Oh, I thought they just took turns playing solitaire. :dontpanic:

The long awaited COTP instructions message has arrived, effective 11 July I will be switching over to Air Force as an Aesop, probably won't see a course for about a year but that is fine with me!! ;D

I don't think that this is a very fair example, you can put a well spoken guy with a degree in with a bunch of enlisted guys and he will sound just like them after a month or two. They are two different cultures (commissioned and non) that are bred in two different ways. There is a certain...

Thanks bud, good luck to you as well!

LOL, everything (except for the female stuff) was true, I don't know what a Skip it is though. ;D

LOL thanks Crow! I dont mind a little ribbing here and there, I am still quite proud of how far I have come though. How is the MOAT course aesop081? Is it anything like BAC, I take it you get posted after BAC but what happens if you get Comox, do you still go to Greenwood for MOAT or do they do...

I have witnessed it personally, a fellow 277, he fell under the "Let's get this useless POS out of here" category, he went RMS. You are right though, it is not likely. 

When I got married in July in Nova Scotia we were all out for my stag party, i was pretty hammered but who walks in to the bar? Randy from trailer park boys!! LOL, I asked him all sorts of dumb drunken questions and we got him to sign our shirts, for mine he said "Geoff, stop getting drunk in...

Shhh, they will hear you. My unit sent out my acceptance, the hospital messed up on my medical and didnt send it out because they neglected to mention that I actually have to redo all of it and not just the bloodwork. So I sat around waiting for 3 wks for nothing. Redoing it on the 11th, word...

You actually only have to be QL4 qualified, if you complete your QL5 course you will then have to do 24 more months before you will be eligible or else you will need a naval waiver (which are rarely given out, you have to have extenuating (sp) circumstances). So it is a pretty small window in...

Joined the Reg Force Navy in 98 in the newly created Nav Comm trade (Nav Sig, and Nav Rad Op amalgamation), have just sent in my acceptance to my COTP Offer to AESOp!

You do not have to salute the flag if it is at half mast, however, you have to salute if it is during morning colours or for the ceremony at sunset, or while it is actually being half masted (I could be wrong on that last one but I don't think so). You can find more info about half masting in...

Does that mean that only 3 made it through now? and if you can say, were the ones that didnt make it cut academically or for other extenuating circumstances? Thanks!

Congrats bud! hopefully I am next. :salute:

Great thanks guys. I am really looking forward to it!

Hey thanks for the tip NCRCrow, I am actually at Athena right now with a bunch of NESOPS and SIG guys, the BPSO also gave me the AESOp PIP with a whack of math stuff on CD, I had to write a test at the BPSO when I applied and from what I hear you complete basically that same CD that I have...

Right on! Hope all goes well, any tips for a noob?

Hello Aesop081, I just got my message and will be an Aesop hopefully as of April 1st! Just thought I would say Hello.

AFAIK, there is no set minimum for the grip test, rather, they tally the total on your grip test (best for each hand out of two tries each) + total push ups (use proper form) + total sit ups, that total has to equal at least 175 or something, sorry cant remember the exact number. HTH! Edit...

What about Chief ERA (chief engineering room articifer?)
