Is that for any CF Pilot or does that take: into consideration?

Ah, my mistake on the spelling. Another thing, how long is the initial contract as a pilot, and how long would any further contracts be? Is it a variable that you can decide? Or is it something set in stone, that after your initial contract is up, and you want to stay longer, you have to stay...

Well, a more detailed question relating to that, what does a TacHel pilot do? Which kind of pilots are responsible for flying the Chinooks? Are Griffins being used anywhere outside of Canada (other than with the SF iirc)

Ah, well that clears A LOT of things up for me, about being a pilot within the CF, thank you very much for that. I never knew it went like that to be honest. AS for the UK, I've talked with a few UK recruiters about it and you can join their Army (Certain trades that don't require a period of 5...

Yes, you're right, I believe Armies tend to have attack helicopters rather than transport types, such as the US Army with their Apaches, or the UK Army Air Corps with their Apaches as well. Here's another question, let's say a pilot was chosen to train as a Rotorwing pilot, if that's the...

Ah, thank you. Is there any particular reason why Helicopters don't fall under the Army, like in other western militaries?

Well, as I'm going to be going into Uni soon, I've been looking at alternative careers, primarily within the CF. Is any preference from the prospective candidate taken into consideration? I've never really been a fan of the CF18 or any fighter jets, have always liked Helicopters, but it seems...

Well, I kind of missed the boat on starting the app process and I now have to wait for the Inf/Armoured units to start hiring again in April, I'll be heading over to the CFRC to get my app this week, but does this mean I'm going to/should be applying to several units at once? If I apply to the...

I'm going through something similar, they told me to go over to the CFRC and start my app, and that they'll be 'hiring' again in April, the person I talked to at the CFRC told me that they're still going to be trying to get those applicants into summer BMQ but it might be tight, though in your...

Ah, alright. Speaking of the reserves, I've read that all of the combat arms trades are full, does this apply across Reserve and Regular? Or is it just for Regular? When doing my application I was going to have Armoured Soldier, Infantry and Combat Engineer as my three trade choices, and those...

Got a quick question: Say you attempted to pass selection and for whatever reason you failed, from what I've read they don't hand out second tries too readily, but would that affect your attempt to enter a selection process for the CSOR or similar?

Hey, thank you guys very much for all the info, clearing up a lot of things and giving me quite a bit of insight on a potential career. One thing I'm still wondering is, are there any general physical size limitations/guidelines? As I said before, in another thread I read that you wouldn't be...

I should have said that differently, I assumed that you would understand that 'Armoured career' implies being in regular force, I would be switching over to regular force after spending time in the reserves while I'm going through school (post secondary). I understand that I wont see anything...

Hey, since having decided to go the Armoured reserve route, I was wondering a few more things. I did a search beforehand and could only come up with one thing (reserve recruiter couldn't help me with this either) but what are the chances of ever being assigned to a Leopard in an Armoured career...

Hello, let me begin with saying that I have searched the forums for information, and contacted local recruiters about it as well. Basically, I've been the minimum age required to join a reserve unit for a while now, I've known that I wanted to get into the CF/Reserves for a long time now, but...
