Refer to a recruiter for selection dates. Wrt which stream you'll be entered into:  you submit your preferences and they take that into consideration.  I haven't seen many that were made to go ATC when they wanted Weapons or vice versa. The master course calendar can be found from any dwan...

Are you looking to Weapons or ATC? ATC wise the only operational unit would be Greenwood.  I've never been there, so I can't comment on how effective the stay would be in preparation for your course.

If you get streamed IFR/VFR there'll be a pre-course in Trenton for a couple weeks immediately before going to Cornwall.  The first 2 weeks in Cornwall will serve as a common course for general aviation information.  Both the IFR and VFR courses are changing dramatically, so a lot of the stream...

My advice going forward would be to always know the selection dates, when your medical/interview expire and when you are/aren't on the merit list. I nearly missed joining the CF due to falling off the merit list; the RC had not advised me the interview/medical do expire after a year.  Also, I...

Refer back to your recruitment center for up-to-date numbers for the trade. They may also be able to provide you with the date of the selection board. I can only speak to the Air Traffic Control side of AC Op/AEC. Undergoing AC Op training would certainly give you an advantage when training as...

Coming from a former cheesemaker, all processed cheeses are made with real cheeses.  Even those made with small amounts of real cheese (ie. fat free cheese slices) contain ALOT of milk products that are a biproduct of the cheese making process (skim milk powders, whey proteins, etc). Also...

I would advocate to disregard most of what people would describe as "your odds"; if you're passionate about becoming a Pilot, don't be afraid to keep going with it.  You have 2 other choices on your application regardless.  I don't know what this year's DEO numbers look like, but from previous...

Keep in mind what the assessment is used for; evaluating your leadership. Completing the task does not mean you're an effective leader.

You'll have time to charge it in the evening during your own free time (what little of it that you have).  I would highly discourage bringing the charger along with you during the day; baggage is a bad thing. I also advocate quitting altogether.  There is very little time during the morning and...

In the event that your application is completly processed and that you've been made an offer prior to the wedding; another option is to have your RC make a request you be placed on a later BMQ/BMOQ course.  When I was given my offer and my swear in date, it would have been less than a week from...

Hey Green, AEC here. I was recruited last summer, and my offer came in a few weeks after the selection board date.  I haven't gone to Cornwall yet; but from my experiences so far, AEC is a great environment to be a part of.
