Hello,
I'll be finishing my degree, commissioning and hopefully starting at 1 CFFTS sometime before the end of 2013 to train as an ACSO. Considering the timeline, I'm guessing I'll be finishing my ACSO course mid-to-late 2014, counting for delays, etc.
I was wondering if anyone is aware of how many candidates are selected per course on average for Sea King/Cyclone, and if the number is going up, or down currently in anticipation of the Cyclones hopefully, someday being delivered? From what I've heard from a couple of friends currently on course, everybody and their brother wants to go Sea King/Cyclone. Is the only realistic shot at getting it to be top of course?
Also, in the interests of getting top of course, is there anything that I can do in advance while on OJT to prep for the new ACSO course? Will reviewing my civilian flying books, such as FTGU, for topics like Air Law, Meteorology and Navigation help?
Thanks,
Tom
