What do you think of civilians at RMC?
Personally, as much of a part of the "defence team" as civilians are, I don't think they have a place at RMC. Why?
When the CF employs civilians, such as PSP, It's usually a cheaper, more effiencent and generally producitve role they are put into. However, the civvie students at RMC are there to augment our sports teams. While it's good for RMC to have prestige in sports, I'd rather have a losing team made up of fellow cadets or reservists attending the college than a team of half civvies competeing in a league probably too large for an 1100-strong university.
The role of RMC is to train future officers, and, by definition, civvies are not bound to be officers. Why are they here? We have another university and a college in Kingston to accomodate those people. RMC is a CF institution, and ought to remain that way.
