That helps a lot, its a good reference to look on (I played around with the numbers and tax rates, I extremly underestimated how long its going to take to pay my large student loan, oh well).

Well I hope to hear some news soon, too much time on my hands with no school this year (even with all the extra time spent training)

JLeclerc · « **Reply #26 on:** September 12, 2007, 21:52:17 »

Unless somebody made a typo...(this directly from the Directorate of Pay Policy and development site)

"Pay Level

A - ROTP (former CBI 204.2111 & 204.2151)
B - OCTP-NFS (former CBI 204.2113 & 204.2153)
C - DEO (former CBI 204.2114 & 204.2154)
D - UTP-NCM / OCTP-FS (former CBI 204.2112, 204.21135, 204.2152 & 204.21535)
E - CFR (former CBI 204.212) "

So C level IS DEO under pay allowances directive.

Well, as my file progresses, I have been handed my next date and should get all the details tomorrow morning about this next phase.

Next NOAB dates in Esquimalt, BC will be from October 14th -19th.

Anyone else scheduled for this yet?

Also, I know some of you reading this have seen the NOAB outlined week post in the forums, and I can't seem to find it anymore. If anyone of you could link it here I'd appriciate it. Thanks!

EDIT: I have found it after a bit more searching....http://forums.air-force.ca/forums/index.php/topic,52231.0.html. Thanks!

I've been scheduled for the Oct. 2007 NOAB. Just waiting to get the paperwork/stuff at the CFRC. Can't wait!

You can also find the day-by-day for the NOAB (Oct. 2006) on the website; www.excelsia.org (search there by topic) for the photos and description (it's essentially the same post).

I've been scheduled for the Oct. NOAB as well.
see you all there

wieselette · « **Reply #30 on:** October 10, 2007, 17:14:11 »

I have been scheduled for my NOAB in a couple of days . I have to say , I'm quite nervous about it. I'm going in DEO , and I'm hoping that I do get selected. It's been something I have wanted to do for quite sometime , was going to apply right out of highschool , but I wanted my university degree first and it was something I wanted to do on my own

Anyone given much information about the NOAB next week ? My recruting office did not really have much for me to go on. For instance I asked what the RAF test involved and it seemed like there wasn't much information given.

Just wondering if anyone out there got any information they can share with me , as I'm quite nervous and don't really know what to expect

JLeclerc · « **Reply #31 on:** October 10, 2007, 19:01:12 »

Read the above posts and check out the links presented there.

Ill see you all on sunday!

Domino_Morphious · « **Reply #32 on:** October 11, 2007, 06:56:13 »

I will say JLeclerc had more info for me, and sooner (by like 3 months) than my recruit office (information was just not sent to them for some reason until much later). Any how I will see you guys sunday after my 7 hour flight and a few time zone changes, heh.

Delicron · « **Reply #33 on:** February 21, 2008, 21:36:47 »

Hopefully I have placed this in the right forum.

I just wanted to put a call out to anyone who will be attending the March 3rd to 7th NOAB in Esquimalt. If there is anyone on here who is going to that board, we might as well get acquainted! I know there are a couple around, but I'm not sure how many are lurking around who are going. It might get us a head start and make it less awkward when we finally all meet (and hopefully, if we are all successful, we can put the same information in the May 5th BMOQ thread as well

)

I'll start:

Name: Chiarizia
Intended MOC: MARS
CFRC: Calgary
Age: 28

Again, hopefully this isn't excessive, just thought it would be relevant. I look forward to seeing you all!

Freebird · « **Reply #34 on:** February 23, 2008, 12:40:16 »

Hey, I got my call a few weeks ago, so I'll be there too, should be fun.

Name: Eric
Intended MOC: MARS
CFRC: Vancouver
Age: 22

Scathach · « **Reply #35 on:** February 25, 2008, 07:49:01 »

Eh Delicron (or should I say Chiarizia - is this your fist name or family name?),

Here is my own information:

Name: Andree
Intended MOC: MARS
CFRC: Halifax
Age: 33

I could also add that my entry level is CEOTP, since I will be completing my Bachelor degree in Management.

Have a great day!

Delicron · « **Reply #36 on:** February 25, 2008, 14:00:41 »

Hehe, guess I should have made it more clear

, cause I'm not sure if Eric is Freebird's last or first name!

Chiarizia is my last name, and I'm going in DEO!

Kevin · « **Reply #37 on:** February 25, 2008, 15:06:17 »

Guess I'm up:)

My name's Kevin, I'll be seeing you all in B.C. as well

CFRC - Oshawa
Entry Plan - DEO

Thanks for starting the thread Delicron, looking forward to meeting everyone.

Scathach · « **Reply #38 on:** February 25, 2008, 15:49:34 »

Just got my letter and plane ticket.
Ugh.
Needed to buy "business style" suit, since I only own jeans and casual pants...
Just completed my CV too.
How you guys doing?
Looking forward to jet lag! Going Coast to Coast!!!

Well, I figure if this doesn't work, there are plenty of careers in the Forces I could handle (mainly pilot of course... I want to use that Commercial license for something!). I've heard that comment quite a few times and definitely think I have my work cut out for me. When I was talking to my file manager, she mentioned the minimum score from the CFAT, Interview, and Medical was 20 points higher for MARS than it is for pilot. Not withstanding not knowing what the scale is out of, it surprised me to see that MARS had a higher bar! So needless to say, I'm scared #$%@less and excited all at the same time. I like a challenge, and this looks to be a major one.

And Scathach, did they tell you to bring a Resume / CV? No one told me anything about that... I have one ready, just seems odd to me after the whole process we've been through.

Thankfully your comment made me go over my package more thoroughly... And yeah we do have to bring a CV. Can't imagine if I hadn't read it!

That should be interesting. There is nothing like a good challenge!

Glad I could help you. See? Team work already!!! I am heading for Staples to print the darn thing, maybe use a fancy schmancy presentation document too. What the heck! Let's not spare the expenses! LOL

Delicron · « **Reply #43 on:** March 09, 2008, 17:28:31 »

Bwahahaha...we got it done, and we all got offers! (Those of use that are on here anyways...). It was a great week. If anyone from this NOAB hasn't joined the Facebook group we created, please PM me and I will get you all the info necessary! Congrats everyone!

George Wallace · « **Reply #44 on:** March 09, 2008, 17:34:46 »

Are you sure Facebook is the thing to do?

Delicron · « **Reply #45 on:** March 09, 2008, 17:38:36 »

I took that into account. It's a private group. Just for us to keep in contact with each other. The contents are private, and the group will not be searchable.

Some of the stuff we saw cannot be displayed publicly... so I wouldn't want to compromise PerSEC or OpSec... (which is why there is no link to it here).

George Wallace · « **Reply #46 on:** March 09, 2008, 17:41:26 »

Nothing is private on the internet. Everything is usually searchable, and there are lots of backdoors.

Delicron · « **Reply #47 on:** March 09, 2008, 17:51:15 »

Understandable. But we all decided as a group this is how we wanted to stay in contact, and I am taking all measures to prevent any sort of accidental display. I am the keyholder to this group as well, so no one can join or view unless I say so. Beyond this, they could have just viewed the two TV interviews (A-Channel Victoria and ShawTV) me and another NOAB Candidate did just before we did our day-sail...cause they will likely display more information than any of us will ever post... including our real names.

So I don't know what else to do there...

That is what you think.

Delicron · « **Reply #49 on:** March 09, 2008, 18:08:42 »

Ok..fine.. I don't know why I suddenly need to be lectured here. What I was saying is: There is more information available from the media about our NOAB than there will be in this group. I've done what I can, and beyond that, if someone really wants to know that bad, he's probably already scanning my email somehow. I am NOT being cavalier, I am not being reckless. I have done what I can to make it difficult for someone to get information about what occurred last week. There is more information on this website already than there has ever been in our Facebook group. Heck, I believe there is a group on Facebook for some members of this site... so why (edit) remind me that what I post could be seen by undesirables? Everything here is subject to the same...
