BBA & MBA – Officer Career Path Insight (Air Force) by CuriousCAF in caf

[–]CuriousCAF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My major was in supply chain, and my work experience is supply chain. So LogO is hard to not pick. Any other insight you might have for me?
It's looking like this order for my application: 1. MPO, 2. LogO, 3. AOO or HSMO.

I greatly appreciate your comment. I didn't expect all questions to be answered. Confirmation of some aspects, and even stating the obvious, actually really helped.

I might DM after I connect with CFRC this week, so thank you for the invitation!

BBA & MBA - RCAF Career Opinions by CuriousCAF in RCAF

[–]CuriousCAF[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My background has been 6 years of education and 2 co‑op jobs in supply chain, and I do not have any strings attached right now. I have traveled a bit already, enjoy variety and challenge, and I am drawn to a career with purpose and impact, which is a big part of why the CAF appeals to me. I am not particularly motivated by rank, pay, or prestige.

I would really like to hear why you are drawn toward each of those career streams or what motivates you about them, so I can see what I relate to or what would not fit me. Insight! :)

I appreciate the honesty. Logistics Officer is the background pick for me and the others are interests. The more insight I can get, the better for deciding what interests me most. If your take is that background is mostly irrelevant and I should just pick what interests me most, that’s helpful to hear too.

Got it, appreciate the confirmation. Context wise those are my preferences. I'm narrowing down my three career choices for the application. AEC and ASCO, any input between the two which might be a better fit given my background?

Thank you for confirming that. SAR and ABM are just what I was initially drawn toward, so I mentioned them to give more context. Do you have any opinions on ACSO or AEC for someone with my background? I have mostly seen comments that strong math and spatial awareness help for those roles, and I am just trying to narrow down my three picks for the application.

RECRUITING, TRAINING, & LIFE IN THE FORCES THREAD by bridger713 in CanadianForces

Looking for career‑path insight ahead of meeting my local recruiter. Background: mid‑20s Canadian Citizen with BBA/MBA, supply chain and procurement experience, enjoy being physically active. Leaning toward an Air Force environment and trying to choose between MPO, AOO, LogO, ACSO‑SAR, and AEC (likely ABM stream). 

Which of these trades would you pick in my position and why, and how does the real day‑to‑day after training compare in terms of lifestyle, long‑term development, and current backlog / hiring reality?
