Hi,
I'm considering a career as a DEO for a few trades (MARS, Pilot, and Logistics). I have a Bachelor in Commerce, spec. Marketing from the University of Ottawa. I visited a recruiting office recently, which answered a lot of questions. However I have a couple more which could be answered.
1) What is the general timeline from applying until an offer, and then Basic Officers Training? How much time would there be between an offer and Basic?
2) After Basic, what would the timeline be before being posted?
3) What would the salary level be for DEO during Basic? There was some uncertainty on the level of pay for DEO vs. regular entry officers, and whether there would be backpay once Basic was completed.
4) Are there signing bonuses on offer for DEO? After speaking with a couple of officers, some mentioned there was, at some point, signing bonuses.
A couple more questions involve the training and posting timelines for some of the trades after Basic is completed:
5) For Pilots, where does training take place, and for how long? I understand that it varies based on the specialization of the pilot, but I really wanted to know how long each phase would be.
6) For Logistics in the Navy, how long is spent in Borden at the Admin school?
Thanks for your time. As you can see, my main concerns involve the timelines of moving as I am trying to coordinate with my spouse as much as possible.
