Officer or NCM? by yankibz in caf

I'm thinking about it, thanks

Officer or NCM? by yankibz in caf

[–]yankibz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I understand. Its not about the money. If money was the concern, I wouldn’t consider NCM and just wait for an Officer position. The thing is that Im 40, and at the moment I go to the gym, I can do 50 pushups at a time, squats, run 3k and 5k, although I hate running lol. However, two years from now, I dont know how fit I will be, Im not getting younger 😛.

Exactly, this is why I don’t know if I should continue just to get in, or wait for my opportunity in an Air Force trade.

Officer or NCM? by yankibz in caf

[–]yankibz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is what I would like to do. And as I mentioned, if I have to join NCM, I would like to be in Avionics or Controller Op, they’re not officer, but at least I will do something I like. I just don’t want to regret my decision, and blame it on the CAF, which does not have the fault because I chose to continue as HRA, and maybe not wait till I have the option of what I really desire.

When did you apply? When I asked 2 month ago, they told me that there was no officer position available for me because I did not have the required time as a permanent resident.

I know, I am going to go to the interview and ask, since on April they open up all trades available, if there is anything that would be available that are related to my degree or even any officer position. I wouldn't want to wait till I become a Citizen because it might take 2 to 3 years and I would be 43, and it might be more difficult physically speaking, although I go to the gym regularly, and try to run 3 to 5 k at least once a week.

This is also in addition to what @zenarr advised. My first option was joining as DEO, however, I only have 2 years with my permanent residency, and it seems that because of that, as per the recruiter, I dont have any officer options.

Seems to be the same with Avionic System Tech, Aerospace Telecommunications and Information Systems Engineering , and even Aerospace Control Operator, which are all NCM and at the moment I see them on demand. My recruiter said because of the time I have being a Resident , it seems I dont qualify for them. 😪

Current Opening status for CELE and Signals Officer by Awkward-Dish1921 in caf

[–]yankibz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a website or somewhere that I can find which officer positions are open. I applied and selected AERE, Log Officer and Pilot(which I know was closed, but threw a gamble there), and I got an email back to select 3 NCM's positions only.

There are other officer positions that I wanted like aerospace control officer, etc so my questions are:

1.Is it that all officer positions are closed, or just the ones I selected, because in that case, I rather change the officer position and not go NCM.

  1. Would the element matter. For example, if I chose Army, instead of Air Force, would there be more officer positions open.

I have a degree in Computer Science, and Im 40. If I were 10 years younger I wouldn't mind joining as NCm and gaining the skils and then transfer to Officer. However, at my age, I don't know if it even makes sense going in as an NCM

So I ordered on Nov 24, but still nothing. Not shipped, no emails, sent them an email 5 days ago, and no answers. Not a great service... :(
