Hello everyone. I just found out I'm going to be COT'd to AVN Tech. This pleases me greatly. Fortunately I have some friends who've already transitioned to the blue side so I can gather intel on course life and Air Force Life in certain places in Canada. I checked out the CFSATE DIN site and...

Just found out that only AVN is open right around now. So my choice is made for me. Now it's all a waiting game. Be prepared for a flood of question posts while I become unhinged at the prospect of being a DP1 student again (j/k) In all seriousness, you guys who offer good advice and answer...

Hey guys, Fantastic info. I really appreciate the help and will most likely ass all this to my thought process when it comes to requesting one. Now all I can do is hope that either trade are available and open when I go in for my interview. Cheers!

Good day all, I've been cruising this forum since I found out I will be getting Medically COT'd. Lots of great information on here. MY BPSO interview is on the 28th and i'm still torn between AVN and ACS. I've spoken to some dudes I know in either one and they are both appealing and suit my...

Hello all, After a cursory search, I couldn't find any info pertaining to my question so I figured I'd ask. Background: Due to a chronic injury, I was placed on PCAT which put me out of current trade specs (crewman) but left me available to stay in the forces. Everything came back from D Med...

Hello everyone, I've been trying to seek out to learn from experience from those who have been in the military (more specifically, the combat arms) and then went off to attend school post-release. Background: It's looking like, since my knees are falling apart, that after 12 years in the army...

Thanks for the reply. Please forgive the lateness of my update. The OR basically told me to pound sand and to get a kit list and POC and joining instructions. So, I went searching. At first I got a hold of the clerk at the Armour school, who told me she could not help me. Instead, she referred...

Good day all,                   Just got my message for Armoured DP1 starting on 03 Nov 08 until 25 Feb 08. I was just curious to see if anyone would be so kind as to e-mail me a course kit list. The reason for it is for me to weigh against what I have in my possession VS. what has been...

Maybe it's just mermaids shedding their baby feet?

I have searched and asked knowledgeable people, but have yet to get a straightforward answer. I was hoping one of you might be able to help out. Do I show up for DP1 with a black beret and Armoured cap badge (or possibly cornflake), or do I keep my Jimmy cap badge and green beretfrom my old...

I re-read my original post a couple of times and still can't figure out where people can see any kind of "attitude"? Maybe pointing it out to me will help me clarify. As for the ref to Sig Stores, it is a very lowly position where I am from, and they usually shove the broken/useless people or...

So, my remuster is effective 14 jul 08, and I have a few questions. 1. What are the course dates for the next few months? 2.Who would I contact for course loadings? 3. Is it completely unrealistic to ask for a posting in Gagetown?  I have a sigs background, so I was curious if I could be a...

I was just curious to see if anyone who frequents this forum would  have any information on when the Selection board for the reg force Armoured trade is going to meet? All info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Not much going on right now. The OT is in Borden and I have no general clue as to when the messages are coming out on acceptance or denials. Guess I'll just sit tight and wait out. I was told March 1st was when the board was starting, but no timeline on when it is concluded. And by the way...
