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...

Recruiting Centre: CFRC - Calgary Regular/Reserve: Regular Officer/NCM: Officer (RMC ROTP) Trade Choice 1: Naval Warfare Officer Trade Choice 2: Trade Choice 3: Application: 6 September 2024 CFAT: 16 September 2024 RMC Supplemental Application: 19 September 2024 (submitted 7 Oct) Maritime...

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?

Since I'm in sea cadets I get a decent amount of info on things from alumni and family friends, but the CFRC information I got at the time was mostly about ROTP and RMC itself, not as much about career path afterwards. I've heard of NOTC Venture and the BWK ticket, but I haven't really gotten...
