If you're hurt during FYOP you will receive required medical attention and a medical 'chit' (a piece of paper indicating your limitations).  Whether it's fair or not, there is often a stigma about people who 'chit out' of PT or other physically demanding exercises. This is unrelated to your...

Everything depends on the nature and severity of the injury.  Your parents advice is good- while the risk of injury in BJJ is relatively small, the potential is certainly there.  If I were you/when I was in your position, I wasn't about to risk my career for a hobby, no matter how much I...

Yes. This is hardly in line with the Commandant's intent, or the ideal we should be presenting to future cadets.  People should come here ready and willing to work hard and excel in every area. Correct.  Others will not graduate in Scarlets because they will not complete the requirements in...

1) Your info is misleading and incorrect.  E-veritas is the RMC Club Foundation newsletter- in other words, the online newsletter for the Alumni association of RMC. That is your official source- an alumni newsletter. 2) I don't think you actually understand what being a Warrant Officer means...

Your opinion is nice.  Do you happen to know what the opinion of the recruiters is?  Because I believe that is what the OP was looking for, based on the title of this thread.  He wanted to know what grade average to strive for. Also you assume that you have to sacrifice extra-curriculars in...

If you spend some time reading the 'ROTP, RMC, CMR' sub-forum you would see that many people have already received offers for ROTP at either RMC or Civ U, which answers question #1: Yes, the first round has taken place. Your second question will be met by hearsay and conjecture.  Many people...

Try looking it up on this website.  This information has been posted multiple times in this thread already.  I provided a lengthy description of the 2-week orientation course (NOT to be confused with basic training) that you will be doing.  Your swearing in ceremony will be scheduled by your...

This past year's orientation course had OCdts arriving over a period of 3 days prior to the actual start of the mini-course.  It's possible that, depending on your location, your local CFRC has determined you will arrive on the 7th, with the orientation beginning on the 8th.  It's also possible...

He said he received joining instructions, not an offer. Joining instructions are a set of instructions regarding what to do prior to and upon arrival at wherever you're arriving, and either accompany or follow an offer. I assume this poster already had an enough, and just received their...

I don't mean to be mean, but when I read your post, I connect these three highlighted parts.  You don't consider the interview a big deal, yet you got turned down once and are now waiting again.  Is there a connection, maybe?  The interview is a huge deal.  The interview is the opportunity you...

Incorrect. At RMC, first year arts students study a common curriculum of 'core courses.'  Upon completion of first year, OCdts at RMC (and incoming from St. Jean) will select a program to major in from those programs offered by the Arts department. So basically, at RMC, you have a whole  year...

In a perfect world, that would be the case, as well as every skill that they acquire would be 100% non-perishable. ROTP Cadets generally complete BMOQ during their summer after 1st year.  After that, it could be anything.  Many will do SLT for one or two summers in order to get their BBB...

80% shouldn't be your target.  95-100 should be your target.  Don't settle for less than your capable of.  Should you ever serve in the CF, your co-workers and taxpayers deserve a better attitude.

PM Inbound.

The answer has already been spelled out for you: better than the other guys.  Your entire application will be weighed against all the other applicants.  You will be placed on a list where you are ranked by a 'military potential' score which is calculated using the results from your CFAT...

As to be expected, mileage may vary!  Each staff will have a different character which will define the course.  Ours were pretty hard on us until the last day or so, while others spoke of theirs differently.

Plenty of people are BMQ qualified and still have to go to CFLRS for a few weeks (5 or 7, I don't remember off the top of my head) in order to get the BMOQ qualification.  Unless you have your PLQ, I don't believe you get to bypass BMOQ.  Someone might be able to confirm/clarify this, but my...

There are many posts on these forums describing what the 2 week orientation is like- unfortunately, they're probably buried in the middle of thick threads like this one. I did it.  What would you like to know? Your first few days, you'll feel a bit out of place because you'll be walking...

Another post to take with a grain of salt.  Your assumptions and casual acceptance of hearsay make everything you post vulnerable to error. I was certainly not top of my class and I'm positive that many of the people who got in weren't either.  I'm also willing to bet that by and large, many...

1) No, you will not look like you're trying too hard.  You'll look professional, and you're interviewing to become a professional.  A suit is not over-dressed for a CF interview.  I wore one and I got in. 2) I'm sure that when you ask for 'normal' you're going to get a bunch of different...
