I almost forgot. A good idea if you want to go Regular Force and convince your parents would be to sit down with them and show them the trade videos. On top of that, the new forces.ca flash site has videos on BMQ and BMOQ aswell as RMC. You could then supplement it with the reality series Basic...

Well dustinm, let's look at this at the worst case scenerio. You can download and print all the forms required for application and then mail it in along with photocopies of required documents(SIN, Transcripts, etc..). Then the CFRC calls. You tell them that you have no immediate transportation...

Congratulations. Just a hint for your interview, know your trade choices well. Know what they do, who they are, why you want to do it, and all that fun stuff. Also it would be a good idea to know some things about the officer side of the house that you should have looked at already.

Well, there is an infantry unit in the same place and he has a special time period and days of the week for completing medical stuff. So, based on that and what advice I'd recieved from him in the past, I'd say he knows a thing or two.

I was thinking phone as well. I doubt they'd get me to go back down there just to test me a few things. And, it's also pointless to get my hopes up before my medical is fully completed. But hey, I'm optimistic. My family doctor basically said that all the forms(except the visual acuity one)...

@Marshall: Thanks for your concern. But I really doubt I'd be throwing anything away if I didn't make the grade. I really thought it through and honestly I'd love to go either way. I've talked to a lot of infantry NCMS and Officers at CFB Gagetown and surrounding areas and from what I gather...

@Marshall: Fantastic. They recommended that I go for some civi Us as well. However, it took me so long to decide to try to be an officer, and my pros and cons for officer and NCM ended at about even for me. So, personally, it's either RMC or I'm going Infantry Soldier. I'm not being fickle or...

Since you apparently have no time, here's my advice. Read my threads on push ups and sit ups. These programs offer a way for you to improve significantly over a period of time and it doesn't really take that much of your days. Atleast thats what I'm doing to get ready(My goal is to able to do...

Awesome. Hopefully you'll have some more light to shed on the process when you go through to give overs a more complete view of the ROTP selection process :salute: Good luck for tomorrow  :pop:

Psshh... Thats not that bad. Top 300 applicants is a pretty wide berth. Especially when you take in people who apply with nothing... Not good grades, no extra cirriculars... Stay positive. Just for inspiration, 2 people from the exact same area(my best friend and I) were chosen to be one of...

@Marshall: I was there from 0745 till about 1315. During that period, I was only sitting down doing nothing for about 20 minutes at the beginning, 10 minutes after my medical and before my interview(but I was reading a military journal, so it flew). From what I gathered, it's usually not a...

@ Marshall: I doubt you'd have time nor want to change from casual clothes. For me, it was pretty much go go go. @ The Beaver: Apparently not. Must just be some sort of gung-ho, roll in the mud, bang bang, grunting group. @ Immortal: And if everything goes as planned, most of us will be in the...

Hiya. I posted it previously, but I'll bite  ;D. I'm also going for Military and Strategic Studies and my choices are Artillery, Armour, and Infantry, in that order(though, admittedly, I'll probably end up switching and trying for Infantry).

Congratulations Puffin. The Captain that interviewed me said the same thing. What academic program and trades are you going for?

I'm from Lourdes.

Don't sweat it took hard Red_Lion. If you don't have all the pre-requisites for the program you are applying to, you get sent on a preparatory year in RMCSJ(RMC St. Jean) as a Junior Applicant as opposed to a Senior Applicant.

Interesting. I live about an hour west of Stephenville. In the Navy as an officer with a Buisness degree you can be: - Maritime Surface and Sub-surface Officer(MARS) - Logistics Officer - Health Care Administration Officer - Public Affairs In the Navy as an officer with a Civil Engineering...

It is just to your undies. I wore a long sleeve collared shirt with slacks and shoes. When I went in, I was the only one wearing a collared shirt, the only one not wearing jeans, and the only one not wearing sneakers. The funny thing is the Corporal that phoned me said "Wear a collared shirt...

I brought shorts. It didn't matter, I still had to strip down. They don't ask you to bring all of your medical records to the CFRC because A. Your medical may not be done by a medical doctor. and B. If you don't have anything previously or currently wrong with you, there is no need to go to...

I personally had a freaking paper for every medical blip I mentioned, no matter how old. I ended up with 6 papers to get filled out, which cost about $200 to get filled out(unsubsidizable). But if you haven't had any real diagnosis with anything severe, I wouldn't sweat it. And, if you keep...
