I have not becuase it said on the website that applications window doesn't open till November. The POC did state during one of the zoom calls that we can start sending in applications; no need to wait until November.

Flyman Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Is it true that if you are sponsored you may still not meet the Reserve board? (New to this, sorry if it has been asked before). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems it used to be if you were sponsored and cleared medically the Reserve board was just a formality. Now it seems they have severely cut the number of UPT slots for the Reserve so they are prioritizing the most undermanned squadrons.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance. If you go to the main page, there should be a forum for "What Are My Chances?" and that typically draws some good responses from other applicants and pilots alike. That being said, good job on the P and PCSM. Really depends on what you're looking for, but I'd say with how competitive aviation is right now across the board, it's probably worth trying to increase your scores. But (big but) don't not apply because you're going to retake. If the deadline's coming up, send the app in! Never self-eliminate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if I'm going to get all my medical stuff (MEPS and FC1) completed before the next AFRC board in January. Do I have to have everything completed and stamped before applying to the AFRC board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb1685 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Did anyone catch word of the 136 AW's board ahead of time? Just saw their recruiting Facebook page post a pic of their selectee swearing in. I had no idea they were having a board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sartoreabram Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 This may seem like an odd question. But my first visit to a base for a meet and greet is next month. What should you wear and bring? I was told to reach back a week before for details but just trying to get an earlier heads up. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t be the only dingus showing up in a suit lol. As far as gifts: it’s usually an alcohol donation to the bar, but I would check with your hiring POC if it’s kosher to bring some. Also seen donuts and coffee being donated which was well received. Good luck dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
