The CFAT is based on grade 10. However, you should have a higher level than that. Go on line and do any and all aptitude  or IQ tests you can. G and get the GED book or go to Chapters or Indigo or any other large bookstore and get any book on aptitude tests. As an Officer you will need to...

And that's why you should always "test drive before you buy"!! :nod:

Here's a thought, just putting it out there. Why not ask CFRC Toronto? You may be surprised to learn that your case is not unique and they may have dealt with it in the past. Just a thought, just putting it out there.

Sounds like someone wants an education paid for.

Where your from makes no difference. ROTP is selected on a National scale. There are NO geographic quotas.

Go into your nearest Recruiting Centre. They will have the list of accepted courses and colleges as well as what (if any) incentives or recruiting allowances you'd be intitiled to.

The CF cares very little HOW much you owe. All we care about is that you don't have any debts go to collection. If no one is beating down your door for money then it's not too bad. Otis is correct. If you get accepted into university then go for it. The CF looks at the highest level of...

I've actually had a guy come to our centre and want to rejoin. When I asked why he quit he said he left in week 3 of BMQ .They yelled at him and he wasn't ready for that. We were so nice to him in the Recruiting Centre that he thought it going to be like that in bootcamp. I told him that if he...

First of all ship's are decommissioned or paidoff. Officers resign their commission. Okay, I have known several officers that have resigned their commission to take NCM occupations. Not a big deal, no one I know of though any less of them and they progressed through the ranks just like...

There is a whole department in Ottawa that is dedicated to advertising. All they need is lots of money an idea and several months after its needed to make it happen!

Criminal records for minor offences don't usually cause a problem as long as you have finished your commitment to the courts. For example you are done your parole or any prohibitions have been lifted or fines paid.  Tattoos are usually ok as long as they are not seen when you wear your #1...

This will be my last entry on this topic. We've beat it to death. However to let everyone know we did a lot of back peddling and apologising when our headquarters directed us to stop processing Permanent Residents. To say this bit us in the A** would be an understatement. I have spent many hours...

As you know getting anything done in Government is like mating elephants. It takes a lot of noise and two years for results! :nod: However, that being said it is in the works to upgrade all the videos. It will take some time as it's being done by a civilian company and it is expensive. The new...

You need to clarify what you mean by "Officer Training". If you mean formal leadership training then that is done a BMOQ. If you want to get technical "Officer Training" is done throughout your whole career. Leadership is very big. You have to not only know your job but how to get others to do...

First if you take Macrinus88's advice then you can count on a long career as a civilian. There is in fact math on the CFAT. If you want to practice then go on line and type in "aptitude test" or "IQ test" Do as many as you can to practice. You need to train your brain to do these things quickly...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and recommend that you print off your questions and take them down to the Recruiting Centre in Windsor. That way you will get the information you want from a QUALIFIED Recruiter not some hack 17 year old that is half way through his process. (not talking about...

The youngest officer I have SEEN is 16. Minimum age to enrol in the Reserves. An officer at that age is under training and not put in command of anything including him/herself. They are usually assigned to a unit and placed under the tender care of a Senior NCO. When they are trained and learn...

A friend of mine told me he saw a couple of shows on Preserver/Protectuer and Iroquois on "Oasis". Been on several times. said it was very well done and he now understands why I'm the way I am. Not sure what he means by that!! :o

Of all the ships I sailed on only a couple actually issued a knife. On some we went out as a department and ordered knives but generally I have always been responsible for my own. I have used the Grohmann belt knife for most of my career and found them to be outstanding. SSO's does state that...

Humm luked ok two me!!  ;D
