    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    6 on 11, not so bad. Congrat, it was not an easy task. I don't think I will try again. The waiting time to get on PFT (1 year) + all the following waiting make me reconsider this trade (the result of my test helps too!). I think I will receive an offer for ACSO anytime soon and will have to make...

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    Hello Sharpie and HeadInTheClouds! So how well have you done? As you may know I failed and had to leave pretty quick to get my train at 11:00. I wonder how many of us (we were 11 I think) have passed/failed. Have you talked with few others to know? Thank you for the info. Dombi

    "So You Want To Be A Pilot" Merged Thread 2002 - 2018

    Hi there! I don't think there's much we can do beside reading the manual. I am from Montreal and applied for Pilot (Direct Entry) last August. I hold a PPL since 2001 but I have only 60 hours in my logbook. Do you have some experience in piloting ? I will take the train here around 10:00am on...

    Can someone tell me what this means in plain english!

    Thank you very much for the correction. I am francophone and try to write as well as I can in english. Since you understood what I meant I think I am doing not so bad. If everyone helps me like you did my english will soon be good for a "B" grade in the CF! Have a nice day.

    Can someone tell me what this means in plain english!

    I have the same question and herd the same thing. What if I get in with DEO ? Will I get back pay for the difference of OCdt and 2nd Lt. after BMOQ ?

    Maman dans l'armee?

    A-t-on besoin d'être très "fluent" pour éviter les cours de langue seconde ? Je parle, écrit et comprends très bien l'anglais mais il m'arrive d'avoir des hésitations, et des fautes dans les temps, etc. Sans parler de mon accent  :) J'ai déjà suivi quelques cours universitaires en anglais...

    Maman dans l'armee?

    Voilà le petit bout qu'il me manquait. Merci. Est-ce qu'il y a moyen d'aller plus rapidement si on met des efforts supplémentaires et qu'on a de la facilité ou est-ce des cours de groupe et on doit suivre le groupe donc impossible d'accélérer le rythme ? Donc je peux passer facilement 2 ans...

    Maman dans l'armee?

    Merci pour l'info. Je n'étais pas au courant de ce détail administratif. Donc c'est possiblement 13 ans d'élève officier à major et ensuite 12 ans de Lt. Col à Général. Je comprends qu'un tour équivaut à environ 2 ans mais ca veut dire quoi au juste ? C'est une affectation ? Est-ce comme un...

    Maman dans l'armee?

    Bonjour, Désolé d'entrer dans la discussion mais je suis surpris de voir la phrase ci-haut. Je suis présentement dans le processus de recrutement pour ACSO et j'ai 35 ans. Je me suis informé à des officiers actuellement en service et leur ai demandé  jusqu'à quel grade je pourrais théoriquement...

    number of positions available? And, any advice for the new girl?

    I am glad to see other "old man" applying. I am 35 and dropped my application in August. My medical papers are in Borden now and my RC (Montreal) awaits the doctor to approve my stuff. If everything goes well, I should have my interview in December. I run and exercice daily too. We will have to...

    Am I too old, fat, or fit in? 2001 to 2016

    If I join at 35 as ACSO or Signals O, (this is what I hope will happen soon) my chances of getting Major or Lt. Col. are reduced ? Does my MBA can count for something in the promotion system and helps me in getting higher ranks ? Thanks

    Air Combat Systems Officer ( ACSO )

    Hi there, I have applied in August for ACSO. Everything is going well. My medical is at Borden waiting for that doctor to sign my files. While waiting, my girlfriend begun to be scared about me joining in. I am looking for information that may reassure her. Anyone knows the average length of an...

    Update on Current Requirements for Joining the CF and open Direct Entry Trades

    I am a bit lost now. I went to my CFRC a month ago. I wanted to be a Pilot (I hold a private licence). I filled an application for ACSO, PILOT and CAERO since I couldn't put Pilot has my first choice. I got an appointment to do the CFAT. At that time I saw on my application that they took off my...
