Logistic Officer questions

[Kilted]

For Airforce, we Go directly to LOCC (Logistic officer common course) after BMOQ.

After that, it can vary depending which course is being offered first.

You have to do your specialty course. You’ll be able to tell your preference during your first weeks in BMOQ. For me, it’s finance and I’m doing it before the element course.

Then you’ll do the element related course.

if you’re army, you’ll normaly have BMOQ-A before the 3 courses.

If you’re navy, you don’t really have a choice for your specialty. You must do supply and finance.

I Hope this answer your question.

Is BMOQ-A similar to Phase 2 or Common Army Phase?

See this video on

regarding the BMOQ-ARMY Officer Course. You have to watch on youtube.

For sure, but I never had to explain the basic contracting process to a post AHOD Navy log two ringer before, or walk them through section 34, but may have been an outlier that I was dealing with that didn't have any real experience thrown into a senior position.

Can you point yo a resource that explains this process? Asking for a friend

Fact: since completing that training, I did buy a drill.

However, since it was for myself, I could just do a sole source to deWalt to maintain compatibility with my existing cordless tools.

Yes, you should be able to express your preference.
Doesn’t mean you’ll be offer that element, but they’ll try. For example, I was offer my 1st choice.

Hi ! I just had my interview for LogO and said my first trade choice was AirForce ! Do you know if they give you base choices when they call you or do you have to accept the one and only choice they have for you ? Thanks in advance

you too eh ?

From what I understand, there is some wiggle room after LOCC in Winnipeg to be sent out to one of the Wings. The wing locations are listed online, but it seems like there are many dotted coast to coast.

If you're going in for the Reg Force, you may state your choice of posting, but you never know if it is what you'll get. You'll only be able to express those while in BMOQ and after that (Not with the recruitment center). When they offer you a job, you don't know for where. (Except for reservist) The trade and the element wil be mentionned.

As for LOCC it is currently offered in Borden, ON in English and Valcartier, QC in french. No courses were given in Winnipeg in the past years.
LOCA (Air force logistic course) has been offered in Winnipeg a few times.

The entire Log Training structure is changing, beginning in 2025. Courses are being rewritten, OFP is being moved to after what was traditionally phase 3 (LOCC). Given where you are in the process, you are perfectly lined up to be a guinea pig in the first set of pilot courses the school in Borden will offer.

Which element you choose/are assigned will determine where your options to get posted will be after training in Borden. Each of the Land/Air/Navy elements will offer you different experiences, and understanding what the differences at the beginning can greatly assist in tempering expectations.

And then there is the offshoot to finance. Which even as a former Fin O, makes me wonder how long we can justify keeping that capability in uniform.

EMC 32,33,34 is the best. If you have experience I recommend click through to the test and give it a try. If you don't have experience bunker down for a long mind-numbing session somewhere with no interruptions for 8 plus hours.

But being a guinea pig on a pilot usually means you will pass.

Keeping purely Fin O may become easier with the tightening purse strings needing more monitoring. Sure NCMs can do it but you need an O to present the report brief.

So then for those LogO aspirants leaving in Sept, will it then mean the new course material after BMOQ?

What does between finishing BMOQ late November and LOCC look like? Does anything start up in December?

Training courses run in December all the time!
Likely there will be a break at the latest 20 December for Xmas leave, then back to work/school by the 6th of January or so.

CFLTC generally never runs LogO crses split over the Xmas break. I have never seen it 15+ years, they could but they use a CFTPO/incremental staff model for instructors so it would be painful to manage.

There is currently no LOCC on the training calendar after Fall 24 likely due to course rewrites, but they generally run 2-3 a year with a Spring and Fall serial as the most common and a 3rd added when needed. Unless they have changed the employment model for LogOs post BMOQ you generally go to your first posting location under that base's Basic Training List (BTL) do OJT and await courses.

I Hope this answer your question.

What are the other options you had? If you are a Air Force LogO is it easy to be posted in Ottawa?
