Looking for a VFR AEC officer who wouldn't mind sending me a direct msg to answer some questions I have regarding the common phase. Would greatly appreciate your time :)

AEC Course dates vary depending on the discipline but pretty much run twice a year, Jan/Feb-Jun ish and a second intake in the summer, Jun/Aug-Dec. I do not know the exact dates though.

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this one for me.  I am trying to CoT to AEC.  I currently have an A1 for air factor and I need A4 for AEC.  I went and did a medical and they signed it off as A1 again.  I am getting sent back to do the medical again because it needs to be A4. Can...

Thank you very much. :)

I did some searching on the site and found reference to an old canforgen about the air force slip ons and name tag from 2004. Was hoping someone could clear something up for me since I have to order some name tags from cpgear (was told they take 10 months if i ask for them here while training). ...

There are a lot of factors that will determine how long your background checks take.  No idea what they are since mine went through very fast, however i have seen people around here state their took 6 months or more.  Just call back your recruitment centre every 30-45 days and ask if there has...

I would love to be able to give you an answer to this but until you go in for your medical you probably won't get a straight answer here.  You could try asking in the "Ask A Recruiter" section or the "Enrollment Medical" section. I would also suggest browsing through this post...

I am fairly certain they will make us write one when we get there.  I just figured they removed it from the joining instructions because they were making everyone rewrite it anyway, even though they did one before hand.  I wrote one anyway because my file manager gave me the old joining...

I don't know what to tell you and i won't try (especially since the others have given what appears to be solid advice!).  I can tell you that seeing your child's birth is one of the best things you can ever experience!  I start BMOQ for reg force Oct 26 and it runs until Feb 26th and my wife is...

I finished Greenmantle by John Buchan about a month ago and it was fantastic.  Read Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (the trilogy in 5 parts version) which was hilarious and well worth a read.  Currently reading Entry Island by Peter May and so far it is pretty good.

From my experience they only contact you at the critical stages of the process.  For me they were: -Confirm a date to write the CFAT (i was told how i did, as was everyone else that day about 20 minutes after we finished, they kept us in the waiting room and called us up one by one) -Set up a...

So quick question... I got the joining instructions from my file manager a week or so ago (July 2014 version), read over them and saw the "write your autobiography on legal size lined paper and bring with you to BMOQ".  Went out and bought 500 sheets since that was the smallest amount Staples...

When you go make sure you stay positive and enjoy the experience.  As stated there will be a considerable time pressure and you most likely will have multiple tests where you don't answer all questions.  MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS! No one can really give you a break down or tell you...

Well looks like i will be joining you all on the 26th of Oct. Just got my offer of enrollment today! Going in for CEOTP-Pilot.

Thank you so much for the response and clearing this up for me.  I was told at my recruiting centre first that i missed the August 10 cutoff for this year as i was moved to the merit list at the end of August. They did admit however they were not 100% sure on that and were just assuming if you...
