The BPSO told me the marks aren't sent to Ottawa until 29 JAN 2021, and then the board will sit and confirm the applicants' files are complete before sending out offers, so I would expect offers to be sent between March/April. Good job finishing your last exam! Best of luck to you.

I hope everyone enjoys their Christmas Leave! I still have a few days of studying, a Marketing Report, final exam, and Business Ethics essay. Then let the waiting begin!

Would the F35 giving Canadians jobs go towards GDP or GNP? Are these Canadians living in Canada? Also, selecting the Gripen E would allow Canadians to have information on the technology and develop possible future aircraft of our own, no? Also, more say in upgrades given we'll be the biggest...

My wife never saw Star Wars. Her first film was Rogue One (maybe not the go-to Star Wars film for a first) and she wasn't impressed. I immediately though "my goodness, that 'How I Met Your Mother' episode was right!"

I became a Christian 6 years ago after joining the military, and I'd like to share my thoughts on the topic. Before putting my faith in Christ, in the military, we would say the 'Engineer Prayer'. I never thought anything about it. To the non-believer, it's just words (Edit: when I was a...

So all Griffon Pilots still have qualifications they have to achieve at their official unit (408, 427, 430, etc.). There are pilots at these units who are able to assess them. Pilots who go to 427 though would have some different training on top of what would be “normal” training at their...

SeaKingTacco is correct. There are always a couple guys/gals on their TAFO course at 403 in their multicam uniforms but have yet to step foot at 427.

There's a lot of factors that go into it, but here are my results. 20m rush: 29.7 Sandbag Lift: 45.2 Intermittent Loaded Shuttles: 2:17.1 Sandbag Drag: 12.3 I achieved Silver for these results. If my drag was 0.2 seconds faster it would have been enough for Gold. Just to give you an idea if...

Thanks for sharing GSD. I heard similarly from the PSO that my CFAT was my 'weakness' but they heard they do consider the CFAST. How much, I'm not sure. I scored 38th Percentile for Officers. I'm hoping they look at the CFAST. If they want successful Pilots during Flight Training, that would...

Hey Junker. First, CEOTP-Pilot at Seneca isn't continuing I believe. One reason programs like that, as well as DEO, are cutting on numbers or stopping all together is because those candidates begin flight training almost immediately which increases the amount of pilots awaiting training...

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted already, but Brigadier-General (Ret) Charles S. “Duff” Sullivan, Managing Director Boeing Canada, wrote an article titled "Block III Super Hornet – Canada’s Next Generation Fighter Capability for the 21st Century". Even though he works with Boeing it's...

I've been trying to track the Strategic Intake Plan to see if it's been released for the 21/22 numbers, but I haven't been able to find it yet. The amount of time folks had to apply this year was a lot shorter. Last year we had between May and October, this year July and September. Could work...

I wonder how Boeing's offer comparison to SAAB's offer in economic benefits.

Hey there, So the BPSO said my Aircrew medical from last December which gave me an Air Factor A1 is valid. On another note, I have 2 out of 4 courses now finished and working on the final two! Still impatiently waiting on the Strategic Intake Plan for 21/22.

Pilot (UTPNCM & CEOTP)

I'm sure someone can answer better than I can, but I'll try. You're score is based on whether you're applying for NCM or Officer. I scored 78th percentile for NCM (my score was better than 78% of people applying for NCM trades) but my score was 38th percentile for Officer (I scored better...

The F35 would be awesome. Tbh, I'll be happy with whichever fighter Canada goes with.

Not sure if this will leverage anything for SAAB now, or if this was already in place when they submitted their 'bid'. Am I the only one who's beginning to warm up to having the Gripen as Canada's future fighter?

I was just told that my file has moved to "Ready for Competition" for the selection board held in Dec/Jan.

Interview is done! I got an email from the BPSO admin asking me which 3 dates work best for Aircrew Medical, but I've already received and Air Factor of A1 in January, so they're looking into that. Other than that, still working on my final 3 university courses which have to be completed by...
