Thanks for the words of wisdon Chou, I appreciate it. Completely undestand what you're saying with the OJT experiences and courses etc. I guess it's just a small part (and a fun part0 of the big picture. Out of curiosity, are you a pilot or in the process of becomming one? I'm always very...

Yeah that's what I thought you meant too - and I feel the same way.

I think he might mean in terms of waiting periods etc. I'm in the process of getting my initial application sent in because I know how long the process is. The one aspect of the 'whole process' is all the time I hear people spend waiting around - I wish it would all take place in a row - ie...

Thats an awesome find Bo! Wow, what a motivating video - I get so inspired when I see things like that. Still another 2 years to go for me though before university is done  :(

Thanks for the reply Hollywood. Yeah, from what i've heard and read, the process is really lengthy. I just want to reduce 'wait time' as much as possible. I think I'll go in to see a recruiter during christmas break.

Hey Hollywood, this is slightly off-topic but I'll ask anyway. I see you're in your last semester of university and also getting commisioned in December. I have just under 2 years of university left and I'm wondering when I should start the application process to the CF. When did you begin the...

Do you where to buy it? I would love to get my hands on a copy of that.

It's a cross between stumbling and crumpling  ;D

I happened to stumple upon this video today on youtube. Definitely an inspiration for me! I cannot wait to be done university and start working toward this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0N9TheBjns another good one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIOTGklxuQE&mode=related&search= Enjoy.

That's brutal man, I feel for you. I'll be in you position in just under 2 years when I'm done my degeee - hope it doesnt take that long for me. I'm gonna go see a recruiter this summer to see if i should/can get some of the testing and medical stuff done early so when school is finished, the...

Thanks Bograt! Awesome information. Look forward to hearing your rebuttal about BFT *edit*  - Sounds like there are lots of resources put in place to help you out as much as possible. (Desktop sims/interactive multimedia etc). That, I like!

That sounds awesome Bo! I bet the nightlife in Montreal wasn't too shabby either  ;D . Thanks for the response

And also an exiting time for those who hope to some day be wearing blue!  ;D

Very true, and something I will certainly put a lot of thought into when the time roles around.

What made it a good posting for you? Was there lots to do when you weren't actually working? Did you get to fly every now and then? Thanks a lot

I know I do - the previous poster just asked, so I told him what I would like in a perfect world. It's like asking me what I'd do with 5 million dollars. Do I have it? No. Do I know what I'd do with it if I did, you bloody bet I do! And like I said, right now, as a complete virgin to flying, I...

Ideally, I'd be doing OJT somewhere that has Hornets, as jets will be my first choice (at least right now it is). I live in Calgary right now, enjoy the city life, but wouldnt be opposed to living somewhere smaller. I like the outdoorsman type life, but I also like winding down on (or up) on...

For the people who are doing or have done some OJT: How much travleing do you get to do? Not talking overseas or anything, but I've heard a number of people say they took weekend trips to the US for certain events etc. Also, anyone done OJT in Cold Lake?

Thanks man, great info.

Thanks Mike, appreciate the feedback. The reason I brought the topic up is due to the fact that I do think i'm pretty well rounded individual (not to sound overly confident or anything  :) ) and really hope they take other factors into consideration when offering positions. Also, if they do pay...
