THANK YOU! I was biting my tongue on that one.

Lucky you - sounds like fun. Definitely drop me a line. The wife is sick of "plane talk" as are all of my buddies. I can't wait to bake in the sun with my scanner and wait for the good stuff to arrive. Anyway, talk to you soon.

Bandit, if you are looking for some company when you are in Ottawa, drop me a PM. I always take a couple of days off before and after the show to hang out at YOW. I can show you the best spots to take some pictures. Although, most prefer my front porch: nothing like enjoying a cold one while...

Why don't you try that and let us know how it goes? Why don't you have these discussions with your Unit Recruiter? If you can't go, I can't see them leaving you on PAT for an entire year....

They might ask, "You turned down a previous offer. What makes this time different?" Good luck.

My mistake Canuck; I thought you were wondering why you hadn't heard anything. Congrats & good luck! According to my MCC, they have reached their intake for this fiscal. It's not that bad; I'm in the Reserves and I fly on the weekend so I get a bit of both worlds. Now, if I couldn't fly for...

canuck, Recently, I contacted my MCC to find out what the strategic intake plan for CEOTP Pilots looked like for 08-09 because I had been waiting a long time to receive an ASC date. From what I understand, they have really cut back on the amount of people they are accepting for Pilot: 21 total...

From what I understand, there were 21 total spots available for this year and they have been filled so I wouldn't worry about it. The CF will conduct their own vision tests through a recognized civie doctor to determine if you are eligible. If you really want to find out, apply (when you can)...

"I didn't know you were in the army reserves. That sounds like a great hobby. You get to play soldier, save money on taxes..." --civie budding in on a conversation with the CSM. Not today but a couple of days ago I overheard: Sgt, while trying to loosen up the FNGs on PAT: "Bloggins: how are...

Congrats and welcome to the CF. Don't worry - you will learn all about the ranks either on PAT or on course. Good luck!

That is excellent advice. To go one step further: what if it you don't get your wings? Would you be happy with the fact that you tried and gave it your best shot? Would you be happy releasing or in another trade in the CF? I might be assuming the worst case scenario, but you have to consider...

:rofl:

I just wanted to say good luck with your decision. I drove my wife nuts with a similar conversation several years ago. I kept asking her if she would be ok with me being away for extended periods of time and I worried that she would want a divorce. Eventually, she ended up saying, "If you don't...

Congrats. You had a step test? I thought it was the beep test now.

Unless you applied for ROTP and have all of the paperwork already completed; no. Even then, they may have filled all of their BMQ spots. You might want to get the ball rolling with the Recruiting Centre though and take care of the CFAT, medical, and interview. Security clearances can take a...

From what I understand, there are very few slots available. 5 slots for serving NCM's was being tossed around on the site. I might be able to find out from my File Manager. False. Good grief - CEOTP is designed for applicants who do not have a University degree. I had a college diploma and some...

1. Somewhat 2. Somewhat Both are "nice to have" in addition to the minimum requirements. A lot of points can be earned through your education, your interview, and your CFAT score. I would suggest focussing on those areas.

Pfffffff. :crybaby: Good grief. Can somebody please help this man!? What is wrong with our society!?!  ::) I was picturing a Lineman in the NFL who wasn't getting enough calories for his exercise routine. Then I googled him...
