I had the same issue when I joined up.  No one at my swearing in ceremony, which was two days before our flight to St. Jean, had recieved their joining instructions.  I brought it up and we were all given copies of it on the spot - was just an administrative error.  Ask and ye shall receive.

FAC used to be done mostly by Arty but is quickly becoming an Air Force trade again.  The team itself is called a Tactical Air Control Party (TACP), and the two trades that are the meat of the team are Aerospace Control Officers (AEC) (Weapons) on the Officer Side, and Aerospace Control...

The January intakes started on the new BMOQ. I'm on the last 2 weeks of the course right now if you need any info.  It is, put simply, just an amalgamation of IAP and BOTP.  A few people with IAP bypasses were put directly to week 7 or 8 of the course.

Seeing some pretty low numbers being thrown about here... just want to clarrify that the CF is not running BMOQs with 20 people or less. There's 3 English and 1 French BMOQ running right now from the January intake, all starting with more than 50 people.  May and August courses will have the same.

Be prepared to run until you vomit, then continue running until you go light headed and almost pass out.  Thats when you know you've put in enough effort.

Is one of the two "I don't care either way, Canada never wins anyways" options supposed to be different?  I'd like to put in my support for the Olympics.

My unofficial offer just became official today.  Found out yesterday that Toronto emailed back my positive Aircrew status, and got the call today with the official offer. Enrollment ceremony on January 15th, flight out of Vancouver on the 17th.

Drink more!  ;D Though more seriously, attempt to have a relationship last longer than 2 months.

Is the DVD you're talking about the one that contains an offline version of the CF Aerospace Control World website seen here: http://www.forces.ca/v3/media/modules/controller/splash.html ?

I'm confused as to whether I should be rolling my eyes at a 5 day political stunt, or giving kudos for him going and seeing firsthand what life is like on deployment.

I believe they stay in Cornwall.  95% certain, but I'm still waiting to hit BMOQ so someone with an insider view could confirm that.
