The doctor talked to me about this when I was at DRDC in February and said that it should be in operation in a few months.  He said that it will be some sort of booth that takes all of the measurements automatically with lasers so that there is no sytematic error.  Most of the error right now is...

I thought it was January and September BOTC's for DEO plans. I guess I'll find out soon enough but I was planning on doing some travelling before I forfeit my freedom.

Yeah I think there is some merit to this end of fiscal year enrollment "phenomenom". I am happy to report that I got a Pilot job offer today when I expected to be waiting for the april !5th selection board.  I am a DEO applicant and did my ASC first week of February.  I'm happier than a pig in...

I am personally oppose to going back to the old "Royal" titles.  While I'm immensely proud of our history when we had these titles I believe that Canada is now in a position where our military should not be associated with the British.  Also just because the majority of the Forces' members speak...

I don't know the odds but probably not in your best interest to know at this stage. You still need to complete several steps before the file goes to selection board; physical test, medical exam, eye exam, interview, urine and blood test, Aircrew selection test, Air navigator tests, aircrew...

That's funny because I was diagnosed with MVP as well during the medical and was told that it wouldn't be a problem.  Just to find out more on the subject I researched this subject on the Defense Research and Development webpage and found publications that showed MVP to be the single most...

  I had kind of the same scenario at aircrew medical earlier this month, the anthropometric measurements said that I was borderline pass for a couple of the trainers, ie; jet-ranger, hawk.  The doctor told me that about half of the people that get to aircrew medical don't "fit" into at least...

I've found some info on this subject if anyone is curious, it is on the Defence Research and Development Canada website and then search in the publications section.  There is a wealth of info on a wide range of topics. Very interesting stuff eventhough they are formal scientific papers.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to find the Anthropometric guidelines for the different aircraft. Specifcally for the Jet Ranger and British Hawk for sitting height, thigh length, leg length etc. Unfortunately the flight surgeon's guidelines website doesn't have this specific of information. 

I'm just wondering if different broken bones affect your eligibilty more than others because when I applied I wasn't informed of any problems with my medical history.  I had broken arm(3 times), collarbone and heel.  Is it because certain things can affect your mobility, ie; ankle.  Or does...

I've spoken with my file manager at the recruiting centre and he believes that my file is still going to the selection board.  He said that my appliation has passed through an initial board and that it was merit listed. Does this mean that I'm out of luck since there are simply no spots...

Thanks for the information Kincanucks although it is disappointing since I've been led to believe my application was under review by the board. Good to know what's actually going on.

Thanks friend much appreciated

Thanks, I see that the DEO boards sit once in may and once in oct/nov. I notice that there's no number for EMEs in a previous post outlining the jobs that are available to recruits. http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/29132.0.html Are these numbers out of date now and what are the odds of...

Hi Guys, I was just wondering if anyone knows when the seletion board for Electrical and Mechanical Engineer applicants take place.  I've been told by the recruiting centre that my application has been forwarded to the selection board but that I won't hear anything untill November or December...

Good question.  Let me go get some more "life experience" and I'll get back to ya!

whoa,   It's different in the military but in civvy world especially nowadays if the job doens't require Peng, chances are you're not an engineer. Now that i look back at what i wrote i suppose it could be interpreted as being arrogant/ignorant.  Sorry to offend anyone.  I shouldn't have said...

I just meant that if the engineering job doesn't require you to be a profesionnal engineer it probably isn't a true engineering job.  Anyways, for those of us that are thinking about joining the military without much military experience have to find out as much info as possible and see if we'll...

Thanks for the input guys. I was just wondering because I am being considered for the EME position and my degree is in physics.  My view is that it wouldn't be worth it if I didn't come out being a professional engineer.

I was just wondering if the six different engineering positions in the various elements are profesionally licensed engineers. The reason i'm asking is because i'm being considered for an engineering position but am not a licensed engineer.  If you enter as a DEO do they further educate/train...
