As far as I can tell from my application, it is basically the interviewer that decides if you are suitable for going to the ASC.  Other than that, you have to just pass the medical prelims and I think you get an appointment for the centre and they cover the costs.

Funny thing, I did actually pick up the pedals and yoke on ebay this past weekend, I think they were around 260 canadian total with shipping as long as customs don't have their way with my 'gift'.  I'm just hoping that they arrive before the selection centre.  If not, then I'll at least have a...

Thanks for the input, I kind of figured that I wouldn't be able to get much more info because of the whole confidentiality thing.  I'm really looking forward to going up and seeing what it is all about. Just hope I don't have to do it twice  ;D

I am heading to the Aircrew Selection Centre at the end of November or early December, and I have quick preparation question.  From reading up on this site, it seems that the main part (or possibly all) of the CAPSS process deals with instrument training.  From what I found on another site, it...

I am booked for a flu shot at work on Nov 15th, and I may be heading to the ASC on Nov 20th.  Does anyone know if having a flu shot that close to the date will cause any problems during the medical portion of the selection process (assuming I make it that far)? Thanks

I don't know about that Hernia thing... I didn't have to drop trou, but for some reason, when my brother did the medical a week later (2 weeks ago), he had to get the ol' hernia test even though it says on the medical sheets that it doesn't need to be done.

Yeah, whatever you say to knock the game, it is still a fun way to waste time at work.  Just set up your desktop icons to make a strategic course and fly through it.  The sar techs are amazing as you can drop them off at a high altitude and pick them up as they are falling.  Most intriguing...

Iron Eagle IV and Alexander..... Wait a sec, nope.  I've always liked Braveheart, not quite modern but good.  The other ones I like are Enemy at the Gates, Blackhawk Down, and a few really original choices (BOB, Full Metal Jacket, Platoon).  Also looking forward to Jarhead.

I'm not too tuned into the political situation, so I was wondering if this is anything new.  It seems like a really gutsy move to me and I'm wondering if the message is skewed a little (like they really meant that they need to destroy their policies, not actually a message saying they need to...

Rise Against - Give it All

Pretty good show, but I think they use a few too many catch phrases (from at least the few episodes I've seen) for example "It's Killing Time!".  And I was deeply saddened when Zack Morris had his head severed.

Yeah, I suppose they aren't really airsoft ones, the only similarity is that they take the same sort of bbs.  One of the pistols only lasted about 100 or so shots and from what I can see of the real airsoft ones, they seem to be actually built well.  My 'assult rifles' were actually called...

All I know about airsoft is that I got two cheap pistols on ebay for $20 and they are good for when you're bored and want to have an in-apartment gunfight with your girlfriend.  I then got really serious and dropped another $20 for two AK-366 ones (I'm not even sure if that is a model of a real...

Thanks, I was going to accept Whiskey601's Bean answer, but since Slim has more posts, I'll accept that it is the JTF2 idea and I won't mention it again because it is probably classified.  I did the search through the Navy site to find that it was a destroyer (I initially thought it was the...

I was looking out my window this morning and I saw a destroyer and I was wondering what all the steam coming from the ship is from.  It looks kind of random to me, so I thought I'd post a pic and see who knows what causes this or if it's just regular exhaust.  Special note: I've probably just...

I just finished reading a really good Canadian Air Force book, Canada's Fighting Pilots by Edmund Cosgrove, I picked it up at the Halifax Memorial Library as it was published in 1965, but it was nice and short and had some really good stories about the talented fighter pilots that showed the...

Thanks everyone for the recommendations,  I will definately check out the library soon (don't know why I havent yet).  And I'm interested in getting the CAF: At War and Peace as soon as I finish the books I am currently reading.  Thanks again.

I called in yesterday to check on my application, they said it is in the pile or something, but I was going to be called within the month for an initial appointment for the aptitude test and medical, so I thought to myself, damn, how am I going to get ready for the fitness test within the next...

As the subject stated, I'm just looking for a book that gives the history of Canada's Air Force.  Any recommendations on other good Canadian Forces books would also be appreciated.  I'm kind of on a military history binge lately. Thanks.
