Well, yeah. But outside of Israel, Jews tend to see themselves more in solidarity with Muslims than not [source: am Jewish and involved with the Jewish community]. Either way, this is tangential to the topic of this thread. I offer my sincere condolences to the victims of the mosque shooting...

Most of my American friends, from the leftest liberal to the rightest Republican, are left exhausted, heads spinning, wondering what the heck happened (I don't have any alt-right friends, for obvious reasons). Things seem have to gotten out of hand so fast. It feels like I'm living in bizarro...

why would Jewish groups be interested in killing Muslims?

Welp, that's what I get for not reading thoroughly.  ::)

First off, welcome to milnet.ca. Second, all any of us can do is urge you to speak to a recruiter and apply. The wait is difficult, but I'm sure you can do it, and you've certainly got a long and good-looking CV. Study hard for the CFAT, chase that dream, and with luck and skill in hand, you'll...

I go to BMOQ this summer, I was picked up as a top-up in third year.

Hey, I'm a third-year ROTP "top-up" from Winnipeg too! We should meet up or something, haha.

Whoever wins, my relationship with the country of my birth will likely never be the same. The increasing levels of antisemitism on both the left and the right in the USA have got me spooked.

I was never notified when I was merit listed, but I called about two-three weeks after the interview and was told I was merit listed. As for being accepted, I had to wait to August for my own acceptance, but they start coming as early as January and continue until just before September.

Hey there, I'm an ROTP civi u cadet who went through the RMC application process, and I'd be happy to help anyone with any questions about the process they might have.

I used to be pretty interested in the sovereign citizen movement, mainly how anyone could be dumb enough to buy into it. Apparently there are guys making big bucks off of bilking desperate folks out of their last savings, in return for useless "legal tricks" that will get you charged at very...

Redeployment by Phil Klay. Really fascinating series of short stories about US personnel in Afghanistan, mainly Marines (in which the author served, and was deployed) but with some Army and even a Foreign Service Officer's perspectives on offer. Klay's stories run the full gamut of "away" and...

Thanks Mike! And I know, just playing along. You guys have been too kind to me! Thanks for all your help.

I didn't make it into RMC, but I will be doing ROTP at the University of Winnipeg. There's a strong Jewish community there, but I was wondering what life would be like when I get into the "real Army" as it were. However, my questions have pretty much been answered! Also Mike, I invite you to...

Thank you! I am not currently Shomer Shabbat (one who keeps it to a full extent), but hopefully at least ten interested Jews can be found on a given base, enough to conduct a prayer service with. I do enjoy Shabbat services. A much more observant friend of mine is currently serving as an...
