My wife is an FSA in the Air Res. She completed BMQ and RQ PTE from May-Nov. She was home for 3 weeks in between the two courses. I want to say she was lucky but there was another Air Res FSA on her BMQ that was on her RQ PTE as well. BMQ will likely happen very quickly, you will get loaded...

In short, if there is an air unit, there is an Air Reserve Flight attached. They will be your primary source of information re positions. AOOs are employable at all Wings and Flying Sqns in some capacity or another but primarily at the Ops Desk. There is a lot of backlog in the AOO training as...

Oh no! I've finally be recognized!  I guess my 12 years of being aircrew is totally invalidated because I successfully applied for UTPNCM and have a super low rank because of promotion policy.  Makes sense.

Wow! good job on finding an old out of date document.  The errors included are numerous.  FREE ADVICE: If somebody is quoting CFAOs, read carefully, it's probably wildly out of date like this one is.

The term "Aircrew" refers to those with an aircrew medical category.  Aerospace Control trades are aircrew and are subject to the same restrictions that the rest of the flying community like crew rest and alcohol consumption.  It's not like Flight Steward/Attendant or Door Gunner that are manned...

I have met a few pilot OJTs along various phases of flight training and nobody i know got a full posting until they got their wings at the end of phase 3.  The courses are not long enough to warrant a posting and a move. 

I'm also in UTPNCM, and i assumed i would be on prohibited posting between university and occupational training which is why i picked a university that is co-located with my occupational training so i would not endure the separation from my family after university.  In all my research i did not...

Why yes it is, This is in fact the silliest thread ever. They will, and probably have just moved on to tail #2 and filled it up with the VIP layout.  It probably took them the rest of the day to configure the plane.  Yippie do da

Thank you kindly TACCO, examples are always helpful.  AD Regts do technically fall under Army history and they don't teach very much of that to the Air Force. Would it be fair to say that all three, Short, Medium and Long range AD assets would be beneficial for the CAF in the event of conflict...

Well, I'm going to be the radical opinion in this thread but here i go. The army doesn't need an ADATS/GBAD/MMEV.  They already have an Anti take system, it's called the tank. It is not the job of the Army to fight the battle in the air, that's what the Air Force is for. Counter-Proposal...

The last time i checked, many provinces have legislation in place that allows you to take time off work for military service. Look into this matter in your provincial statues. There may be maximum blocks you can take off at a time and still have your job protected under legislation. Also, every...

I submitted mine with my application.

I'm sure lots of members with families apply to RMC and go to school and are very successful. I specifically did not mention RMC on my application at all because i did not want the SCHOOL being my reason for not coming home to spend time with my family. Class and studying is already enough of...

What degree do you currently hold? What officer occupation did you apply for? 1. Yes, NCM's switch to officer all the time. in fact, it's encouraged by the CAF. 2. If you are enrolled as an NCM, the recruiters are basically done with you. Your chain of command (up to and including your...

At this time of year the CAF is taking in applications for the 2020 UTPNCM competition. You will have to find the relevant CANFORGEN with the details. In the new year they hold selection boards, In the spring they push out offers, then candidates move during APS and start school in the fall...

CAVEAT: Army and Navy Reserves have a hard time getting their members on Reg Force courses. RCAF Reserve ONLY trains their people on Reg Force courses. My spouse is RCAF Res who has done Reg Force BMQ and Reg Force QL3. The RCAF Reserve is totally integrated into Reg Force units therefore...
