Sure, Capt. I am just curious. I am not against staying in the position i am in for another year and deferring til Dec. Im on vacay for several weeks and have no dwan access or else i would just look it up.

Good Day, I am being told that there is a chance that i will be forced to defer a promotion  and not be posted due to trouble finding someone to fill my current position. Anyone know the policy surrounding this? Vr Xbow

All of the ACOPs I have worked with tend to like the tower better. Im in Greenwood right now and the ACOPs tend to cross qualify within a year. Im not sure about how things are run in YMJ. Enjoy Checkout!

Anyone have anything concrete on this either way?

The course was challenging but went pretty smoothly. Unit checkout wasn't as stressful as I expected, but with that said you will probably be able to guess where I am posted :)

Just finished up in Cornwall completing the IFR course and have been qualified for a couple months. If you have any pre-course questions about what to expect, daily routine, how to make the most of your OJT etc., feel free to ask away!

I just talked to a friend who got 5 days on Mar 29th and had to take leave from 29-mar to 3-apr so he would have no new leave in the next FY. However after looking at the Leave Manual I would have to side with Occam on my interpretation of the rules. The consensus seems to be that my enrolment...

My enrolment was 30-Mar-2009. I know Im getting a little ahead of myself but I was just curious what would happen seeing how my enrolment date is a day before the end of the fiscal year. If I were to get the 5 days on the 30th, would I be allowed to carry it into the next year or even put up a...

Thanks for the response. I was hoping it was based on enrolment date but makes sense that it is the first day of basic.

Ater the initial 6 weeks or so when we got our electronics, we were encouraged to take pics as long as we did so at appropriate times. IE don't pull out a camera and take a video of the Sgt jacking you up. I have easily over 1000 pics between my cam and course mates pics that we shared.

In regards to receiving 5 extra days of leave, is 5 years of service complete starting on date of enrolment or first day of basic training? I was under the impression that retirement date was based on enrolment and that I had paid back on my pension the LWOP days between enrolment and start of...

Hello All, I was wondering if anyone has info regarding an apparent CANFORGEN that was released some time ago regarding MOC course recourses now deferring promotion time. Thanks!

The rumour going around our office is that the "core" phase will be reimplemented as part of the training system for AEC. This system sees students partake in a few weeks of AEC training encompassing all three streams. At the end of the phase, you submit your stream selection but your placement...

The following answers should be fairly accurate: It depends on the stream you want. Weapons isn't currently loading courses because the trade is full. This isn't to say they don’t start loading courses soon. My guess would be mid fall. There is a minimum number however there doesn't seem to be...

Just to update the current OJE timeline, I am currently on OJE and just received my course date and I will have been on OJE for 43 weeks before my course starts. That is not including my DL. Bit of a backlog I guess.
