Pay is better on the civvy side (110k$+), but with less posting options and variety in tasks. Definitely a good move on part of the CF, I had no clue what the job was before paying a visit to Trenton.

Vouch! :P Failed Pilot, and now I definitely want in for AEC.

Not much you can prepare for except maybe reviewing high school arithmetics.  It's multi-tasking and stuff. 3 hours of computer tests that test various innate skills.

We started off Monday with AEC testing.  We did not do any ACSO tests.  I've since changed my trade choices and will have to get the ACSO test done soon at my local CFRC.

More than a few changes:     Recruiting centre: Montreal     Regular/ Reserve: Reg.     Officer/NCM: Officer     Entry plan: ROTP (Kingston)     Trade choice 1: Pilot AEC     Trade choice 2: Infantry Officer ACSO     Trade choice 3: Armour Officer Inf. O     Application date: October 29th...

Your parents are real *******s if they don't approve of you being a nurse in the military. That's likely one of the most honorable things one can do with their life. Do what you want to do with your life; you don't need ANYONE'S approval (well, legally only once you hit 18) Good luck, live...

Beginning and end of fiscal year (once they get their quotas for the next one). March/April.

Hey guys, just got back from Trenton. Failed ASC for Pilot, but freaking ACED for AEC. After touring the control tower and actually getting to know what an AEC does, it's actually a pretty cool trade! Lots of diversity in posting options, different fields of specialization, and you get to see...

Just got back from ASC (Feb 4-8), and I have to agree with SF2, don't worry too much about it; just go and do exactly as the machine (CAPSS) tells you and try not to think too much. The stress is the only thing you need to deal with really. My experience didn't go so well. 4/13 passed. I...

Thanks again Gunshark, I'll do the absolute best I can to focus on the task at hand, emotionless. Solid advice right there. Got to keep my focus and stay cool!

Thanks Gunshark, your words bear more weight to me than anyone else here on the forum, as I know of your first-hand experience. I'll keep your words in mind when I leave on Sunday. Failing wouldn't be the end of the world too, heck I guess if I fail it's probably for the best. Not that I intend...

Thank you Hannibal, I can't allow myself to lose my focus because of stress. I'll check out some yoga too  :P

I'm just about to piss myself with anxiety over next weeks ASC. I mean, it's only the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT THING I will ever have done in my life.  Does anyone have good tips to help aleviate the stress? All input is much appreciated. :cdn:

Don't you know? Women look for men that are like their Daddy :P Edit: As a side-note, it's pretty easy to have a healthy life-style with all of the bursaries that schools offer. Check out with a councilor what you apply for. There are probably a lot more incentives than you know ;)

Glorious post  :salute: MPs inbound.

Going to ASC next week... So anxious!!  :P

Treat this as your mantra.  I work full time and have been training for 1-1.5h every morning before work and am definitely progressing. Training more than 10 hours per week would likely just damage your muscles and joints. Train less, keep your job, keep things interesting and, heck, put money...

Hey there! This is for everyone in the recruiting process in the Montreal greater area. We're going to have our own, awesome thread! If any of you want to share experiences with other anglophones in the area, write it here! I'd love to meet like-minded people, and I'm sure a lot of you are as...

Bonjour à tous, Je suis actuellement dans le processus de recrutement  :P Mais j'ai un abonnement à HorizonRoc (rue Dickson) qui fini au mois de Juillet. Génial! Non, pas tout à fait... Mon partenaire en escalade m'a laissé sécher depuis quelques mois déjà... Je me demandais s'il y avait des...

I agree that my post was of questionable taste. I couldn't fathom the idea of my point coming across as sexist and dumb, as well as derailing the topic entirely. I'm sorry about that. I'll be more mindful of what I post in the future.
