From viewing the NCM trades on the CF website, are there any that catch your eye or appeal to you?  I think every applicant to the CF (whether they are going Officer route or NCM route) have maybe one or two trades in the other stream that catch their eye.  I would agree that it makes good...

Just trying to figure things out, exploring options, learn, seeing what’s available. I was told by a recruiter today that 10 DEO MARS spots are available nationally. Hopefully that gives you ‘some’ sort of hope.  That's what I was told, but he also said numbers (can) change daily. Was told...

Hi, SK, what other 2 choices did you put down (if it’s not a secret)? Pilot I’ve been told is the toughest trade to get (in general), and this year MARS appears to be completely blocked despite previous talks/rumours of navy personnel shortages.  Sigil, You are right, it’s hard to know what...

Wow!!  It's shocking how slim the pickings are. This is bad and very discouraging;  The lack of opportunities is very surprising. Ok, SK and others who are merit listed, what offers did your recruiters give you?  From my understanding, your file can't be open indefinitely.  Did they say if they...

Thanks for the contributions. Well it’s good to hear that a finger just isn’t pointed towards the salad bar and that efforts are made.  If that’s the case (only medically related dietary options protected by regulation) then I would definitely imagine there would be (has to be) many...

Great question.  Of all organizations, I would hope/imagine that the armed forces would be the most serious about putting good quality, low sodium/low fat, and nutritious food into their people.  Otherwise what kind of fighting force does one expect?  Please tell me that is the case.  On...

Congratulations on your job offer! But what do you mean “regarding [the] cost of room and board at CFASCO”? Uhhh, unless I’m missing something, doesn’t the CF cover the cost of the room and board and also pay you while training?  Isn’t that the deal?  Isn’t that why they ask you to sign a...

Thank you for the replies. In regards to the french, doesn’t knowing how to speak the 2nd official language indeed help you in attaining the rank of Major?  Just been hearing different stuff in regards to 2nd language training for CF officers (some getting to it very early on and others later). ...

Formulasteel: Ok, how do you know you are going weapons before you’ve even set foot in Cornwall at the NavCanada facility?  Don’t you do the course in Cornwall, and THEN decide (or have your instructors decide based on your in-class performance)? Waiting 1 YEAR from time of BMOQ to Cornwall...

I am not a recruiter, but it is my understanding that the min. initial contract requirement for Log Officer (DEO) is 6 years.  :christmas happy:

Hi airmich, Thanks for the tips, and again for being the 1st to respond to my questions. As far as the recruiting centres go, I”ve been a few times, but I have yet to see an Air Force person on the front lines dealing with people, answering questions, etc.  It’s mostly Army  :soldier:  :fifty...

Hi Mr. Wallace: Yes, there are AEC threads, and only one very faint reference to AEC math that I could find here: http://forums.milnet.ca/forums/threads/68321/post-790883#msg790883 I just wanted to expand on that particular aspect a little more, that’s all. Overall, this forum has proved to...

Thanks airmich. If any AEC's on here can please comment on how things are on their side, that would be fantastic!  How's the math/physics with your trade, and what kind of tips can you offer in order for a person to successfully complete the training in Cornwall? Thank you!
