Thank you very much! This explanation (as well as your other one about the sub-occupations) is a much clearer/digestible format than what we received from CRCN and the NWO occupational managers last spring. I appreciate the clarification, it was a bit of an information fire-hose for us.

As I'm the coxswain of a sea cadet unit, there was some discussion about possibly pushing the enrolment date back so that I could remain in cadets until the end of the year. I asked the recruiters and they said it was not possible, so I accepted the offer and was prepared to enrol. My cadet...

I mean, I know CAF recruiting has some merch under the "FORCES Jobs" brand. I have a drawstring bag, a lanyard, and a pen from them. It's not just for those enrolling but they might have some extras laying around

Oh same. How'd you find out? Did you just ask or did you get an email or something?

When'd you get your RMC application in?

The acceptances I have all require a decision by the first half of May: U of C and U of A are 1 May, and Dalhousie is 15 May.

I'm getting a little worried... RMC said applications for ROTP close on the 31st, and my interview is the 28th. I see this and I see y'all so far ahead and it feels like I'm too far behind. By deadline for ROTP do they mean the application for RMC itself or the whole forces process? Does anyone...

Do you know if naval warfare officer is similar to aircrew trades given their own entrance test the MOST?

mine was meant to be on the 20th but it got pushed back to the 28th lol

It might be worth it just to shoot them a quick call and ask about your status. You'll probably get the typical answer of "We'll email you when we're ready," though. For me, I did my MOST (naval version of aircrew selection) and they sent me the scheduling email for my interview almost exactly a...

What makes you think that it went badly though? Surely it can't have been that bad. As for the final processing thing, it could be (completely spitballing though I'm not sure) where they finish doing various reliability and security checks.

I just manually added it to my signature on here, click on your profile and it should be there.

Mine's scheduled for 20 Jan. I'm guessing I don't qualify for this first round then if I won't even be on the competition list by then lol...

Thanks for the reply! In terms of postings- is it pretty much just wherever the navy needs you? I'm assuming there's little choice in the matter. Do they also mix in shore postings in staff roles as well?
