Worth achieving higher NCM rank before going officer?

[Eye In The Sky]

I think the issue here is a "lingo/slang" one.  CFR is commonly used to refer to anyone who was of the NCM flavour and then became a Commissioned Officer. 

CFRP is the Officer-generating program that refers to a true "CFR" Officer.  Other programs such as UTPNCM, CEOTP, RESO, etc are all programs for generating Commissioned Officers for the CF, but "we" seem to refer to anyone who was a NCM before taking their commission as a "CFR", regardless of the plan/program they changed under.

Hi,

Thanks to Black/Eye, things are much clearer now. Next time I'm in touch with #1 son, I'll ask him which plan he was under.

CFAO 11-9 CFRP is for Regular Force.  Does anyone know the "rules" for reservists?
