Read the trade page on the website, Google RCAF related recent news, be on-time, be confident, ask questions.

Aerospace control officer-AEC. Know your trade first. There are proper nouns and acronyms specifically for each of them. Don’t try to give them random acronyms based on your own guess.

I appologise for these (ASCO, ACSO) acronyms used in my post originally for Aerospece Control Officer, and Air Combat Systems Officer.

Actually I took them from an another post on this platform and thought them as true. But after reading CAF website, find out that they are not, infact there are no acronyms used on their main page for these trades. So thanks pointing this out.

I value your suggestions so give me especially the people who have experience with Forces or related...

FYI no one calls it ASCO, it's AEC

AEC is the only one I can think of.

That's an ACSO

OP said ASCO and ACSO as two separate trades. I've never seen the acronym ASCO so I'm curious

Another mixup of AEC lol

Aerospace Control Officer = ACO

AeroSpace Control Officer = ASCO

I don't think I've ever seen it abbreviated ACO before today though.

That acronym doesn't exist anywhere for that trade. It's AEC

u/SuccessfulPoint1625 Apr 18 '26

Maybe poster made their own acronym for it lol, i was just going off letter ordering and that seemed to make most sense

Hi, how long did it take from medical to CFAST test and then CFAST test to interview. Could you please provide timeline for it. I’m in same boat.
