Woah Katrina, you gonna get courses at UOttawa during your degree? I study there as well, Gee Gee pride :P

I did the rushes recently when I took my Force test and finished with ample time left. The trick I found was to use your backward momentum (after you touch the line with your foot) to drop to the ground, instead of stopping then dropping to the ground. But you have to be pretty fast and if you...

I really love that people on this website have those kind of experiences and can share them. I'm getting more excited by the day (even though it's exam season over here -.-), and yeah, I'll do my best to try and improve my leadership (and "followership") throughout the course, I'm sure it'll be...

There's always time to work out, if only within the confines of your home. 20-30 mins of exercise a day is not a lot and it can help maintain your fitness levels to an acceptable standard, at least for pushups and running. Don't make excuses saying that "life" made you fat and out of shape at...

@Bay-93 I'm going to St-Jean on the French platoon leaving May 10th and starting May 12th. Great answers all around, especially Ayrsayle, that was exactly what I was looking  for. And yes, it was about LPAC. I'm quite looking forward to it then, it looks like an interesting challenge. As usual...

@OblivionKnight Accept your offer for Teacher's college, usually you can cancel an acceptance before the school year starts with almost no penalty, except some administrative fees.

I'm going to be on that platoon, brushing up on my PT and studying for exams make for a lovely combination.

This might fit better in the "Personal Stories" section.

I wouldn't worry, you'll encounter plenty of very enjoyable bureaucracy as your career goes on. If they gave you an offer on the phone and you accepted then it's pretty much sure. I'd say if after a week from now you still haven't had any news, then call the recruiter that called you, or show up...

What Griffon said. In demand simply means they're accepting applications. Admittedly, choosing certain jobs will give you a better chance of being selected, but I wouldn't advise picking a trade just to get in, if you end up not liking your job, you'll be miserable because in the CF, your job is...

Alors, y a-t-il d'autres ELOFs qui seront sur le cour du 12 mai? Si oui, commentez ici. D'après ce que j'ai compris ca va être en français.

-You need your advanced maths first of all, so make sure you take them. -For pilots, I'd advise being in the A to A+ range for your marks yes, that's a nice average. -Community service is very pertinent, especially for someone who doesn't have a lot of job experience. Then again, job...

1. It's hard to say, but grades are definitely a big part of what they look at. That said, it's not everything. 2. I would really really strive for improving my average, you start with a clean slate in university, make use of it. Not to mention that by working hard, A- average is within reach...

1. You could have checked Forces.ca and gotten the answer to the first part of your question. Being able to show initiative is important if you're hoping to become an officer someday. Yes, you can apply for either (or both) RMC or Civilian ROTP, however the military prioritizes RMC applicants...

I'm due for BMOQ on May 12, in French. Looking forward to it with a mix of elation and apprehension.

I'm told it's a very competitive program, even more than ROTP, but don't quote me on that. Your other option would be to leave once your obligatory service period is up, and try to re-enlist under ROTP. But be aware that pilot is a very competitive trade, and there's no guarantee you'll be...

I was looking around for information on BMOQ to get a bit of an insider's view, since I'm due to go this summer (very probably), and I saw that there's supposed to be a leadership assessment (around week 2 I believe?) and training, and I'd like to ask if anybody who actually went through it...

Doesn't matter what program you apply, you should have gotten at least a basic academic assessment by now (as in, suitable or unsuitable). Call the place where you sent your application to, back when I did mine it was North Bay, but I'm not sure if that has changed this year.

Personally, it was my college grades that disqualified me the first time I applied (Or so my interviewer told me), since my high school grades were pretty good. But I'm guessing my situation might have been different since I had been out of high school for quite a while.

Academics is one of the 4 pillars of RMC, so yes, it's pretty important, but it's not everything. You need at least 75% average to be considered as well as Advanced Maths for RMC. I am unsure if the 75% average is required for Civilian ROTP as well, but chances are that having lower than that...
