No, 9 out of 25 files sent from CFRC London received ROTP offers, thus far. Congrats to all, and remember, it will take a few days or more (starting Monday) to sort out all the offers and make the phone calls! Deep breathes before you start panicking on why you haven't heard yet, then do 10...

If I had a penny for every DND letterhead I've received that had a spelling mistake, I'd own a Breitling watch.  ;D I have previously viewed the spell check button as many in my neighbourhood view the clearly posted 50km/h sign outside my apartment. Lesson learned, and my erring ways have been...

Here's my tip: Every time you feel the need to check for updates, drop and give me 10! That's 120 push-ups already today, good prep for Recruit Camp  8) <<Edited to correct my glaring, although mildly amusing, error.>>

+1!

Just to clarify, recruit camp was approx. 2.5 weeks of training for ROTP students in the first summer after enrollment. It serve as an introduction to the military and currently does not apply towards BMOQ at all. BMOQ currently remains to be 15 weeks long for ROTP students, and the first few...

From personal experience, don't get so hung up on the dates the board is sitting. Everyone has heard every day between now and Christmas, and RC's will all have different ideas. You'll find out within the next month or so up until September if you're getting subsidized. I know it's hell right...

I'd like to know personally, but there's 3 others in my class in the same boat. It's agreed my initial post was poorly worded. Merci pour l'illumination.

I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me on how long summer SLT courses are for ROTP students and when they typically run? It's come to our attention that we need to start thinking about summer courses, OJT, employment, etc. and that it's our responsibility to find it because my area has...

You're right that Recruit Camp is simply a 'welcome to the military' intro. I was part of the first recruit camp, and friends from the year before me didn't have any exposure to military life until after a full year. They enrolled, went to school then BMOQ the following summer. A friend on one...

While BFT is a few years away yet for me, I was curious of a few things: 1) How is getting back in the groove after the large lull from PFT to BFT? After a 2 month break due to weather this winter, I had rust and can only imagine a year+ off. 2) With 2nd and 3rd year ROTP students coursed for...

I live on the west end of London, and it's been fine here all day, but I could see the storm just to the west where it has been sitting. It's 8pm local and it's just starting to snow here and the radar shows the streamers heading our way. I have friends in the reserves here that were called out...

At the recruiting centre in town here, there's almost always a pilot or two waiting for training that are manning the phones  :nod: I'm not sure what rnkelly meant by it, but that just isn't the case. I know plenty of people who have passed ASC and not received pilot offers. On my aircrew...

Thanks for the confirmations and websites. I think I found what I'm looking for at a much cheaper price than ebay at Joe Drouin Enterprises Ltd.

My dad is trying to find a UN cap badge, and I was hoping to get him one for Christmas. He served in Cyprus and Bosnia/Croatia. He lent his badge to someone heading over and never saw it again. He was a M/Cpl at the time, and I'm not sure if they wore the brass version or the fabric. I found a...

I know atleast 8 people on my BMOQ course this summer had kids and/or were single parents across a variety of trades.

Just to clairfy, the degree itself is essentially a business degree with an aviation twist like air economics, history of aviation, human factors and geography to name a few. The difference between the air and ground side is the fact that on top of the regular degree, the air side does civilian...

I'll attempt to reword: If someone were enrolled as a pilot in the CAM program, they could take the groundside portion (no flight costs) and learn to fly on the CF's dime by doing PFT in a summer (ha!) and then BFT after like the normal route of ROTP pilots.

The groundside option of the CAM program is a the same as the flight side, without the ground school or flight school. The tuition is the same price as any other BMOS (business/management) degree at Western. So this degree is essentially a BBA with a focus on commercial aviation and the...

What can I say, my months of working in a clothing store really paid off when it came to folding all my, and ^^ others ^^, clothes for inspections. And do make sure you bring everything. One of the things they like to promote there is everyone being the same when it comes to kit... and since...

Not sure if it's changed this year, but I only had my combats until I went to BMOQ this summer. Some guys at my home unit went in and got their DEU's (the dress uniform) from supply.
