Hey, great guess Trampbike haha, got an email today saying I will be loaded on the May 14th BMOQ, so I guess I'll see you there. Do you know what you are doing between the end of school and start of BMOQ?

You're probably right, but  the merit list for AEC was extremely small.  Again, probably why they had a spot from last year haha.  From the numbers my MCC told me, it seems like they'll have extra spots to fill again next year.

Awesome, thanks!

I'm in 2nd year of civ-u.  I think that's why I got the offer from last year.

Thanks Trampbike, How have you found it contacting your ULO? Are they usually punctual with responses or does it take a few days?  I know they have a huge amount of people to take care of, but I was wondering how long is too long to not hear back from them.

I hope a few of you are still subscribed to this thread haha. I applied for ROTP 2012-2013 but was enrolled in ROTP 2011-2012, which means I am going to BMOQ this summer.  No recruit camp for me, so I guess I will have some catching up to do. Has anybody gotten BMOQ dates for this summer yet? ...

I didn't read his post like that at all haha.  Obviously we all think that we'll be good at the trade we applied for or we wouldn't have applied for it. That's essentially a question we're asked in the interview.  How will you help the CF, he just answered it. Then again I've made mistakes...

Congrats Matthew, seems like you just squeaked in there! Had my enrolment today, officially a member of the CF now!

Hey guys (and girls) Thanks everybody for the congratulations!  Like I said swearing in is Friday but I did find out that my first day of "work" is Tuesday.  The work consists of driving out to Chilliwack and meeting my ULO to organize all the paperwork.  That's all I've been told. Speaking...

If you've already been merit listed, I don't think there is anything you can do to up your score.  I could be wrong though.  Also from what I've heard the board is sitting sometime in the middle of this month, which is almost here.

Thanks! Same to you, I have a bit of stuff to do until Friday.  I'll be around here letting everybody know what to expect.  :) Good luck to everybody with their applications and keep us updated.

Got my official offer today!  I was excited all weekend but woke up pretty nervous as I was thinking more about leaving pilot behind, rather than going to AEC.  As soon as I heard the words "I have an offer for you" it was pure excitement. No word yet on my first course or any dates yet...

Depends on the trade. You are merit listed when everything required is finished(pilots, AEC and ACSO have to do aircrew selection, not sure about other trades).  You could be done medical, interview and CFAT but your medical or background check may not be finished or have gotten to the...

Very true, but I was thinking complete ignorance of the military system could be a problem.  I mean I wouldn't want to look stupid on my first day or anything (joking)  ;D Thanks for the info though, not too long until I find out for sure!

I'd hope they wouldn't pay me for nothing haha. By "send me back to civy life" I meant LWOP. I didn't know if it was possible to "work" before competing BMOQ. 

Yeah, but the good kind of waiting haha  :) There was an awesome word document that detailed all of the procedures for getting paid, what was covered (down to the dollar amount for calculators, medical equipment etc) as well as how leave worked and how you would be on LWOP (leave with out pay)...

Quote from Bowen in the ROTP 2011-2012 thread http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/92302.1250 So those selected from ROTP 2012-2013 do not go to BMOQ in the first summer no matter which of the three schools they will be attending. 

I have been told the same thing, that there is no way that selected applicants will do BMOQ their first summer.  I believe it says that on the forces.ca website as well.  Also remember that many applicants are in their last year of high school, not graduating until June which doesn't leave...

There's a bunch of speculation on that topic about 2 pages back. (on p18 I think) nobody knows for sure but most people have been told mid-April.

I could be totally wrong but I remember reading somewhere that you would just do the second "officer" half of BMOQ.
