I took the day off to go to Wonderland. Many "red alerts" there also. Got a call to go into work right away - I work as an airside Escort. (go ahead with the jokes, I've heard'em all) I was sitting on Runway 24L at the end zone lights. You could see the skid marks. What got my attention was...

Thank you very much paracowboy. This info is great. Just a question, when I do cardio my heart rate is around 180. I trust most info on this site, but someone at work mentioned that anything above 140 is burning muscle and not flabb - how correct is this? My resting HR is 85 which doubled...

Personnel Awaiting Training

A quick search with "BMQ in Winter" results 3 or 4 threads with same title as yous. I know the Reg Force runs BMQ year round. Now if anyone's got info about winter dates, would be much appreciated. Thanks

Here's a few online aptitude tests from the Public Service Commission of Canada. By no means am i saying these are THE questions. I found these the night before my CFAT, so i didn't get a chance to do any of them, but by looking at these tests, i got an idea of what to expect as far as format so...

Just a question about "the numbers." Once the numbers come out in April, can they change (upwards) due to requirements or other reasons? ie:  MP  35 in April and now 42. Thanks.

Don' know if you have the answer for the sniper question, but here's a good thread that helped me with my Vision questions... http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/31590.0.html There is a link to to see what each military occupation requires for vision on the first post of that thread.

Thanks X-Rigger and others. Working in Hangars and home airports is great, but I personally hope to spend some time "under the canvas." That's if i get my first choice.

They have blinds at Starbucks  ???

You forgot Coffee Time. It's great if you need your stomach flushed!! Has Tim's Invaded St. Jean yet?

I have to agree with you guys. While waiting oing, going to work is very hard, especially for these 0430 shifts. I Caught myself becoming a little negative and impatient at work, and it wasn't good. I was starting to act like "I Don't Need This Job",  but that's not good at all - So i adjusted...

If you feel that you've improved in the PT dept. can you retest after you've been merit listed?

Well didn't make it to the 18th. Sept 5th is the next one. More waiting. On the better side all the debts and other problems are FINALLY taken care of. How long is Medical and Aircrew Medical valid for? And when are the Winter BMQ dates if anyone knows? Thanks

Did a couple searches and no luck.. How long is it generaly between BMQ and MOC training and what do you do in that time? Thanks

kincanucks, i know you don't have a "crystal ball" but from your personal experience can you please let me know if  my file doesn't make it for the 18 Jul board, do you think there will still be AVN openings for the next board, (Sept?) Thanks.

Listening to the stories on the site, i think i've been lucky. Application Date: May 4, 2005 First Contact: May 17, 2005 Aptitude completed : May 30, 2005 Med completed : June 3, 2005 Interview completed: June 14, 2005 PT Test completed: July 7, 2005 Now the ONLY thing keeping my file from...

PT Test completed: July 7, 2005 Now just waiting to clear-up a debt with a creditor and show that debt is being taken care of and then file can be sent to July 18th review board.

Do you have time / place to change at the centre, or should you be wearing them when you show up?

Thanks aesop081. I thought it sounded kind of weird.

Just a question for AVN Techs... I'm still in the application process, but just curious... Someone (not an AVN Tech) told me you have to provide your own tools, and if they need replacing, they will be replaced by the CF. Is this accurate? Thanks
