I definitely would. In fact I'd love to start there and get a better idea of what I'd be getting myself into.

Okay, good to know. I'm not looking to relinquish my commission. Is there a reason why JTF-2 NCMs don't require an OT and CSOR NCMs do? I'm mostly just curious about that. Yeah, I'm aware that they may not want to let me go, especially considering that there's a shortage of pilots right now...

Sorry, component transfer was the wrong term. OT is what I was looking for. So, just to put those two replies together and make sure I'm understanding properly, in order to be an operator/assaulter (I'm assuming JTF-2 falls under that as well?) I would have to OT. Does that change if I want to...

I looked through most of the topics listed here and I couldn't find an answer to this question: how does my obligatory service effect my ability to join CANSOFCOM, specifically as a trained pilot? Maybe I'm using the wrong term with 'obligatory service,' but I know when I joined I signed...

Haha. For the "out years" for FY 14/15 Infantry Officer has 1 predicted opening for internal CEOTP. We'll see how this goes I guess.

Sorry, I just meant that I didn't understand where that was said in AFO. I wasn't trying to get after you. Bad communication on my part. Where did you get this info? Is that referring to people joining the CF, or would that also apply to internal Occupational Transfers?

I read through AFO 5007-9, but I don't see your proof there. DAOD 5002-9 states "An applicant to the CEOTP may be a Regular Force officer transferring from another officer enrolment plan". The AFO you referenced is only reffering to the RCAF. I am aware that CEOTP is rare these days, but I...

Where are you getting That information? I know someone from the CEOTP - AEAD program who failed phase 1 flight training and other officer occupations were available to him, he just didn't take them. Here (http://admfincs.mil.ca/admfincs/subjects/cfao/010-01_e.asp) I read that an untrained...

Thanks. I set up an appointment with them. This is one of those things where I know it's not the same, I just don't know exactly how it is different. Do you think there is any possibility I could shadow one for a day or two? I'm at CFB Edmonton. Any ideas if that is worth sending up my CoC...

I found this on DWAN. Once you have access and read it over. Lots of useful information for anyone wanting to transfer. Annex A is specifically regarding transfer to the pilot MOC. http://admfincs.mil.ca/admfincs/subjects/cfao/010-01_e.asp Here is a piece of it: ELIGIBILITY 3.    To be...

I just found this on another topic: BTL Officers – after BMOQ. May apply at any time after completion of BMOQ and prior to completion of occupation training. May only request from the monthly reassignment list and may be limited out of understrength occupations; What is the monthly...

Thanks, that's helpful information. What kind of instructing are you talking about? Do you mean different courses? Would that not be very similar to field work? What about after you do a tour away from a battalion and potentially come back as a Captain or Major, what type of role would you play...

I'm aware of that, but obviously some trades have more of that than others, and it seems as though pilots get a whole lot of that kind of stuff. I'm asking if someone can compare that to infantry officers. I don't mind learning things, I'm not a tard, but what pilots do seems particularly...

So, I've got quite the complicated situation: I am currently a pilot waiting to start my training under the CEOTP AEAD entrance program. This means that I am a commissioned 2 Lt with no degree. I have completed BMOQ and that's it for my military training. After spending some time at 408 THS on...
