Have you considered the MOTP (Medical Officer Training Plan)? That way, technically, you could go to Med School AND join the Navy.

Well, if you consider the world is currently short something like 40,000 Naval Officers, there's lots of opportunity for you once you call it a career with the CF. This is the Navy. That's Naval Cadet to you.    ;) ;D

2 years? What are you? Naval Weapons Tech?  ;)

Well, you said it yourself. It really depends on opening and performance and your ambitions. It somewhat depends on your MOC too. MOC's that are really short of personnel will obviously have to promote their junior officers faster than an MOC with the full complement of officers. Although I...

FYI: Speaking of China... HMCS Regina is on her way to Shanghai, China right now.

The food is great, and I really mean that. Eating will be the highlight of your day sometimes. The cooks do an excellent job considering they don't have too much space to work with. Life aboard ship is pretty routine. You tend to lose track of days and weeks, and are just concerned about...

I don't know the official policy on this, so please don't only take my word for it. However, as long as your dental condition doesn't pose any kind of medical concern to your health, you should be fine. Once you get in, the CF can fix any major dental problems you have. I know Reg Force...

As long as we're saluting allied foreign officers, I'm totally for it.

277 Nav Comm can be a somewhat intersting job if you're really into it. Basically they are the ships communicators. They process all message traffic to and from the ship, and they also deal with internal communications. They also learn semaphore and other various forms of communications. The...

Just a question as to what these guys do outside of a static health care facility. Other than "Command a Medical Platoon", I'm not entirely sure what they do in the field. Obviously there are lots of tasks associated with commanding a medical platoon, I was just curious if anyone has any first...

I wouldn't be totally opposed to it, but I just wonder for the Pilots themselves... Doing both phases of flying training, and then before going to Phase III (Helos, Multi-Engine, or Jets), having to do 7 months of SLT. I know I would rather get on with Phase III training, rather than have to...
