Thanks. That helps with the decision on what to bring with me.

Being posted to home unit while awaiting training shouldn't be a problem. I've seen it done multiple time before. However now the course will be roughly 6/7 months long. Also be aware if you want to go MH, 406 SQN is closing doors this summer for OTU. If they start a cyclone OTU this summer is only speculation; it's anybody guess when they'll start Cyclone OTU.

I'm not worried about once I start training...we're prepared for that. It's the time beforehand we are hoping for. Looks like it's getting ironed out now.

If I had a preference it'd be LRP....but I know I'll likely just have to take what I'm given.

Are there Single Quarters available on most wings where junior AES Ops would find themselves posted? Thanks

 

[Eagle_Eye_View]

Yes, I believe most if not all Wings have single quarters available.

 

[TUNETOG]

Yes, I believe most if not all Wings have single quarters available.

OK, so then I have to ask. Double or quad quarters on course? Not that it matters that much.

It's the RCAF. Single rooms with turndown service and HBO.

I didn't want to assume anything for course though.

Shearwater and Greenwood for sure.  I've stayed in Transient shacks in Comox, but I'm going to 'guess' you could get SQs in Esquimalt if you got posted to 443?

And, if an Ottawa posting came someone's way, I don't believe there are SQs there; I recall reading about a Self Help program in the NCR but don't know enough about it to say anymore than that...

I don't know if I'll be able to live under such conditions. But you did yours a while ago right? So I'm sure things have improved.  [

Its a hard life, but someone has to do it. I salute you for taking one for the team.    ;D

Well, Greenwood's cable in the shacks are all being turned off in a week while they (hopefully) sort out a new agreement with the cable provider.

Yup, I was a while ago, when the Direct Entry trial was just getting going.  For our 3s, we were 2 to a room [that had a TV with cable, full bathroom, etc...so no *hardship* there] and then on the 5s [flying phase] we had a room all to ourselves.
