Hey there!
Found this forum to be super helpful in making some decisions, lots of great advice here!
I'm finishing up my application for ROTP (Pilot, ACSO, Aerospace Control), and am thinking of going to St. Jean for the prep year, instead of going straight to Kingston. Now, since I'm a bit older than most applicant are (I'm 28), would my age be an advantage for me or not? Are there a few older students like me in the same situation out there?
I'm wanting to go to St. Jean because I've been out of school for a few years, and think it'll be a great way to get back up to snuff.
Oh a bit of background info, my grades in highschool were about a C average, played rugby for 11 years, did a year of living in New Zealand, went to a flight school and obtained my Commercial Helicopter License, did a Mountain course, Group IV IFR rating, 194 hours flight time.
Been interested in the military for a long time, and having tried to get into the civilian aviation industry for a few years (which is getting kinda ridiculous!), decided that maybe I'd take a closer look at the opportunities in the Canadian Forces.
Thanks for any help, big or small, that anyone can provide.
Cheers!
