    Bringing back "Double Dipping"

    I would completely agree that old timers shouldn't be taking jobs from today's youth. Lets be honest though, the forces have been hurting for recruits for a long time now and any youth that meets the eligibility requirements and wants to join the Reg F or Res F will likely get picked up. All...

    Bringing back "Double Dipping"

    I also do not understand what the big deal about double dipping, it's a win-win for the CAF and the member. Scenario 1: I retire at age 25 collect my 50% pension and then go work at Home Depot for $17 instead of being hired to fill an open reservist position on base. Result: CAF pays out my...

    Air Combat Systems Officer ( ACSO )

    Haha that's why I got boots with zippers :P.... I'm hoping to get on an ACSO course beginning in 2019 and completing all prerequisite courses between now and then. This may be a bit optimistic on my part but I think its definitely possible if there isn't a back log for the ACSO and pre-req...

    Air Combat Systems Officer ( ACSO )

    Hey Guy, How long after BMOQ did it take you to complete all the prerequisite courses you mentioned and begin your ACSO Course? I'll be transferring to my local BTL in July and then I will begin doing all those courses (I bypassed BMOQ). It would be great to have an idea how long I could expect...

    Air Combat Systems Officer ( ACSO )

    I'm hoping that while I'm on BTL they will send me to Trenton to do some OJE but if I do end up sitting around for any length of time I'll definately consider the DL (that's assuming I'm given the option), although I'd prob prefer to get it over with in a week residentialy.

    Ok great thanks for all of the info and the pictures too, it's much appreciated! BEW is a prerequisite according to the ACSO TP I was able to find, I dont think it's the new TP though....

    Air Combat Systems Officer ( ACSO )

    Ok thanks! With that being said, what is a good time to take the course? I'd prefer cold over mosquitoes, but not sure where the AOS-L is conducted nor when the mosquitoes disappear for the winter in that area lol

    Air Combat Systems Officer ( ACSO )

    Hey guys, Can you confirm which courses are prerequisites for loading the ACSO Course? Right now I'm tracking AMT Initial Aircrew, sea survival, basic EW, and BSERE (is this AOS-L, or AOS-SERE, or neither?) Thanks

    Air Combat Systems Officer ( ACSO )

    Ok great thanks! What about the shorter pre requisite courses? (sere/aero med/etc) do they all line up back-to-back or would I have to travel back 2 Winnipeg / Comox for each different course?

    Air Combat Systems Officer ( ACSO )

    Well I'm Airforce so there wouldn't be an element change and I'm posted close to Trenton, so hopefully I could go to a unit there and do some OJE prior to course. I'm just not sure how much of a backlog if any there currently is for the new ACSO course?

    Air Combat Systems Officer ( ACSO )

    Just a question for any career status (VOT/UTPNCM/SCP/ETC) ACSOs that are currently awaiting their ACSO course... do they allow you to stay at your local BTL (closest to where your family resides) until the beginning of your ACSO course? Or do you have to go to Winnipeg right away upon transfer...

    Re: CEOTP 2019

    Has anyone who applied for CEOTP this year asked their BPSO lately when the CEOTP offers are expected to be released? I would ask for an update but I already asked my PSO a few weeks ago and I dont want to bug them again :)

    University Training Plan NCM (UTPNCM) 2019

    ACIMS is a web based organizational tool similar to share point, msgs addressed to personal in the unit end up in a group box on ACIMS. A previous poster did say that they are sending msgs directly to members so checking both might be overkill anyway.

    University Training Plan NCM (UTPNCM) 2019

    Yea I hear ya! So on that msg page(if ACIMS) you should be able to go to the top and set an alert. It will send you an email whenever any new messages are added to the list, that way all you need to do is watch your email lol
