i've finished an Avionics (AVS) course at a civi college and im doing the AVN through civi college again, and i have to say Avionics was almost twice as hard. Well for me that is. Its less hands on and more theory.
I could never get a grasp of electronic theory. Sure i passed but never and will...
I was in the exact same boat! But I was an avionics technician and not an M cat, just E. I joined for a stable job, and I've already done 4 years civi and 2 years college. Honestly it doesn't matter if you get your M catagory because it'll expire within the 2 years. I'm sure you already knew...
I bought my first vehicle in the US when i was 19. It was a nice coupe but didn't last very long. I'm 24 now and have been offered a job in CF (starting in Aug 4th is my swear in date). I'm debating if i should purchase a new Nissan Xterra Off Road. I'm not quite sure if its a good idea buying a...
thanks to you actually. You sent me a text the day before and I called the recruiting center right away. From there i went and did an interview. Went by pretty quick. There was actually 2 guys from the recruiting center before me who had already recieved offers.
well lets hope its still open! I received my offer last week. (i accepted it of course)
I was really worried that i wouldn't get my SEP for my AVN course at Canadore college. Aldo supprized to know that it isn't in HIGH demand as i thought. When I was interviewed I was told that there was only...
I just got an interview with the recruiters today. The AVN SEP was opened just last thrusday and there are only 15 openings.
Lets hope we both get them!
I'm not quite clear on pricing because guys in the barracks at wing 22 tell me they pay 80-100$ in rent? But i'm reading barracks else where are roughly the same prices as civvie single rooms. 400-500ish
are they all bunk beds or is it possible to have your own room?
Just wondering how life in barracks is. With the weekly room inspections and such, will i be able to keep say a licensed pistol/ ar-15 in my room?
And what about women? If i pick one up, can she come spend the night with me :)
So i withdrew from the AVS tech SEP for fall 2009. I decided I'm better off a mechanic rather than an avionics technician. After waiting 2 months for the colleges reply i finally receive my acceptance letter for AVN, so i reapply for AVN. One of the recruiters mentioned to me that they are full...
my apologies, I forgot to have added I'm in my second year in college. I'm at Canadore College, Avionics technician to be exact.
Say if I were sworn in tommorrow, and failed during christmas. What would become of the rest of the last college semester? Would I still get paid?
Ok so I see I...
I went and took a look at the Spec pay sheet. I understand that as an AVS/AVN we do receive spec 1. Now the question is, under "Quals" it says Q5LA. What exactly is that?
So I take it, its not true being a Corporal, you don't receive Spec pay 1 immediately?
Can someone explain to me how...
Going to be doing a subsidized course, AVS to be exact. What will happen if I did happen to fail a course or two? Will i get booted off the Canadian forces and forced to pay back the funds? Or can I take it again and pass then do my BMQ without any penalties?
Just curious if i go ahead with the idea about joining. I'm waiting on my file to go through and i'll get an answer on when to be sworn in. where will i be stationed? Its hard to find an avionics technician in the civilian world who knows anything at all about the CF airforce.
1. - I also have...
I havent sworn in yet but my medical is this friday, I've spoke this over with my family and my significant other. And it turns out they are fine with is as long as its within ontario. I understand that the CF will post me where ever they need me but is there a way i can be posted here in...
If someone could answer this in the same order i'd greatly appreciate it
1. Benifits.
- Comprehensive Medical Care, does this mean that 100% of my benifits are paid for?
- This includes my common law or wife?
- Do CF members get some sort of tax reductions? (i was told by a friends CF doesnt...
