Ya, I just wasn't too sure how it worked if on course. I try never to underestimate the CF  ;)

Does that cut into your annual leave allotment?

Ya, I am not exactly sure if you need to be 'authorized for leave' if you just want to screw off for the weekend when there is no training scheduled, i.e. the last few weekends of the course. I am sure they will explain it all to us though.

applied in Oct 05 going on course Jan 07. Good thing I am only a component transfer other wise it wouldn't have been as quick. *sigh*

Probably have the weekend off in between BOTP and SLT.

Wow, it's almost as if the SLT is timed to start as soon as January IAP/BOTC is done and all the new 2LTs will be looking to get onto SLT. What are the chances? The CF has been scheduling courses for a long time now. Have faith in them. I am already watching French TV and reading French...

Just so you know, the CF looks at a lot more than marks when considering your application. Stuff like sports, extra curricular activities, leadership....etc are all important. I am living proof that you can get into DEO with pretty pathetic marks.

Well, it took me many many many months. Maybe was just special though.

I am going to put a picture of myself, I have no one else.

Thank you all for your replies. I guess the short version is 'DND can do whatever it wants' I don't start getting paid till I am in St. Jean in January, hopefully it will be resolved by then. I won't spend the money, I mean it's not like I can spend a lot of money while at IAP/BOTC in St.Jean...

So I searched but I had trouble knowing what to search for. Here is my story. I have been the the reserves(aka the SAS - Saturdays And Sundays) for 5 years, with a combined total of one year of ED&T. I am going regs and got my DEO offer (yay me!). They offered me 'PI FOUR IC' in accordance...

For class A: If you don't sign a pay sheet you don't get paid Class B and C: You should get only paid for the dates on your contract.

Well, after googling some pilot shops for helmets and looking up the specs, it appears that helmets (at least the civilian ones I saw) use impact resitant polycarbonate lenses. Polycarbonate is the same stuff they make safety glasses out of. I would assume mil-spec visors to be just as strong if...

IAP joining instructions for St. Jean(PDF) Here it is again. These are the joining instructions, they will explain everything you need to know. You should also get a hard copy of the most recent joining instructions from your recruiting centre. READ THROUGH IT ALL. Almost all questions you have...

I thought the whole idea behind joining the reserves was trying to become more competitive for your ROTP application. If you apply for the reserves now you might be able to make some of the full time summer courses the reserve units have. If you just wait to apply again for ROTP nothing will...

Ya, you have to use IE for some reason. I think it has to do with all the flash that is on that website.

IAP joining instructions for St. Jean(PDF) St. Jean Website, I recommend you go through it all, especially the 'are you ready' section. There is also a weekly schedule for the IAP and BOTC. I don't know how up to date it is but it should give you a bit of an idea what you will be learning. Cheers.

Your best bet is to call up a recruiting centre and ask. cheers.

It's true. It's been over a year since I walked into the recruiting centre and most of the people there still know my first name when I call. In fact in my computer file says that I am persistent and anxious but highly understanding. That is the key, call and ask but be very understanding and...

I would conclude the same. It's a computer game that more or less just messes with you, kind of fun. None of the tests you can prepare or study for. The only suggestion I have is don't drink the night before and get some rest, that will help a bit with the cognitive test. From what I remember...
