I'm not worried, I had tons of fun on the different aircrew courses I did. I'm really looking forward to getting into the trade.

And I'm looking forward to seeing you at 404.

Probably better to start off in MH anyway, that way you won't know what you are missing.

In all honesty, if I had to choose right now I would'nt even know because both platform are really interesting from what I know of the different people I spoke with. I don't think I would mind any of the two.  :nod:

The Cyclone looks fun!  The airport stinks (I'm ex-Navy). 

I'd love to play with the sensors on that chopper.

And who knows, maybe we'll get an aurora replacement too someday in the next 50 years

It's easy. Do you want to be gone from home months or weeks?

You mean UAV replacement?

Good question, I don't mind being gone for months, and for the UAV, are they any that can carry torpedo? I was thinking Militarized C-series lol

 

[Sub_Guy]

It'll be a while before we have UAVs capable of performing ASW tasks.  Lots of ideas, nothing proven.

I am pleased to announce that I have officially received my offer of employment from the Canadian Armed Forces. I will be enrolled as a DE AESOP recruit school bypass and posted to 17 Wing Winnipeg on 7 June 2017.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to his forum throughout the years. You have provided me with a clear vision of a career that provides fulfillment and purpose in ways few other professions do. I'm excited to get started.

Although, my wife wasn't to happy to hear that she was unwillingly enrolled into the pissed off wives and disappointed kids club. Jokes aside, my wife and I look forward to meeting all of the AESOP's on this forum throughout my career.

Best of luck to anyone applying, DE, OT or otherwise. My application took about a year. Please don't give up. Stay active and engaged. Ensure your success by doing everything you can to facilitate the process.

Please PM me anytime to chat.

 

[Sub_Guy]

Congrats.

Best of luck at 402.

:bravo:

Congrats! Are you loaded on the next course in July?

Congrats! Are you loaded on the next course in July?

Thanks! My offer didn't include a course loading message. I doubt I'm on the July serial though. With 2 courses a year and 12 students on each, I'll be lucky if I make the next one that usually runs in January.

Since BAQC is now an amalgamated ql3/5, I'm certain that I will need to do AMT, Basic Lands Op Survival Course/Basic SERE crse, and the Sea Survival crse before I'm even considered. I'm just itching to get my feet wet.

See you at 402? You already there?

They're all fun courses! I think you need your AMT and sea survival at minimum for the BAQC if I'm not mistaken. I'm not at 402 yet, I'm on an OJT in Valcartier but  I was told to expect to be at 402 in July

 

[Eagle_Eye_View]

At a minimum, you will need AMT and BEW to be eligible for BAQC.

Thanks for the correction

LRP and MH do *both* of those, in reality.  I was gone A LOT in 2016; complete months I was gone - Jan/Feb/Mar/Oct/Nov/Dec.  Partial months I was gone - May/Jun/Jul/Sep. 

You mean UAV replacement?

Replacement would suggest we have a UAV (in the RCAF) now...JUSTAS is moving ahead like cold molasses going uphill backwards in a Manitoba January morning.  ;D

 

[Eye In The Sky]

Sea survival and Air Ops Land Survival or whatever it is called now (BSERE back when I did it) are as fun as you let yourself make them.  I enjoyed all of it.  Winnipeg and MOAT are hard, lots of studying if you aren't the "do the minimum to get by" type and if you are...that will catch up to you at some point.  >
