Excellent, thanks for the info, it was exactly what I was looking for, and a little more :) cheers!

I apologize, I should have put more detail into the post. I will be going in DEO LOG, my French is not great, I understand alot more than I can speak or read, and it has to be slow, lol.  Got to love being an anglophone growing up in an English community in Quebec! By going through most of the...

Hi, I have been granted a slot in the August 31st BMOQ, and I was wondering if and when the SLT Course start dates were, if anyone knows at this point, just to give me an idea of if it will be right away or if I have some time off inbetween on OJT. Thanks for any help you can give! Cheers!

Hey, where were you able to get the copy of the Army Fitness Manual?  I have been offered a LOG position for the August BMOQ, I was trying to get AEC but I am still waiting for my vision to be re-evaluated. Also for the AEC courses, from what I have been told, and from what I have read in other...

Well to keep it brief, I taught overseas for a couple of years, and travelled to alot, and to alot of communist controlled countries ie. Viet Nam, China, etc..., so my PreSec took forever, then my son was born, and a small issue with a banned substance lol (which was resolved lol).  Then there...

Grats Logairoff! Been awhile since I was on last, but I am in the same boat as you, I was merit listed in Jan as well for the May loading, for LOG, as I was still waiting for my eyes (LASIK) for aircrew, takes 6 months, as a backup.  But just got off the phone today with my file manager...

Congrats!  Yes, you are definitely one of the lucky ones!  My fingers are now crossed for myself, as that shows there is a bit of hope for the May loading. Cheers!

My now wife and I lived in South Korea for 18 months, and then backpacked through South East Asia for 3 months.  I visited alot of the 'questionable' countries, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Laos, China, Sri Lanka...so I am sure the people who were doing my Pre-Sec weren't all that impressed, lol!

Just from a previous experience, my father, who was an AVS Tech was told that he was going to be posted to Cold Lake in 1985 to work on then the new CF-18's.  Last minute while we were packing, things changed and his carreer manager changed his posting.  Thus instead of Cold Lake we were posted...

Excellent, thank you for the information!  At least now I understand the reasoning behind the answers I have been given. I have been expecting to wait now until August BMOQ anyway, so no big loss.  Though, I am still going to contact the PA on Monday and discuss this further.  Hmmm...I wonder...

I confirmed the aircrew factor for AEC is A4. However, when I contacted my CFRC this morning, and inquired into the aircrew factor.  Basically I was told what I had already knew, in concerns to the medical testing for aircrew status (blood, urine, ecg, vision test), which I have already done in...

CDN Aviator, thank you!!  I am contacting my CFRC in the morning to inquire into this. Cheers!!

Has the Aircrew factor changed for AEC? I have passed all my medical testing (blood, urine, ECG), and had laser eye surgery done (as I have V4), and had my optometrist sign off on my vision (i now have 20/20).  I submitted the document into my CFRC, and was then told a month or so later (3...

Personally I think I would prefer AEC over LOG anyway, and I believe my chances of getting a LOG spot in May is fairly slim at best - not that I don't have a competitive app... lol.  However, both appeal to me in different aspects, though the thought of doing survival training in relation to my...

Hi, I am in South Western Ontario, out of the Kitchener CFRC, I am currently entering in as DEO and am Merit Listed for Logistics.  I do know that the new intake numbers are going to be released with the new FY, however I am wondering if anyone knows how many spots are currently open for LOG (as...

Well, I just got off the phone with my CFRC (Kitchener), and I was told not to lose hope, that there is alot of time between now and April/May, people get cold feet, and back out.  Also that it wasn't full, but very limited. Another month to go untill I find out whether I will be going into...

The process is exactly the same for everyone, however, everyone's situation is different, and the smallest thing can cause the recruting process to grind to a crawl, ie. medical, clearance issues, etc..

I hope it moves faster for you than it has for me, I am now in  year 4 and have finally been merit listed... living outside of the country for 2 years didn't help, and then one set back after another... so I really do feel for you.  Good luck!

Oh I am quite used to the addage "Hurry up and wait!", my application process has taken a good solid 4 years and counting now...so if you get to this point, let me know how it feels. I have not come this far to give up, if I have to wait until August then that is fine, that just means I will be...
