    University Training Plan NCM (UTPNCM) 2005 - 2018 [Merged]

    I'm in the same boat for SCP. From DGMC: Important Dates: •Selection Board - January 2016 •Offers - April 2016 •Posting Message - TBD •COS Date - APS 2016 So it is likely the boards have sat, and favourable candidates have ASC offers.

    Training with a Different Trade

    It is possible to parade with another PRes unit during the school year and retain your trade. There is some admin haggling to do, but it is possible.

    AWS Full , questions betweeen AVS / AVN / ACS / AC Op

    I wouldn't call them "offices" - they may have some office space in them, but our operations facilities are far from offices. That being said, just because there aren't windows doesn't mean you can't have fun. I've done some of the coolest things in my career from inside a windowless operations...

    ROTP at Civilian University 2004 - 2018 [Merged]

    You're not automatically "quickly shown the door" just because you fail a semester in ROTP. Depending on circumstances, there are available options to redo the courses (at own expense), change degrees, change trades (and thus degrees usually), delay commissioning, or removal from subsidy with or...

    "Unionizing" the CF (merged)

    That's partially correct. In requesting a Review of Summary Trial Proceedings, the review is done by the next level of authority for discipline (e.g. if the trial was by a delegated officer, it goes to the CO). The outcome of a Review of Proceedings can be a substitute punishment, but a new...

    Improvised Antenna wires

    Heck, if you're crafty, a metal slinky will work for anything lower than UHF. US forces in Vietnam used them as improvised antennas.

    Dissaembly and transporting a pistol

    Movers will not take Restricted or Prohibited firearms, ammunition, reloading supplies, or gun cleaning equipment. Non-Restricted firearms can be taken by the moving company. I had no problems with them taking my firearms last time I moved, in fact I would recommend it for Non-Restricted...

    What's it like being posted in Saint-Hubert (Airforce)

    438 ETAH is the only RCAF unit at St-Hubert, and they only fly the Griffon. 438 ETAH belongs to 1 Wing.

    Aerospace Control Operator ( AC Op )

    To be honest, I don't have an exact answer as to why NAV Canada doesn't accept military quals. I could be wrong, but I don't think NAV Canada accepts any outside quals. The best guess I can give is that since they have responsibility for managing the majority of Canadian airspace, they are...

    Aerospace Control Operator ( AC Op )

    AC Op was undermanned (red trade) for many consecutive years. We just recently crawled out of it, thanks in part to record low attrition rates and high recruiting over the last few years. By the numbers, from the latest Projected Status Report, as of the end of FY 13/14, AC Op has a PML of 563...

    The C7 Assault Rifle, M16, & AR15 family (C7A1, C7A2, C7 replacment, and C7 vs M16)

    According to the product specs, it takes standard AR-15 uppers. Indeed there is no doubt it will be classified an AR-15 variant.

    Aerospace Control Officers-AEC [merged]

    CFSACO is currently hosted at a Nav Canada owned facility (Nav Centre, formerly Nav Canada Training Institute), but the instruction is 100% CF. Interestingly enough, there's very little Nav Canada ATC Training taking place at the facility these days. If you are unsuccessful in AEC training, you...

    Aerospace Control Officers-AEC [merged]

    DAA answered #1-4 quite well, but #5 doesn't really pertain to the CF at all. AEC nor AC Op have Nav Canada certificates. The CF issues its own licenses to control live aircraft, and they are not directly transferable to Nav Canada, or vice-versa. That said, the CF courses to obtain said...
