Re: No I didn’t realize that. The information I have regarding Basic Training dates comes from the Master Corporal in charge of recruitment for the 723 (Halifax) Communications Squadron. As for duration of training, you’re right - I thought it was shorter. I’ll have to ask the Master Corporal...

How about this angle? Any chance he could do his Basic Training on the weekends as an Infantry OCdt and then transfer to the Communication Squadron afterward? I hear Infantry can do their training on the weekends, so not making it to Basic for the summer isn’t so important?? Also, I think they...

Hello, I have been offered a position in the Army as a Signals Officer. Like many others I am trying to put together a picture of how my career would likely evolve should I accept. I have spent hours reading through army.ca and I have found a post by JcPrime that asks many of the same questions...

Quick update: I've just received my official offer and Basic Training won't start for me until January 10th, so I guess I have some more time to think on it â “ thank goodness! My gut feeling is that the Army would be good for me, I just want to make my decision as informed as possible. Dave

Hi there. I have recently been informed that I will be offered a position in the Army as a Signals Officer. My first choice was CELE but I'm told at the recruitment office that they are the same thing, and I've noted that when I view the online recruitment video for Signals Officer it is...

Looks like I might get to ASC in June â “ that would be great news for me! Torlyn (or anyone else applicable), it would be great to hear about your experience at ASC once you get back, so I really hope you post again  ;D. Dave

>If you think waiting a month for a medical is bad, talk to a pilot graduating RMC this year.  They've just been told >that they'll have to wait till 2007 before they go to Moose Jaw. That's quite a long wait â “ any idea why?

Gee thanks! That's really good information! Much appreciated! Maybe I really won't have to wait for Fall!  :)

>The ASC course schedule is much more frequent then that...  They seem to be running them once a week, every >week, all year round.  (I'm waiting for my medical to get back to Calgary from Borden so I can go do my CFASC in >Trenton...  Ah, hurry up and wait!) Here's what I've been told...

Carpediem, Thank you very much for your prompt response! I have the Candidate Study Guide now and I have already read it several times - just can't help it! :) One more thing if I may ... there is a lot of talk regarding math and physics aptitude. I have that background to some extent, but I...

Hi Carpediem (or anyone who knows!). It looks like I will be going to the ASC week this fall (I would have been going in March but I received a funky blood test result that will take a few months to resolve). Could you tell me what month you went to ASC? Have you flown a real plane and if so how...

I applied for DEO Pilot back in July â “ bugged the recruitment office on a regular basis and still didn't get my medical until January (so 1 month sounds good to me!). Now I've found out that I have slightly high cholesterol which will take a few months to put right. If they hadn't taken so...

In case anyone is interested, I spoke with my doctor at the recruitment office and she told me that all I have to do is get my cholesterol down to an acceptable level through proper diet. That should only take 3 or 4 months, unfortunately for me I will miss â Å“Air Crew Selectionâ ? this March...

I have applied to join the Air Force, specifically first choice Pilot, second choice Communication and Electronics Engineer. I hope its okay to post here - I expect at this point the process is the same for all. My paper work was just about to be sent off to a review board when it was...
