    .50 on CF helicopters

    I've spoke to several guys who have all said it's an Armoured position. Ostensibly, it's so that there's a liason in air to provide info on vehicle movements from the sky. Not 100% sure of its veracity but it sounds plausible!

    .50 on CF helicopters

    Ugh... Can you carry it then? I don't really want to go bush-bashing with that bad boy slung on my back!

    Yet another story with a moral

    ahahahahaha. If only! My combat estimates would be done in a matter of seconds then.

    Yet another story with a moral

    CDN Aviator: I realize that nothing is certain, and there is a numbers game aspect to it as well. However, there's nothing wrong with hope. If he really shines, they'll notice that more than someone doing so-so. I'm sure if he has to wait, he'd like it to be because of the quota's accord...

    Yet another story with a moral

    If you go in there and just knock the socks off all the tests, you shouldn't have a problem with anymore waiting. Just be the best you can, and don't take no for an answer. Just really prove you want to be there, and that you'd be the top candidate for the job. I'm sure Mr. O'Leary was...

    Military Career Advise

    It blows me away how people come to this site looking for answers to their recruiting questions, and then show an attitude to people helping them out. I just don't get it.

    Greatest Naval Commanders

    As difficult as it is for me to decide on this topic, I'm going to stir the pot with a little food for thought. While I realize this is about naval commanders, what about those who came from a time when you led an armed force, it didn't matter where the battle took place; you led it! For...

    What happens if you are sworn in as a pilot, but failed a course (ex. phase 2,3)

    All the time! It can be very difficult to lead your peers out of their rooms at the hotel when there's no room service and get something to eat at the steakhouse in the lobby when they've been working for 5, 6, or maybe even 7 hours in one day!  ;D

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    Just to support that notion as well, I have a liberal arts degree as well. My double major in Religious Studies and Classics may not be the most popular degree, but the CF seems to love it. I'm just beginning my career as an Infantry officer, and my 'pointless' degree impressed someone...

    WHEN IS the next Naval Officer Assessment Board (NOAB) ?

    If you 'guess' you can take care of bumps in the military, why can't you handle them now? You won't be selected for the person you might be, you will be selected for the person YOU ARE NOW. I don't know what to tell you. You keep hitting on the same points and you don't listen to what people...

    Military and Facebook

    And remember, it goes both ways too. You might lose some respect along the line if your statuses are things along the lines of: "Ahhh man, so hungover. Can't believe how fat the girl was I went home with last night." Not saying you will post that at all, but just keep it in mind. We're all...

    WHEN IS the next Naval Officer Assessment Board (NOAB) ?

    Agreed. It's frustrating to wait, yes. However, your attitude as anyone can read from these posts is petulant and irritating to say the least.

    BMOQ Sept 2010

    I'm not, unfortunately. I myself and the majority of people I've spoken to are assigned to 0048E. I'm sure we'll be brushing shoulders a fair bit though!

    20 meter Beep Test -Merged

    Occam, Thanks for bearing with me. I just wanted to make sure I was doing things right. So when I came across a few posts stating a level only counts once completed, I was slightly nervous about having my above-average score turn into just a mediocre one. I realize this is a public site and...

    20 meter Beep Test -Merged

    The confusion comes from some posters on this thread stating contradictory things as to what constitutes a level. In reading back, someone asked what the minimum level meant and it was replied that the level 6 minimum meant every stage in level 6 up to 6.10 had to be completed. That would mean...
