It happens, it depends on the load the recruiters have. Recruiters usually don't look at individual applications this early besides making sure there's no red flag, you get ranked on the merit list after your CFAT, Medical and Interview and from there they go down the merit list to assign positions.

Thanks guys! The ROTP salary isn't as good as that of Brigadier, but I'll just have to make do :P I'm not too worried, though I am wondering when I'll find out when I ship out.

Thanks for that info though DAA, I was wondering the same thing for my summer arrangements, since I'm probably going to BMOQ this summer.

They want to know if you'll be able to meet your financial obligations with your CF salary. A 900$ debt is really not a big deal. Ideally it'd be better to pay it back if it's still on your record though. Call your bank and see what's up.

Word, I've never been belled for either first year and second year courses. Plus, 3rd year and 4th year courses are often smaller. Though a word of advice, building up a relationship with your profs when you're doing liberal arts can pay hefty dividends when that same prof evaluates your term paper.

Thanks for all the info guys, this is very helpful. I'll see when I get there, for now I'm definitely focusing on finishing my undergrad, but here's to hoping I can do it full time eventually.

Interesting, mind expanding? Is there spots but they are highly competitive, or is it simply something that's not done at all? Or perhaps I'll be way too busy?

This is something that interests me as well. I will be finishing my undergrad (as a ROTP student) in 2 years and then plan on doing my mandatory service for 5 years. However, I'm very much interested in pursuing my Master's in War Studies at Kings College in the UK. I assume I won't be able to...

First of all, if you want to be an officer, learn to use full words and proper grammar. Secondly, there is a sheet available at your recruiting center with every occupation and their preferred and accepted degrees, get a copy of it and start picking where you want to apply/if you want to go to...

Your references aren't the critical part of your application though (Unless you're a secret Jihadist). If you've gone through your interview and did well, they'll get to them, don't worry. EDIT: Yeah, do what DAA said, he's a lot smarter than I am. It's always good to make sure all your...

I don't remember, but my references were verified roughly around the same time I had my interview. This is a pure guess, but I'd say after the medical and CFAT, since DnD probably doesn't like paying money for security checks for people who didn't make the basic cut.

I was definitely allowed to use my friends as references during my own hiring process, at least for the security check. I did get a few contradicting answers (the paperwork contradicted my recruiter), but I put down two and there was no problems. Definitely check up on that, since it can be hard...

It's mostly like Intelligence Officer, officially anyone can apply, but in reality most of the openings are filled with transfers from within, especially since there is high demand for such postings. The recruiting center is simply avoiding wasting your time and that of the bureaucracy.

Changing your occupation choices will normally be handled by your recruiting center, since you are going to do the rest of the process with them, but if you haven't submitted it yet, go for it I guess? It can't hurt to ask if Intelligence is hiring first though.

I did the same thing as you did and ended up being interviewed for only two roles. However it was pretty much a non-issue in my case since Artillery was my first choice. It's always better to have three rather than two (Or so I think at least), especially if you're amongst those who would be...

Confirm whether or not Intelligence is hiring, if it's not (which is very probable), put another choice in.

I don't know what's worse, your bad grammar or the fact you're trying to convert people in the Recruit section of a military website. :facepalm:

Hatchet man has it right. Being an officer means being able to display initiative. It's one of the qualities they'll be looking for, and if you have no idea what you want to do in the forces, you're still far away from actually making the cut as an applicant.

No, you don't have to wear a uniform during your civvy classes, but you are expected to have military bearing when you go see your liaison officer/show up at HQ. That means shaved and with a military haircut.

He wrote BMQ, if he meant Battle School, he should have written Battle School. Accuracy matters, especially when you're trying to give advice to people.
