The dirty secret about SLT is that they tell you the reason you do it is that because the wait for pilot training is so long, you may as well learn french, right? Well, at least in the experience of several guys on my BMOQ, the case is that you don't get slotted for PFT until after SLT is over...

It's really an individual thing. I was supposed to have signed an "air ops" contract, but I failed the air nav exam and that leaves only Aerospace Control Officer and Pilot in the air ops category. My career-counselor officer at my CFRC switched it to be a Pilot contract specifically, so it may...

It is a possibility, but I would wager you being a DEO entry would have a pilot offer, not air ops. I'm an ROTP entry who only has 1 year left, and at my swearing in last week I specifically signed a contract for Pilot, not any sort of ambiguous entry. You could always call your CFRC for a...

This is great, I was thinking the newly cut-down list was going to be nothing but ROTP guys. This will be a great mix.

Really? I can only find stuff on the US Army and whatnot. Good thing I have an extensive coin collection to draw from.

Made it through aircrew and everything, so I'm now joining the BMOQ May 5th as well. Surname: Clark Age: 22 Occupation: Air Ops Anyone going should check out this CF production called "Basic Up." It's basically a reality show about BMQ but much of it still applies. See you guys there...

Just to confirm, yes the cognitive test has been phased out. I did ASC back in February and none of my group did it even though it was still on the sheet. I'd been told that a few weeks before that they decided to start doing it only for people who'd had ADD or something similar before.

I just got mine back a few days ago and I did ASC the last week of February. The medical officer at my CFRC said they usually tell you on the spot whether you pass or fail. Basically no news is good news (a guy in my group was told he failed on the spot), so don't worry about it.

Read some of the posts right before yours. I have a DEO friend who's been cut from the May BMOQ and moved to August because of this, I'm hoping I still get to go though.

I called today and they said they're still figuring it out for people in ROTP. They told me to wait til I get my aircrew medicals back for a confirmation on BMOQ (even though I already have confirmed BMOQ based on passing aircrew, which I did so far minus the medicals).

I was just told this by a friend of mine who's DEO as well. Is there any info on whether this applies to ROTP guys? I'm in my 3rd year and was supposed to be doing BMOQ on my summer before 4th year... I guess I'll find out tomorrow or whenever I get a chance to go.

I "had" to quit because it's lifeguarding and swimming instruction. This session (like a school term) goes from March to the end of June. If I get accepted I have to go to BMOQ on May 4th. So since I can't teach half the lessons then pass the kids off to another instructor, yes I did have to quit.

I hear that. I had to quit my lifeguarding job banking on passing my aircrew medicals... still no call, and no job. It's nervewracking isn't it?

A few from my aircrew a few weeks back had conditional offers from CFRC London for RMC.

It's not lack of confidence, it's acknowledging there are no guarantees. What if I break my leg or something? There are too many factors to say I will pass, but that's not saying I'm not going to try my very hardest with the utmost determination.
