Just got enrolled as an AESOP and my wife had some questions and I wasn't sure of the answers.
congrats!
1-After BMQ, will it be possible to live with my wife on base or near the base where my basic occupational qualification training (24 weeks in Winnipeg) and specialty training (24 weeks in Shearwater) or will she have to find an appartment by herself off-base?
Eagle Eye View is a current AES Op instructor in Winnipeg, hopefully he will be along to cover the current 'way of doing things' in Winnipeg.
Ref the part about the 'specialty training' in Shearwater...did you already get told you would be going Maritime Helicopter? If so...unusual.
It might (must?) have changed some from when I went thru CFANS/1 CFFTS/402 Sqn based on what Ditch posted. Direct entry AES Op - Jr's were posted to Winnipeg but didn't get a cost move of their D HG and E (Dependant, Household Goods and Effects) until after they had completed both the QL3 (BAQC) and QL5 (IAQC) courses, were Wings grad AES Ops and then were proceeding to their first posting to (usually) Greenwood, Shearwater, Comox or Pats Bay. Upon graduation of the QL5 IAQC, people were told where they were posted and received their posting message shortly thereafter.
2- Is there a delay between BMQ and the other Training?
Rather than re-stating a bunch of stuff...lots of good info already in this thread.

3-If possible, what to I have to do to be able to live together? What are the delays to get a DND logding unit?
Thanks
Delays in getting a PMQ when you are posted could be if there are any units available, when you are 'posted' with a cost move (usually not until you have attained "Career Status" and aren't restricted from moving your D HG & E. Career Status for NCMs is defined at the link below.

Mods, perhaps a merge with the Aesop (MOC 081) thread?
