    I was in Cornwallis course 7324 I believe now and joined up as my father was in the RCAF, lived in many places and remember Chatham and Germany the most. Definitely worth every minute and taking swearing allegiance to the Queen.

    • @aidanbegovic9584
      @aidanbegovic9584 Před 3 lety +6

      You can 20/70 vision but has to be able to be corrected to 20/20 with glasses to become a pilot,usually the pilots with glasses will be sent to fly everything else other than the cf18s (there are some tho) so I'd say there is a chance you'd be allowed to fly the globemaster or herc as long as it's better than 20/70 and how well you do in training etc etc etc. They dont always let you choose which aircraft you fly they will look at your exam and flight training records and what aircraft needs more pilots etc.
      Sorry for the long reply :)

      @@gre3nishsinx0Rgold4 thats awesome man. So would you say that once your done you can transfer somwhere into the civilian world. On the webiste it says for Gunner that you can be surveyor, computer network operator, firefighter, heavy equipment operator, prison/security guard. Would you say thats true?. For infantry it says that theres no transferable work for the civilian world and i really find that hard to believe. But other than that did they tell you how long it wouldve been to get into infantry on the waiting list. I dont care if im light infantry or mechanized infantry i would be fine with either. But from the research ive done light infantry gets the more adventurous and fun training/deployments while mechanized is all with vehicles.... plus i also heard traffic technician gets the most/fun deployments and there in demand. I would hate to be put on a long waiting list if so id probably go with traffic technician... sorry to ask so many questions but would you say some warehouse experience would help me get into traffic technician i have my forklift license, skid steer license and WHMIS cert plus drivers license.... again sorry for the million questions

    I want to become a pilot for the air force. After basic training and university degree, what is the selection process like for military flight school? What do you guys look for? how do I prepare? If I don't happen to get in the first year, can I still try the year after?

    • @kadenkinoshita6525
      @kadenkinoshita6525 Před 3 lety +3

      Jordan wang you definitely need the university degree and along with basic training you will also need to complete the officer training course following your basic. The selection process is among the toughest for pilots. You need to score quite well on the aptitude test before they even consider if you can be a pilot and then if you get into flight school it’s competitive with small margin for error I’ve heard. I imagine you can apply again if it doesn’t work out the first time as well. Hope this helps
