Hi everyone,
I have a confusing situation and have had no luck in getting a clear explanation of this.
I officially enrolled on August 31st 2022, as an ACSO under the ROTP program. However, because of recruiting slowness and forgetfulness on their part, I couldn't go to RMC but was approved to go to a civilian Uni to study aviation (piloting and getting my pilot's license) as that is what I wanted to do. To my understanding, from what I have been told, very few have gotten accepted to a program like mine, and all but one (me) that were approved for this program were selected as PLTs in the RCAF. It's as if it's reserved for RCAF PLTs only. I achieved a high enough CFAT and CFAST score for the PLT trade but wasn't selected for it (without a given reason as to why). My ULO and others have no clue how they approved this course for me to study since I wasn't selected for PLT. Now, the part that I am wondering is if there is a possibility that once I graduate from my program and get my degree, I could somehow get into the PLT trade even if I wasn't already selected for it, or if I could somehow apply and maybe get selected for it later on.
As a side note, they approved the program right after I completed my CFAST as if they expected me to be chosen for PLT. Just my own thought tho.
Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated since becoming an RCAF PLT would be a dream. ACSO works fine too, but I feel it would be better in general and in case I get out after my time served for job opportunities.
Thanks
