Hey everyone, I've been creeping on these forums for the past week out of curiosity and decided to pitch in. I'll keep this updated as things go.
21, been working full time the past two years, also run my own business in Montreal's south shore, but Civvy life ain't for me. I don't want to spend my life just working for money, I'm looking for something more. I want to experience life in the Forces, as well as getting an outstanding education and a university degree.
And yeah, the forces.ca site has been taunting me terribly over the past few months with their ''Wanted: Pilots'' front-page news... even though from what I've seen it's not exactly the most available job.
Nevertheless, I'd love just as much (if not, more? ) to be a Combat Arms officer.
Cheers to all!

So, my interview was delayed 3 weeks until the new year, which is perfectly fine with me.  Gives me more time to research and understand more about my trades and the CF/Air Force in general.

During my initial medical exam, I confirmed that v2 is good enough for pilots now.  Which is great for me.  I am 6/6 left and 6/7.5 right eye so I was a bit worried.  The med tech confirmed v2 is acceptable.

Also, the medical requires me to go get a number of urine and blood tests, an ECG, an X-ray and a full eye exam.  I am compensated for the eye exam, and the rest is covered by OHIP so there should be no cost.  I like that they do this.  It forces you to visit a doctor, have him order the tests, go get them done, wait at least a week to receive results, then fax then or drop them off at the CFRMC. That process will further ensure only serious applicants are going through the hoops that are required.

Interesting. I didn't have to do an X-ray as part of my aircrew medical. I'm assuming you've previously broken a bone or something along those lines?

 

[Noctis]

Same here. I only needed to get my blood and urine sampled this week for glycemia and such as well as go to the opto yesterday (came out 6/4.5 on both eyes, though I'm a bit far-sighted -- I'll need glasses later in my life to read )

Only in my foot.  I didn't think it was out of the ordinary, but from all the differing accounts on here, who's to say what's ordinary?

I am still eagerly waiting for a job offer, and am hoping that I will hear back before Christmas so that I can start basic in January. Quick question for anyone who knows, will the recruiters contact me by phone or mail if I am offered a position? Just wondering so Im not running to the post office everyday if they will contact me by phone!

 

[Noctis]

The recruiters will attempt to contact you by phone first.  If phone fails, then they will send you an offer by mail.  You must accept the offer within 10 days if I recall.  Make sure you got voicemail at home. If in doubt call your CFRC to get an update on your application.
