    Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP)-RMC 2000 - 2018 [Merged]

    During my interview I was told that I was not suitable for RMC because I did not have a high school diploma, only a GED. I had no desire to attend RMC, so this didn't concern me too much. I of course would have attended whichever school they told me to go to. In the end I was accepted and told...

    Base closures?

    I did not go to CMR St. Jean while at CFLRS, but I believe it is on the river, not CFLRS. CFLRS is approximately 2.5 km from the river.

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    http://www.scenicreflections.com/files/Flower_Ship_Wallpaper__yvt2.jpg The guns generally only spray mists of water to water the flowers. In a dire emergency, a bouquet of mixed wildflowers can be launched out of them also, but there has to be a substantiated threat of peace being lost.

    What's the dumbest thing you heard said today?

    At a party on the weekend somebody "engaged" me in conversation about the war in Afghanistan: Him: "It's all about oil! The only reason we are in Afghanistan is to build an oil pipeline through the country. It had nothing to do with looking for Al-Qaeda or Osama. Osama bin Laden had nothing to...

    Walts, posers & wannabes (merged)

    I found this interesting story in the Toronto Star this week. Obviously this gentleman needed some sort of mental health assistance. Hopefuly if he was a veteran, they find his service records and he receives any of the benefits he would be entitled to...

    Leave Policy – Weekends (time off) Merged]

    As posted above, it depends on the staff and performance of the platoon. That being said, it is usually the 5th weekend that is the first weekend off. Our staff told us after the weekend passed that a platoon has to really screw up to not get that 5th weekend off. Also, it seemed as though the...

    Petawawa Bi-athlon?

    What about the CF National Sports program and the other sports that are included in CISM competitions? There are a lot of events that are not distance related and there seems to be a wide variety. http://www.cfpsa.com/en/psp/Sports/NationalsportslistMain_e.asp

    Problems and Bugs

    I'm trying to complete the "Supply the AOR" mission in Tripoli, Libya. I was able to play the mission once, but then it said I needed to purchase more equipment. It states I need 2 IMP's to perform the mission and that I currently have one. When I go to the QM tab IMP is not listed. If I click...

    ROTP with a GED

    I did not take the high school courses prior to applying ROTP. I completed my GED, applied to a University, did similar courses (13 in total) in university (Physics, Calculus, English, etc.) and then applied ROTP. Completing the high school courses seemed like a step backwards to me since my...

    ROTP with a GED

    I had a similar situation and I was accepted in the ROTP entry plan to attend a civilian university. I don't know if anything has changed in the last year, but during my interview the interviewer stated that I would not have been eligible to attend RMC because I had to have a high school diploma...

    Being given orders in english..

    In addition, this past summer they had certain days of the week for calling drill in the other language. For example, on Tuesdays and Thursdays we were supposed to be calling our drill in French. The reasoning was that on your grad parade you could have both French and English platoons, so you...

    Medal and Awards Research

    My girlfriend has obtained her grandfather's service medals from WW2 and there was a Canadian General Service pin in the box as well. On the back there is a 6 digit serial number and I was wondering if this is his service number. In some articles I've found they state this number correlates to...

    How important are extracurriculars for ROTP applicants?

    Man, I don't check the boards for 12 hours and all heck breaks loose.... You are correct, I have no experience in the military. My statement was a general one based on the experiences of my family - My sister was in Air Cadets for 6 years and my uncle, who is retired military and was also the...

    How important are extracurriculars for ROTP applicants?

    Go for it. I've never been in Cadets, but my sister was and she loved it. There always seemed to be a varied age group at any of her events that I went to. Don't worry about age either, it is all in your attitude regarding the situation. Out of the few hundred people at Recruit Camp last summer...

    How important are extracurriculars for ROTP applicants?

    I haven't participated in team sports since before you were born and it didn't make a difference in my application. In its place, I had extensive leadership experience and positions of responsibility. Have you considered cadets? The experience will give you an excellent insight into the military...
