OMFG! When you rolled inverted in the T-Bird, sometimes the seatpack would lift you out of the seat about an inch and that really made you sweat. I can only imagine falling in the canopy and on top of that he probably had full nose down trim which means your pinned to the canopy even more.

Hornets patrol everywhere. They are NORAD assets and must cover our side of the border. 'Nuf said.

...MG, I think DEO will definitely increase and may affect CEOTP but ROTP is a static number and I doubt it will change. We have a certain quota for RMC and Civ U. If the DEO applicants come en-mass then yes CEOTP should be reduced because right now I don't believe the Career Managers can...

:o Man I'd take you in right now if it wasn't for this HS diploma thing. You're doing very good with what you have now and BTW RMC has an outstanding basketball and volleyball program so you may want to check it out at rmc.ca/athletics.

Hey Recceguy you're right. The Inuit instructors on Arctic Survival use to say: ''If you don't eat...you don't shit and if you don't shit...you die.'' Btw the igloo crapper was a larger than normal igloo with a three hole seat and it was kept warmer than our own igloos so guess where we spent...

BMS, Somehow my post ended up being only the little icon!!!  :salute: Maybe someone higher then me in CFRG is a moderator in this forum and decided to delete what I wrote???  >:( What was supposed to be written on there was the ROTP selection is what you need to focus on in the next two years...

:salute:

Med Tec you are right. The two TV adds were designed for the target audience (that's the 18-24) with the add that has the action in it. The second add with all the support trades (flood in MB,...) was meant for the influencers such as parents and school teachers. They are shown at different...

CH-47's gotta be faster than the 90kts of the Kiowa. Maybe the Warrior has an extra 10-20kts but it still should be slower than the Chinook. If Griffon has 140Kts max speed, Chinook must be close.

I've enrolled a few 40+ guys lately and told them to show the younglings how its done. You have an advantage. If you are able to do it at your age at least you've prooven it., whereas the younger kids don't know how fit they will be when they reach your age. Its all about the positive approach.

Virago, The P Res throws 5(f) releases around like crazy when guys don't turn in their kit. I see someone at least once every other month trying to get back in with a 5(f) in his jacket. Unfortunately for applicants, we take these very seriously and if it is legit. we turn down the applicant...

Unfortunately redoing basic sucks but when you think about it, it will give you more credibility vis-à-vis others because you will have shown you can still do it whereas guys like me who did it 20 years ago just ride the wave thinking (read hoping) I could still do it. If you get a deployment in...

Hey Megsy, Good on you for doing this. Here is my two cents on your situation. 1st get your CA designation because you always want a safety net when dealing with joining the CF. I won't lie to you, Pilot is very popular and although we accept V2 standards, most applicants show up with flying...

I flew in there in 2001 looking for a CF104 for a pedestal. The Kiowas had moss and mildew growing all over them. They'd been quarantined by the RCMP cauze the guy who bought them was trying to sell them to Iran or Iraq as ''crop dusters''.

I knew what you meant. I just confirmed it with an example. I had to do a SC for Gen Dumais when he was Comd 1 Cdn Air Div for 146 in AFG and it wasn't pretty. Around Kabul wasn't even an option because of altitude, temps and the threat lvl. Down south we might be able to fly more than 30mins...

I had a friend on exchange flying the Apache when I was in Bosnia in 99 and he came to visit in VK. He was supposed to lead a 4-ship and two crapped-out on start. He told me that serviceability was a big problem with the AH-64s. Cobras had a better serviceable rate.

It has become a collectors item. The airforce has one similar but not as cool. Some CFRCs still have a few boxes in the basement. If you are a uniformed member, just voluteer to help out at a recruiting event and ask for a cap in exchange. Pretty cheap!!! We have a perfect record in aviation...
