Doubt they'll let you do it anywhere else.  You'll be waiting longer if they allowed it, cause it takes forever to send paper work from one place to another and back again.  I guess it doesn't hurt to ask though.. Just make sure to ask if you can hand deliver any documents they would have...

Got the blueprints but CFHA said they didn't have any pictures of my Q.  I'm trying to get someone down there to walk over and take some dig-pics and send them my way. Cheers

I'm wondering if anyone lives or lived in the rowhouse PMQ's (M433 models) and if they could give me any insight to them.  I can't take a DIT and neither can my wife, so any info will help us get a better idea as to what we're moving in to.  She's not used to accepting offers for homes she...

When I dropped off my application, they were able to tell me if I was eligible for the new trade the very same day.  In fact, the recruiter was able to check the archives on the spot, so I never had to wait for a call.  Getting my pers file from my old unit was quick enough, as I made sure to...

I agree with the Pres idea, you still serve..sorta, and you are subsidized by your unit.  They pay up to 8000 I think.  Another idea if you really want to go reg, but don't want to throw school out the window, is to do the whole ROTP thing.  You go to Kingston and get a degree; not to mention a...

-What about a free education? Not to mention being paid while attending, with a guaranteed apprenticeship and a job right after! -I don't know about you guys, but I can't cook if my life depended on it; so definitely the mess halls/galleys.. -Getting to play with expensive things. -I still get a...

Will those just going in as AVN techs still be eligible for FE once they're qualifed even though they're starting up this DE thing?  Kinda like ROTP and DEO I'm assuming...right ??? ok...what's a zoomie?  ;D

Right on!  I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who wants to sail, and more specifically out on the west coast!  I'm hoping to be out there for longer than not, that is, if I even get out there in the first place.  Just can't beat BC, so here's hoping! Good luck and keep us posted, I'll do the...

Hey guys, can you clarify what OP, MH (I'm assuming Maritime/Marine Helicopter) and BANC stand for? Also, let's say I get into the 'MH' community, will I be locked in to working with Cyclones and Seakings only? Thanks p.s. Dimsum, when are you starting your course and which trade specifically?

Good news.. Finally got the transfer for AVN.  In Borden mid-March!  Best thing is that the day before I leave, I get to attend my previous unit's mess dinner but in an Air Force get up.  lol, any traditions I should know about?

Was he coming from another AF Trade?  I ask because, as we all know, sometimes it's good to know someone on the inside.  And I also know that if, for example, you have a RMS Res going RMS Reg, the transfer is reallly quick.  But for some reason, once you start changing elements it begins to lag...

That means there is a new course starting every 2 weeks?  That's pretty frequent.  But 100 people on PAT for AVN?  No wonder things take forever...  What probably happens is that the recruits go directly to PAT once there BMQ is done.  So the numbers stay pretty high as long as there's a steady...

Wow, that's quite the story.  Don't they have a French course that you could have attended?  I knew that they were going through some trial periods with the new course and a lot of it was screwing the pooch for the most part.  I'm really sorry to hear that.  I hope everything works out for you. ...

Of course I have a question.. Why aren't you AVN anymore!! ;D

Awesome, thanks for the tip.  I'll get on that asap.

Did they have you join the PAT Platoon?  Or are you starting your course soon?

I'm waiting on a transfer too (Naval Res to Reg AF), I'm going in as an AVN Tech and was wondering if anyone knew when the courses for that trade were starting?  I was told that they would be starting some time in September because of the basic training courses finishing a little before that. ...

Absolutely, I couldn't agree more.  Was kind of a giddy question I suppose.  I've got a Class B contract lined up for the new year already.  I'd rather not have to do basic all over again, but if they say I have to then so be it.  How long after your interview had they called you to sign? 

OK guys/gals, it's all done!  I appreciate everything you've added to the post as it helped me make up my mind and convince those who interviewed me that I'm the right kind of stuff for AVN.  I've got everything done for the CT.  I was 'Highly Recommended".. I like that.  I was also told that I...

Right on, glad to hear it.  In essence, I could keep volunteering and have no problem sticking around Pat Bay/Shearwater.  When should I make it obvious I want to work on ship-borne aircraft?  I read somewhere that it's 60/40 AVN/AVS that sail; but seeing as the pickings are slim, I should'nt...
