I think it all depends on how busy they are, how much they need pilots, and what the training backlog looks like.  For example, I did my DRDC medicals on April 19, and on April 27 I got an offer to attend BMOQ beginning April 30.  So 8 days in my case.  3 people from my aircrew group swore in on...

Yes & yes. By far the toughest decision in my 30 year life. But I'm proud I made it that far and made some good friends at ASC.

FWIW, I was on Aircrew Selection with a guy who had a psych degree, had no previous flying experience and he made it through and is on BMOQ as we speak. Also, I have  Mechanical Engineering degree with a 2.98gpa (not fantastic), and had an 80% avg in high school.  I got an offer in April for...

Yes, I guess that's my real question here - is OJT in Saskatoon possible.  I'm planning on asking the RC, but I don't know if they'll be able to tell me that. Thanks for your replies.

Thanks estoguy. There sure doesn't seem to be a shortage of what you can do on OJT/OJE, but I'm still curious if anyone knows whether Saskatoon or Dundurn is even an option for OJT/OJE. I realize the military puts you where they need you, I was just under the impression that OJT/OJE was more...

I have a question regarding OJT:  I just got back from aircrew selection (passed for Pilot and AEC) and am curious about where I could be headed for OJT following BMOQ, should I receive an offer of course.  I live close to Saskatoon which has a recruiting center and I believe a couple of Reserve...

I BELIEVE it's more for AEC and ACSO's.  Although it's never a bad idea considering there could be more aptitude testing coming our way (only my suspicion).  That being said, I haven't brushed up on any math yet and I'm a little concerned that it may come to haunt me.  I have all day tomorrow to...

Getting my study guide tonight.  Also my wife is going to bring me home a gr 10 & 11 math textbook from her school so I can review.  Other than that, might practice some instrument flying in flight simulator to work on my scan.  Wish me luck!

Got my dates today for aircrew today - April 16-20.  I'm VERY excited and very nervous.  Going to the RC tomorrow to pickup my study guide.

Got my dates for aircrew selection...I'm giddy as a school girl.

Good to know.  I realize that the CAPSS does not "fly" like an airplane and is a selection tool.  I hope what I can bring into the CAPSS is a decent instrument scan and knowledge of the instruments.

Thanks, I am very excited and nervous.  I have a private pilots license so I think this will probably be my only shot at ASC since I don't think I could afford to get my commercial license just to re-do ASC. And yes, I am applying for direct entry.

Thanks for the info and congratulations.  Good luck with the offer!

Just wondering how ASC went for both of you (nic32 & jpr)?  My RC is trying to schedule me in for mid-April and I can't wait to find out what dates I'm going.

If you browse jobs on forces.ca, there will be a check mark beside any trades that are accepting applications.  I can't say whether individual RC's will still accept applications if they aren't listed as accepting applications on the Forces website.

I don't know that officially, but many people on here have said that, and I also talked with a girl who failed aircrew and that's what they told her.

Well since 2008 actually, but after my file was closed the first time I thought that was my one and only chance.  Back then I didn't get to go to aircrew because of my eyes...I basically got ruled out at the local medical stage.  But alas, I have hope again and will wait however long I have to...

I originally applied in 2008 at the Saskatoon RC, did CFAT, interview & medical, but my uncorrected vision wasn't good enough so my file got closed.  I had laser eye surgery done in Dec 2009 then I re-applied at the Edmonton RC in April 2010 and re-did interview and medical in June.  I was told...
