Sworn in tomorrow as well with a posse. Did not know so many people cared.  Flying out Jan 06, 07 : 0900h  Winnipeg. 

I was told by a zoomie friend here at the Flight Training School in Portage not to move anyone or anything, especially on your dime.  However yes months away from the family will be difficult. The wife and I have discussed this eventuality (long periods of separation), right now she is good to...

Thanks for the link....No breaks except the weekend. 

Taxes, yes......I am closing down a business, quiting a job and have a wonderful wife who does not want to be audited.  SLT:  7 more months away from the wife may be a blessing to some but a break in between IAP/BOTP would be "NICE".

Stinking typo:::    That would be April 20, 2007  NOT 2006

Some possibly stupid questions that have kept me up since my offer: 1. Does anyone have any information about SLT training......looking for a start date after April 20, 2006. 2. Tax time:  How does one fill out the forms or at least sign them when you do not have time to do so? Especially if...

I guess I will be the only one who gets to skip the requisite hair trimming (aka Hazing). Lost the hair when the kids came and the wife likes the military look, which is JUST WHAT I AM GOING TO HAVE FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS.........I FINALLY MADE IT..........IAP HERE I COME.... Swearing in...

Which IAP there are two in Jan:  start dates 8th and the 15th.

Pilot/Air Nav was my dream as well....tubed Aircrew and now working on my third career choice Aerospace controller.  The best bet is to enroll as a CEOTP.  You have to ask for this entry plan when you go to the recruiter as they do not explicitely offer it as an entry choice.  Keep in mind that...

IAP/BOTP START DATES FOR JANUARY 07: JAN 08/07 THROUGH TO MAR 09/07 JAN 15/07 THROUGH TO MAR 16/07 Hope this helps.  I also posed the question:  What if you accepted the offer but declined the IAP/BOTP session date to chose an alternate due to employee/employer contractual obligations or...

Did he specifically state that there is an IAP/BOTP in February?  I am aware that there is IAP/BOTP in April.  I guess I will check with the RC to see verify. 

Does anyone know where I might find a timetable for AEC 2007 course start dates? Attempting to plan ahead knowing that its just a plan.

As one of my friends told me the group is only as fast as its slowest man.  Yes, you do become complacent while waiting, either before testing or after testing.  I have noted over the past year the waxing and waning of my physical training.  Fortunately, during the waning period the CFRC would...

Ouch!  I guess all my training will come in handy provided I get picked up on the next board for Jan 08 / 07.  Great to lose the weight and get back some of that muscle.  Sitting by a computer looking after computer makes you soft and squishy.  Thanks for the information! 

Did any of you guys have to pass the requisit PT test??? I have not recieved an offer yet for COETP yet as my file just went to the boards for Nov.  I have been training for months now.  I have heard that they eliiminated the PT test?
