    ROTP after High School Questions

    Stacked , If you knew as much as you think you do then you would know that a qualified Recruiter or MCC WOULD be able to tell you what your CHANCES are but not give you any guarantees. And some people on here ARE qualified Recruiters AND MCCs. Writing a CFAT and doing a medical does not make you...

    Change on the ship before you go home or change when you get home. Unless you wear your flight suit at home same number of clothing changes!

    NES OP and NBP

    Anyone posted to the ship can be selected for NBP training. I had one on my team in the Montreal. A request form through the CoC is all it takes. Mind you it can be denied at any stage.

    Contact the assistant Base Chief at CFB Halifax. He is the dress guru. He would know of any regulations in this regard.

    Authorized belt for Naval Combat Dress

    I don't know of any specific regs concerning the belt except it has to be the black nylon. I've worn my ships belt buckle and only the Army had an issue with it because they don't understand (for the most part) Navy uniforms. The ball cap is out. You are allowed to wear ball caps with NCDs but...

    First time to CFRC

    You can't do the CFAT without an application because you need a Service Number to put in the system. The only way to get a S/N is to put in an application.

    Part-Time University Studies (Online)

    Usually the ships have pretty good access to the internet even at sea. Sometimes not so much depending on the EMCON they are in and the availability of satellite time. Add into that your work schedule. At sea its usually 1 in 2. Alongside homeport your free to do whatever studying you want as...

    What is going on ?

    Funny how military units do not share details of security arrangements with civilians. You'd think that an enrolment  for summer BMQ would take precedent over a large scale security concern like the G20.

    Merit List NCM-SEP

    Retired FDO should know by now that it does not matter how many time he's said it in the past. People either dont read it, think its too old, or for some cosmic reason, dont think it is specific enough or that somehow does not answer their specific individual situation ( which is usualy exactly...

    Merit List NCM-SEP

    There are several posts on what the merit list is. I have said it several times. It's just away that the Recruiting Centre has to indicate that your processing is complete and you are ready for a job offer if there is an opening. NET courses start at MUN in January. If you are going to a local...

    Personnel Screening and other stuff

    If you let the Recruiting Centre know when you'll be in town they will try to accommodate you and get everything done within that time. That of course depends if you are looking at a trade that is need of applicants. Where are you currently?

    Trouble/concern on recruiting still ongoing ATM advice needed.

    First of all CFRC's do not enrol Reserves and that includes CO-OP. The CFRC does the process then sends the completed file to the Reserve Unit and they enrol as they see fit. Second CO-OP applicants do get processed faster only because of the time line involved. It is up to the Unit as to who or...

    high school education, but no qualifications.

    Before you go in to talk to a recruiter go through forcs.ca and check out what your education qualifies you for and look at what your interested in. There are lots of occupations that require the basic education. While your going through have a pen and note pad to write down questions as they...

    "Man faked way into U.S. army"

    Easy to see now why it takes several months to from application to enrolment in the CF. Its called BACKGROUND CHECKS!!! A friend in the US told me it cold take as little as a couple of days to get into the US military.

    Military I.D. and the LCBO- A "situation"

    When my wife and I were posted to Toronto we had to change our driver's licence from NS to Ontario. Not a big deal right? Wrong. It says you need to have a "Government issued ID" What better than the CF ID. Apparently not good enough, never mind the fact that we were in uniform when we went in...

    High school students flunk O Canada

    Could the issue be, especially in the major cities, the fact that a lot of the students or their parents are not originally born here so they never had a chance to grow up with the Anthem like those who were born here? Because we are not allowed to show patriotism a lot of our youth today have...

    I'm on Ontario Disability Support Plan - can I still apply?

    The only ones that can make that determination are the CFRC Dr./Medic and the Recruiting Medical Officer (RMO) in Ottawa. Any other info you get on here would be a guess at best. Go into the RC start the process and when you get to the medical they will ask you to get specific information from...

    Wanting to join... Qustions

    There is no longer a test during your processing. On day 2 or 3 of  BMQ you will be tested. If you do not make the "Threshold Test" minimum standard you get a free trip[ back your place of enrolment. As has been said on here before use the search option to find out what the standards are and...
