Hilarious post.

Kiss

Again I can only speak to my own, but mine went to Toronto first, and then to Ottawa for review and my factor at the same time. No back and forth. It did take about 2.5 weeks though for it to be returned.

OK

As far as I've been told it is the training issue. That is why they aren't hiring MARS or AEC anyway

The available officer trades are almost nil. Opening this year are Marine Systems Engineer (I don't have an engineering degree), Naval Combat (I don't want Navy), Armored and Infantry (Neither of which I think I would be very suited for) and that's all folks other than Pilot which I am required...

I can only speak from my own experience, but mine also went to Ottawa when I was going in for Pilot and they were the ones that sent it back to recruiting to tell me if I was medically fit for pilot. Recruiting also needed to physically receive my file back before they would tell me if I was ok...

It is an aerospace control officer.

By starting over I just mean that if I waited to go in as officer, say next, year I would have a higher rank than waiting to OT later and going back to a 2LT. But there is no guarentee that it will open. I just don't think I want to be an ncm for forever. I understand that if you excel at your...

I applied for AEC this year but it isn't opening for applicants that aren't already skilled. The recruiting centre is suggesting I go in as an AC OP and then consider remustering to AEC when the training is available. I was told by another RC that I would have to wait 5 years before I could OT...

I checked with two different recruiting centres and they confirmed that AEC is only opening for skilled applicants because they don't have the available training. I am not quoting this as fact, merely passing along the information.

Ahhh... well hopefully that won't be what happens but I guess I won't rule it out as a possibility. Thanks!

Why thank you very much for introducing me to the quote feature, when I start dedicating my life to being on forums I will be sure to use them! The funny thing about quotation marks is that they are actually meant to quote things! Funny how grammer works! I understood the NEXT post indicating...

I'm certain I did not 'mishear' given that I questioned them on it at the time.

"I didnt dock points for you being incorrect. I docked you because you posted, in a thread filled with people in panic mode, "information" that is quite frankly a) improbable, and b) likely to cause seizures in applicants. And the manner in which you posted it held it out as fact rather than as...

I love that I am getting 'docked' points for providing information provided to me by recruiting. Great job.

This information was provided to me by my local recruiting centre so before jumping all over me for my lack of time spent frequenting forums you can look within the CF for this lack of reliable information.

To give you an idea, last year they hired for 17000 positions, this year there are only 2000. They changed the process of application, it is much more competitive and they don't even process everyone's request, you have to meet a minimum requirement on a little check list before they even look...

Yeah, I would anticipate there being a mixture but not just going from working as an AEC doing AEC work for like 2 years and then just signing my name to things for my remaining career. lol. Thanks for the clarification! (I'm pretty sure they are just jealous that I will be their superior, lol)

Thanks everyone! Yes I have done a lot of research on it, but there didn't seem to be anything that even mildly indicated how long Phase lll would be so I definitely appreciate the information. I know it will be long distance for some time, I'm anticipating about 2 years of being away with all...
