    Colour Vision Standards & Policing

    I've always dreamed about being a cop.  Since way back when Mom used to tell me "You can do anything you set your heart to". That said, it would appear that was a wonderful lie. Welcome to life.  I am a "CV3" in CF-Med-Speak.  Colour Vision Unsafe.  I see colours, just not as many as most...

    2PPCLI Website

    I would: 1) Clear up the initial image on the front page... its "fuzzy". 2) Remove pretty much all of the underlining on the main text portion of the index page.  If you absolutely MUST link here, change the colour of the words to an unobtrusive blue or something else, but turn the underline...

    Weapon allowed on plane

    Problem is, it isn't CATSA.  CATSA is just the administrative body that writes up the rules.  An old elementary school buddy's dad was Exec Director or DG or whatever the head position is over there... lots of politics IIRC. In any event, its lowest-bidder contracting.  GARDA here in Montreal.

    Weapon allowed on plane

    The weird thing is that, while passing through the US recently, they really harped on making sure you took out liquids from your carry-on while in the lineup, but if you didn't do it (I was with colleagues who decided to be dumb),  they didn't raise any fuss at all.    I suppose if the sensors...

    Any chance to become a pilot now?

    From my experience around here on the boards, people generally look for either of two things, preferably both, before they take what you say as having any worth: 1 - Straight-up "in-lane" experience 2 - Research with references cited.  (That means if you are going to quote Transport Canada from...

    Spelled laser , as it is an acronym. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.  ;)  Useless information of the day... Congrats on the success of the correction, and best of luck with your new career choice!

    Any chance to become a pilot now?

    If you want an official answer, the only way to get it is from the CFRC. Do note that recruiting can't tell you about eyesight, and that you'll have to speak to a PA from the Medical Section about that. On the education standpoint, my best advice to you is to get accepted into a University...

    Any chance to become a pilot now?

    Can someone confirm whether or not corrected vision was not just allowed for all non-pilot aircrew? So if he corrects his vision, wouldn't he be ok for Airnav or FE?

    Any chance to become a pilot now?

    You could also look into AirNav, Flight Engineer roles, etc if you want to be up the skies....

    Any chance to become a pilot now?

    My own advice is to slow down. First:  Do you just want to be a pilot?  Or do you want to be an Airforce Pilot? Huge difference. Think about it. Seriously.  Write out the differences, and do plus/minus for each difference.  Then walk away.  Then think about it some more.  Which do you really...

    Any chance to become a pilot now?

    Well, you could just apply and see. CEOTP is competitive alone, and Pilot is even more competitive... Just search PILOT here and read some recent threads as Ex-Dragoon has suggested. Your academics need to be high, and its easier if you are already accepted/completing a degree and have solid...

    Any chance to become a pilot now?

    Pilot is open currently for CEOTP. Research it, and the pilot trade generally on this board, and you will see tons of answers for you.

    CEOTP (Continuing Ed Officer Trg Plan) 2003-2018 [Merged]

    FYI, CEOTP is now closed for all Combat Arms. Lucky me, I got to find out at my interview (for Combat Arms trades) today.  I suppose this is a good thing for the CF; I just would have preferred to have been told about it earlier, or that they keep my file open until a spot opens... having to...

    Boxing troops?

    Always type the most key word FIRST in a google search. Thus I typed MP3  first, since boxing brings up way to many other posts.    MP3 boxing timer rounds  I think was my search :) Anyway enjoy.

    CEOTP (Continuing Ed Officer Trg Plan) 2003-2018 [Merged]

    As an aside, if you are looking for a sold distance education school with a reputable name... the University of London offers full degree programs online; with exams once a year.  You get the same degree as anyone else who attends at the school.  Costs are comparable.. seems to be cheaper for...

    Weapon allowed on plane

    Sorry, I guess the 400B is the baggage screening. I went through the Sentinel II in Indy. http://www.smiths-aerospace.com/News/Archive/2003/Smiths-earns-major-contracts-for-additional-airport-screenin/index.asp

    Weapon allowed on plane

    These things are showing up in more airports I see...  Not sure how sensitive they are, but they appear to be setup to detect even minute traces of explosives. SMITHS IONSCAN Went through one in IND...
