    Commissioning - Masters without Bachelors

    MSc Computer Science, admitted on prior experience and training. However, depending on how hard the Baccalaureate requirement is UTP-NCM or CEOTP may still be on the table. This is what I'm trying to ascertain. Is the Baccalaureate a hard requirement or is a Master's generally considered to meet...

    Commissioning - Masters without Bachelors

    Both the UTP-NCM and CEOTP require the member to complete a Bachelor's/Baccalaureate Degree. DAOD 5002-9, UTP-NCM: 2.1 The CAF recognizes that some NCMs possess the personal qualities and the potential to serve as officers and provides them with the opportunity to apply to undertake the...

    Commissioning - Masters without Bachelors

    Can anyone advise if it's possible for an NCM to be Commissioned if the member has a Master's Degree but does not have a Bachelor's? UTPNCM and CEOTP reference baccalaureate degrees specifically, however, I don't know how higher degrees fit into the plans in the absence of a bachelor's. Thanks...

    NCM to Officer ( merged )

    If I can piggy back this topic a little bit - what are the training requirements when an experienced NCM switches to the Officer side of the house? Let's say it's an experienced MCpl, Sgt, or WO for that matter. Are they exempt from anything other than BMOQ?

    "Towards a New Model Army? The Benefit of Direct Entry Senior Officers"

    This may be comparing apples and oranges to a degree, but the Metropolitan Police have a direct entry program for Inspectors and Superintendents. According to them it seems to be doing well. http://www.metpolicecareers.co.uk/directentry/ http://www.metpolicecareers.co.uk/superintendents/

    Cyber Operator trade Mega Thread

    Yeah just asking because it specifically refers to now hiring via Direct Entry at the top of the page but goes on to say "soon" accepting DE like you mentioned. I don't have a horse in the race either way, bit of a mixed message though.

    Cyber Operator trade Mega Thread

    Looks like the Cyber Operator recruiting page was updated yesterday to "Now Hiring: we are now accepting applications for this job through direct entry" Does anyone know if that's true? I thought it was staying in-house for another year or two.

    CAF Rank Structure vs Unified Ranks

    This is a random hypothetical that has crossed my mind: Would the CAF (or any Military really) be more or less effective had it adopted a "unified/singular" rank structure along the lines of the RCMP, or most any police force, and why? Why have Militaries historically separated their...

    I suppose you can do every job in the CAF? It's called Spec Pay, and it isn't granted based on how hard you work.

    Cyber Operator trade Mega Thread

    I don't have the specifics but as it stands there is a selection process and cyber testing in place for the next batch of Cyber Op COT's. Whether that will remain once the occupation is fully staffed I have no idea. What kind of selection process are you referring to?

    I don't see how desiring better compensation for an occupation, or occupations,  is the same as being solely motivated by $. Agree to disagree I suppose.

    Fair point. Just my opinion. Maybe they should be paid more as well. I'm not claiming that the situation is unique.
