Hey all, I have recently developed an interest to switch trades to a Medical Officer.  I know at least 1 person who has done this in the past.  I was wondering if anyone had any info on this.  I will be going to see the BPSO but again just curious if anyone new anything about the process of...

I was just wondering if physical fitness has anything to do with level of eyesite.  I was told be a doctor it can only help, i have managed to be able to run 5km in under 18 minutes now, and bench press 225lbs 18 times, and my last cyclic test was better then my one 4 years ago.  A little off...

hey inch, Did you pay for any of your own flying hours during the wait.  I was fortunate enough to meet someone with their own plane who has taken me up flying, im not sure rusty would be the appropriate word, however by the end of the flight it was starting to come back.  Yeah im just thinking...

Thanks for the info zoomy kind of what i thought just someone told be different tonight, so thought i would ask

Just a question, im an ojt pilot right now with a pft bypass.  Someone had told me tonight if you have an ifr and it has expired the mil. will pay for a recert just curious if anyone knows if this still exists, i know it has in the past.  So if anyone has an knowledge on this I am quite curious...

Im just curious why they put through so few people a year.  Maybe someone who has done the civy multi which can be done in under a week could enlighten me.  Before people rip on this i realize in civy world they are not teaching you to possibly transition to a C17.  Does it have to do with the...

Just a quick question here.  Do most of the single pilots that go to MJ live in the Sq's.  Also what is the cost there.  Ive heard many different answers to this, just curious if someone there can give me some real numbers?

There is specific trades which require a profile for example JAG s, and I would think that Franco pilots still must earn the necessary profile.  However, im not sure who exactly  requires it.  I know when I did it we had a couple of lawyers and they had to get a BBB, and Franco pilots had to get...

We were told no more french, and the question was asked if its not offered to everyone then how will it reflect on the merit board.  The answer was simply it will no longer be part of the merit board.  However, that specific queston about promotions was not asked so I cant answer with 100%...

Was in a briefing not too long ago and this topic came up.  We were told as of April 07 no more SLT right after BOTP, with certain exceptions such as JAG s, because of this second language will no longer be a merit board consideration, I believe it was said as of Nov 07.

From what I have heard they will be piping a few onto the C17 out of portage, however, i believe you do have to do a tour before getting on the Airbus.  The challenger not too sure about.  What I have been told is you can go from rotary to fixed, but you will have to do an instructional tour in...

Thanks for the response inch,  I have had some pay issues about them not knowing what i was entitled to, which has taken a year and a half to finally sort out, hence the reason i asked here hoping someone with recent experience could answer my questions.  By no means am I blaming the clerks, if...

One more Question, lets assume it takes 5 years to get ones wings.  So he would be paid 2 of those as a capt. Now, would this mean he would start at a Capt base, 1, or 2?  Also if one went through as scheduled (I know this will not happen more curiosity) say 2.5 years to wings, he would then get...

A question to anyone out there.  I ve heard rumors going in many different directions with regards to pay after wings.  My question is as a pilot are you garunteed captains pay after 3 years regardless if your winged or not.  So would you be getting backpay to the 3 year date?  Also as a 2Lt...

Just posted to the peg, and was wondering where a good place to find info on a bsmnt apt or bachelor in  the area of the base or at least in safe area.
