I graduated on the last serial of Phases 3 and 4, but I won't be much help because they are currently rewriting the course. I can tell you it will be focused on commanding a troop and on recce. Also, from now on, candidates will be promoted to Lt upon completing Ph 3 and return for Ph 4 only...

At my unit the most common are electrical engineering and computer egineering grads, but doing anything else won't necessarily make you less competent. A Sig O at one of the battalions here is a physical education grad. p.s. recruiting centre will probably make you go to RMC if you haven't...

I am presently on CAP in Gagetown. A few of us are working on SMESC templates that is easy to fill out when receiving / giving orders (before anyone asks, YES we are allowed to use them and NO this is not an assignment). If anyone wants to share, I can upload them to a public server, I'm sure it...

This thread was useful. What are the dates for BSOC next year? On the CFSCE site I could only find the 08-09 schedule.

Agreed. As far as OJT's go, you make your own opportunities. I wouldn't be here at DRDC if I hadn't contacted staff here via a professor from university. They were more than happy to have another engineer in the lab, just as Borden was that I had found a suitable arrangement on my own. But I...

Thanks for the information. I should've figured it wouldn't be so simple. I shouldn't be complaining about the opportunity I have here at DRDC anyway. MC

I'm reg force and the clerks at Borden say no signals unit will take an ocdt who has not done CAP. Its really what I'd like best though.

I'm an officer cadet, and have just completed my university degree. I've done IAP+BOTP but not CAP. I've been doing research at DRDC Valcartier for the summer, but that was supposed to end in August and we just recently came to the conclusion I won't be ready in time for CAP in september due to...

Right, subsidization only starts after IAP/BOTP, so if he did get accepted in September somehow, he wouldn't see any money for tuition until the following year. Thanks for the clarification, pops  :)  

Ironic of you to ask, seeing as I'm attempting to respectfully bring forth the facts as they are based on my experience, having been through a similar situation. I was accepted around mid-year and neither I nor any of the other people accepted at the same time were payed anything until IAP. Only...

I know you are a recruiter, and things might have changed since I got in two years ago, but back then you were only subsidized starting after finishing IAP.

I didn't get it while I still lived at home with my parents. Just trying to help the original poster out.

Threats now? Bottom line, ROTP does help you out with living expenses, like rent, so thanks for the intervention, relevance police, but I think everything is under control here.

Actually, it does. If I still stayed with my parents or was at RMC and stayed on campus, I wouldn't get it.  Therefore, you could consider that ROTP does cover part of my rent. Didn't think I'd have to spell it all out.

I think I actually get some compensation for my rent. Something like 160 bucks a month. It varies depending on where you live, I forget what they refer to it as.

latest on quebec news pages have it as 2 soldiers from valcartier. cameraman was severely injured in the foot, SRC reporter went into shock (no physical wound).

I'm proud he stood to point it out, and I would have expected it from any elected official, not just my father. These politicians made the political decision not to stand and have to explain their actions.

Surprising though that people here don't take any pride in their military - I would even say many have no respect for it and I'm not saying it to bash quebec or talking out of my ass. I'm a francophone from quebec city and I know what kind of looks one dressed in a green uniform gets. I have no...

thanks for the replies. I ordered from the PPCLI kitshop.

I've been looking to acquire one but have don't have access to any kit shop as I am ROTP. I've searched here and looked around on the web but found nothing I was sure was the right thing. Anyone know where I could fine one? thanks
