Congratulations mudshuvel! Great to hear after following this thread. Your success has given me some new hope I think too. Good luck in the military.

Yes definetely a frustrated if not slightly sarcastic remark..just thinking that had I not received any help, I would not have been medically rejected. Double edged sword... Thanks for turning a simple frustration into a witch-hunt. I should be allowed to freely type up my non-disrespectful...

I'm in a similar situation, and just got my letter yesterday. It seems that the military won't let you serve with a past episode of depression, but allows current members suffering from depression (likely developed after enrollement) to stay enlisted. I guess the best advice would be; just lie.

I meant to put the confused face in for my number 3 slot, not that i was confused about the MARS choice. I think I'd be pretty happy with MARS, so its good for me that the military is desperate

yeah good to get it done early, or so I hear. I'll be trying to transfer from first year uni, what about u guys?

Hey, Im hoping to attend RMC in fall 09' as well. 1. Pilot 2. Mars 3. ???

Thanks for your replies, I'm glad to hear that you can rank your choices, even if ultimately it's not your decision. Although fighter would be my top choice, I still think multi is pretty cool, so I can be flexible on that. Im flying Cessnas for my PPL, so I know that fixed wing is what I want...

Hey all, I'm hoping to become a pilot with the forces, but am pretty passionate about being a fighter pilot, rather than multi or helo. Does anybody/anybody who's been through the process know if you have a choice, and if it at all counts for anything? Or are you just SOL if they don't give you...

wow I had no idea it was possible to redo ASC if you end up failing it. I haven't heard of that before, where did you see that?

I've finished ground school and am about 25 hours into my flight training. (PPL) I'm already hooked ;D my poor wallet...

Very true, and thanks.

Thanks for your replies, that was pretty fast. I'll assume that there isn't any difference what program you're in... I only ask because military airplanes are sophisticated pieces of technology, so it only made sense to me that recruiters would be looking more for people with a science sortof...

Hey, I would really like to become a pilot with the CF (ROTP), and was wondering if your program type effects your chances. i.e Arts or Sciences. I've done some research, and know that someone persuing an arts degree can become a pilot, but do the science/engineering applicants have a better...

Yes, they did for me
