I'm screwed! lol) all being done next Friday. Wish me luck! 'Greg.

Hi all...  I've applied to CF as DEO Pilot (yes, couple back-up trades listed, but we're going for gold here!). Application all sent in to Virtual center, told it's been txfr'd to Vancouver recruiting center, and been contacted by a Recruiter there to confirm this. I'm up north, nowhere near...
