I'm questioning if those numbers are the national numbers or not. Rumours fly all over the place in the recruiting forum. As for the ROTP candidates- can't they only train in the summers?

Someone who knows this stuff better would be able to answer this, but those numbers seem awfully low. Why would the run a course for 3 Inf O's? Or maybe they just expect them to wait forever for their courses?

yeah it's a pretty recent change. The word I'm hearing though is that there are very few spots.

I can confirm that, I was told that Inf O (and I think he was implying my other choices, Armour O, Arty O) have opened. He wouldn't give me any idea of numbers, and I didn't ask about selection dates though.

I'm a little confused- did you apply as DEO or ROTP? I'm not sure you're eligible as a DEO. As was suggested, ROTP would be your option I think. As for that to expect from the CFNRCC: Right now, long wait times for processing as they're backlogged (but apparently getting some help with that...

That said, I don't think DEO spots are directly tied to ROTP either. While I obviously have no inside knowledge of the system, they could very likely always fill up every officer position with ROTP applicants (though perhaps not of the highest quality) if they really wanted to. So I don't think...

These things are usually hearsay, but I believe there was just some selections recently, and will be more at the end of this month. If this is true, you'll probably miss them. Since your GED test is so soon, my personal inclination would be to wait to send it in then (if you are in fact going...

Yes, you can update your application with new credentials. As for everything else, I, like the others, am confused by your situation.

It's been said enough, but take care of your schooling first- it can only help you. If you do, what's the worst case scenario? You get your dream job with the CF and have to eat a bit of wasted money for school that year. In the grand scheme of things, not so bad.

I agree. Being the right type of person for the job is the most important. Degrees won't get you the job, nor will memorizing every unit/weapon in the CF or your year in Krakow learning Polish. What these seemingly irrelevant things will help with though is separating you from the all the other...

Hm, I had no idea that a blood test was part of the medical. Thought it was just urine.

National Recruiting Center. He said he has no idea whether or not it'll open up this year- he kind of implied no one knows what future numbers will be like. I wouldn't hold my breath for this fiscal year at least though.

Just got the word that Infantry, Armour, and Artillery DEO are all closed at this time.

Your most reliable source would probably be the National Recruiting Center. At least for my trade, people seem to be hearing different things from different RCs. Maybe that's because people are at different stages in the process, I don't know. I'd say just call the NB office about any trade...

Ha, I know we talked about this via PM, but for the sake of the discussion I'll post in here too. From what I understand, while the Combat Arms is pretty full up, the situation is still (a little) better for officers than it is for NCMs. While there are some spots this year for NCMs, you'll be...

For what it's worth, I've had luck calling early- around 9am.

No, it's not. You're right, each case is individual, but a responsible doctor (not one just looking for a payday) would advise a patient to wait until early to mid twenties. It doesn't mean it can't work out, especially by 21 things would probably be just fine. It just means they should probably...

Yeah was going to say this. You don't want to go to some hack, and a responsible doctor should tell you to wait until around 24-26ish.

Admire the dedication man, and I'm sure the CF will too. Just keep it up and do everything you can to prove yourself. You're a great example for those around here who throw up their hands and whine when their application for the Infantry sits for 4 months.
