i've finished an Avionics (AVS) course at a civi college and im doing the AVN through civi college again, and i have to say Avionics was almost twice as hard. Well for me that is. Its less hands on and more theory. I could never get a grasp of electronic theory. Sure i passed but never and will...

I was in the exact same boat! But I was an avionics technician and not an M cat, just E. I joined for a stable job, and I've already done 4 years civi and 2 years college. Honestly it doesn't matter if you get your M catagory because it'll expire within the 2 years. I'm sure you already knew...

I bought my first vehicle in the US when i was 19. It was a nice coupe but didn't last very long. I'm 24 now and have been offered a job in CF (starting in Aug 4th is my swear in date). I'm debating if i should purchase a new Nissan Xterra Off Road. I'm not quite sure if its a good idea buying a...

thanks to you actually. You sent me a text the day before and I called the recruiting center right away. From there i went and did an interview. Went by pretty quick. There was actually 2 guys from the recruiting center before me who had already recieved offers.

well lets hope its still open! I received my offer last week. (i accepted it of course) I was really worried that i wouldn't get my SEP for my AVN course at Canadore college. Aldo supprized to know that it isn't in HIGH demand as i thought. When I was interviewed I was told that there was only...

I feel pretty pumped, got my offer today!! Now i hear there are only 12 positions opened.

I just got an interview with the recruiters today. The AVN SEP was opened just last thrusday and there are only 15 openings. Lets hope we both get them!

another dumb question. I frequently play paintball and airsoft. Will i be able to keep them around with me? Obviously care will be taken.

I'm not quite clear on pricing because guys in the barracks at wing 22 tell me they pay 80-100$ in rent? But i'm reading barracks else where are roughly the same prices as civvie single rooms. 400-500ish are they all bunk beds or is it possible to have your own room?

Just wondering how life in barracks is. With the weekly room inspections and such, will i be able to keep say a licensed pistol/ ar-15 in my room? And what about women? If i pick one up, can she come spend the night with me :)

So i withdrew from the AVS tech SEP for fall 2009. I decided I'm better off a mechanic rather than an avionics technician. After waiting 2 months for the colleges reply i finally receive my acceptance letter for AVN, so i reapply for AVN. One of the recruiters mentioned to me that they are full...

lol i'll do my best

Is QL5A an equivalent to a civilian license? Could you tell me how quickly it would take to get there and finish?

my apologies, I forgot to have added I'm in my second year in college. I'm at Canadore College, Avionics technician to be exact. Say if I were sworn in tommorrow, and failed during christmas. What would become of the rest of the last college semester? Would I still get paid? Ok so I see I...

I went and took a look at the Spec pay sheet. I understand that as an AVS/AVN we do receive spec 1. Now the question is, under "Quals" it says Q5LA. What exactly is that? So I take it, its not true being a Corporal, you don't receive Spec pay 1 immediately? Can someone explain to me how...
