AES op, not AEC op.  Airborne Electronic Sensor Operator (AES OP). (boy I hope I didn't get that wrong) http://www.forces.ca/en/job/airborneelectronicsensoroperator-8#info-1 To answer your question about AECs flying, as far as I have learned, only Air Weapons Controllers have the opportunity...

wow, that was a dumb post by me.  I meant to ask about postings outside of Canada.  Thanks for being nice.  :facepalm: -How difficult is it to switch over to an F-16 from a CF-18?(or between any two fighters for that matter) In terms of flying.  Landing on an Aircraft Carrier after being used...

SupersonicMax, I was wondering if there are any posting opportunities for pilots?

You also have to remember that pilot is by far the most applied for trade. I don't know how far you live from your recruiting centre, but I would check out some other trades and think about what is important to you.  Is it being in the Air Force, not being in the Army, being around aircraft...

I am applying through ROTP and I am in my second year of university. The tests for AEC are new this year for applicants and I am not sure what I am allowed to say about them.  It would be hard for me to tell you how to study for them without telling you exactly what is on them. Ask your MCC...

Sorry, I missed the second half of your question. I know of three different tests.  The pilot selection (CAPSS) which is a simulator that takes 3 days. The AEC selection which is a series of tests that takes just over 3 hours. and The ACSO selection which can be done at a recruiting centre...

I was told that my high school marks are not considered because I have completed a certain number of university credits, so only my university average would be taken.  Maybe high school marks can't help your application, only hurt it?  I am just speculating. I was sent only with AEC's because...

I was on the first Air Crew Selection for AEC at the start of January.  I was found suitable but not competitive for pilot in my interview. I could have worked hard on my application to maybe get a shot at pilot, if I was lucky.  But like I said, after hearing about AEC and considering for a...

Hi David L, Are you appling ROTP? The same thing happened to me in November.  I thought about it a lot and decided that being in the forces was more important to me than being a pilot. There is no guarantee that you will be able to switch trades, and if you do have the opportunity to switch...

You bet, looking back on it I think I only hated it like half the time....but in the moment I probably didn't enjoy much of it at all. I also heard something about them tweaking the training.  I know for a fact that VFR, IFR and Weapons are separated much sooner than they used to be.  I heard...

Got a call from the Recruiting Centre to book my update interview for the trades I added.  Since AEC only needs an airfactor of 4 (I think?) and ACSO needs a higher one, I am not sure if they'll send back my medical or not. I was told that I am ready to be put on the merit list and for my...

Whoops, that's a little embarrassing. I must have been thinking about the song "1980."  (I won't link it, its nsfw but on you tube if you want a laugh.)

I've said it before, but I go to SFU, second year. Man, I've been out there a couple times, for the RBC Canadian open and again yesterday for the Davis Cup... Such a nice campus. Huge, but it doesn't look like its from Orwell's 1980.

I was told mid-march is when the board would sit, but since I am civy-u (unsuitable for RMC) that my offer would be later.

That being said, CDN Aviator is 100% correct. 

I am on my phone now so I'm not going to do any more searching for you. I did read a thread on life after bmq recently. Probably in recruiting. A lot is two words.

Recruiters are also a great tool to use, they are there to help you.  Edit: to credit the members who made the posts I quoted

I am also in the process of adding trades to my application.  I only had AEC but after going to ASC and passing (and this being my last year to apply for ROTP) I was advised to add a second and third trade. There was two MCC's in the office with me and they both made very clear that the only...

I've heard that you cant transfer to RMC at all because of the indoc period during first semester, but I haven't looked it up.  I wanted to add RMC to my application but I wasn't even allowed to because I was told that I wouldn't be transferred anyways. oddly enough 3 of 7 people that were at...

What are your other choices of trade? I looked through your posts but couldn't find it. I'm adding ACSO to my application hopefully so possibly will be writing the aptitude test in the future as well. Also just found out that I was found unsuitable for RMC because I'm in second year at SFU, not...
