Re-word the bolded sentence above to remove the words "hands down". "Hands down" is a very informal, slang phrase that one would use in casual conversation and I would say it isn't appropriate for use in a semi-formal essay. Using that phrase sounds unprofessional and slightly juvenile (don't...

I had just under four years of reserve service when I CT'd to the ROTP. I was given Pte(2), which at the time was $3143/month I believe. However, despite the fact that I was awarded the Pte(2) pay incentive, I didn't see the proper pay for over 18 months. I was paid improperly as an OCdt...

Not sure you're going to find much in terms of Cl B employment right now.............

You need to be a little more specific about what you are wanting to do. How "unqualified" are you? Many Class B positions will require a minimum of a certain rank, others will require certain course qualifications, while still others will employ an individual who has very few course...

Your trade is pilot. The operation of all airframes, whether multi-engine, helicopter, or fast jets, fall under the trade of 'pilot'. Once you successfully complete BFT in Moose Jaw, you will be streamed into a particular airframe community - multi-engine, helo, or fast jet. You will be able to...

This is very odd....

Still unsuccessful, haha.

Hey SupersonicMax, I've been trying to send you a PM about a couple things I wanted to ask you about based on some of your previous posts, but it tells me your inbox is full. Would you mind clearing out a couple messages so I can throw a few questions at you?

Since you already have a beret charged to your clothing account, if you go into clothing stores to be issued another one, you will have to pay for it out of your pocket. Go on Logistik Unicorp and use your points.

I am fully flat-footed. No arch, whatsoever. I was given custom orthotics by the CF for it. To give you a numerical idea, the specialist I saw four years ago @ LFCATC Meaford used a 12-point scale to measure flat-footedness, with '1' having too-high of an arch and '12' being entirely flat...

How much research have you done with regards to the pilot trade, and the requirements for becoming an officer in the CF?

You must be more specific than that. Transferring from the PRes to the Reg Force is a very multifaceted process that involves many things. Try narrowing your question down much more and you will be more likely to get helpful responses.

With PFT as a TD posting away from your home unit, is BFT an actual posting, to include a full move at public expense? (IRP, etc.)

Everyone, I would like some insight as well... or as much as I can get. I'm graduating in six months, approaching the time to submit OJT posting preferences (I'm a pilot-awaiting-training). At this point, I'm torn between Trenton and Winnipeg. My interest is heavily in the multi-engine...

Everyone, I would like to revive this thread a little bit, as I would like some insight as well... as much as I can get. I'm graduating in six months, approaching the time to submit OJT posting preferences (I'm a pilot-awaiting-training). At this point, I'm torn between Trenton and Winnipeg...

So yes, one is permitted to live in Winnipeg during PFT? Is this a common occurrence among candidates?

For those who have gone through PFT/BFT, is it permissible for candidates to live off base while on course? If so, is a commute from the Winnipeg area to Portage reasonable? Cheers

It is <b>not</b> mandatory to live on campus if you're attending a civilian university. You are solely responsible for your own accommodations, it is ultimately your decision whether you decide to live on campus or not. You will, however, receive PLD (Post-Living Differential, which is...

Moe, what did you think of Bag of Bones? I'm trying to decide which one to read next - Bag of Bones or The Stand (I tend to have my most indecisive moments when it comes to choosing my next read, haha). I'm an enormous King fan, always have been... but right now I'm making my way through all of...
