    “Guide to PFT” or “What I did on my summer vacation”

    Sorry for the late response, Moose Jaw is a bit busy. (understatement). All you want to do is circuit work. Period. They will teach you everything, but having a few extra landing couldn't hut. If possible fly a low wing. Good luck

    Decent Pilot OJTs

    I did one. OJTs are partly what you make of them, and what your boss makes of them. My OJT was as useful as it could have been. I was away on course a lot during my stay at a CFRC Det-  yet I did manage to get a Military Career Councilor (MCC) course. I did interviews and council outs. I got...

    “Guide to PFT” or “What I did on my summer vacation”

    Primary Flight Training (PFT) in Southport Manitoba has recently undergone a change in all aspects of the syllabus. From new aircraft, new ground school, and new delivery methods, PFT is a challenging and rewarding introduction to flying in the Canadian Forces. Immediately, one notices the new...

    Decent Pilot OJTs

    I have been telling all the people I can about taking an opportunity to go to Yellowknife. For the folks that are in year three at Hogwarts, it is worth the consideration. It is a small unit, in a spectacular part of the country. It  definitely would be something to remember.

    Cormorant Down-July 13/ 2006

    There were three shots at the bar this afternoon. Sobering experience to see them there, and look around at your buddies knowing that our life has risks. My thoughts are with their families- and mine. "So others may live"

    That is correct- until 16 June. I am on OJT awaiting my flying courses. The CFRC office was much closer to my wife and family than was a flying squadron.

    Forces struggling to recruit...

    Okay, my det is very small- we don't have med staff or a PSP guy. So when we process, we fly in our staff and get people done all in one day. We only process every 4-5 weeks- depending on how many completed files we have. Some other offiices process every day- and they have med staff/and or...

    Not that I am aware of- that being said, we do screen people as soon as we are able to do so. - i.e.- completed file, med staff available, etc... It is in the recruiting centres interest to do things quickly, because we are subject to "target enrolments" each fiscal year. Now with Force...

    Forces struggling to recruit...

    I don't want to legitmize the "one year" date that gets tossed around here. The time is dependant on a number of things- time you apply, strength of application, need of the CF etc. After the end of the interview, candidates are told what is going to happen to their file and are told to keep...

    Forces struggling to recruit...

    Springroll, Having spent the last 5 months as a MCC in a recruiting det, I would like to address some of the issues in your last post. First, I would like to suggest that an applicant is not applying for a job, but rather making a career choice. Second, regardless of what one thinks, there...

    Special Evaluation Course PFT

    Pipstah, I don't know what you are alluding to... Slayer has several wonderful muffin/scone recipes that I am dying to try. His Pineapple Strudel is the best east of Moose Jaw.

    Responses to "Ruxted's Response To Mr. Martin Of The Globe And Mail"

    Somehow "Cottage Country Commute Getting Longer" is not as interesting as "The Soviets at least had the numbers. So, what's our plan?"

    New Name for the Grob G120A

    There are few criticisms of the new primary training aircraft Grob G120A. Glass cockpit, retractable gear, and fast enough to elicit a smile in even the most sour of IP faces. ;) One issue that it does have is its name. Canadian flight training has a long and celebrate tradition of excellence...

    Superhornets for the CF?

    Inch, Nice to see you back. I'm off to Portage next week. "if you can't hover...." Well, if we are shooting the bull, I would like to throw my hat behind the Typhoon. I've got atleast 150 hours already on that aircraft's sim (EF 2000).
