I today it is everyones responsibility to stay "clean". Just like its not only the woman's responsibility for birthcontrol. (yep married for a while) I can remember when I first joined the CF and someone caught an STD. It was as if the "clap" was terminal. Then out came Herpes and the attitude...

If you are living and going to school in the States then you just added another step. You will need to get fingerprints from the FBI. This takes 6 to 8 weeks. Also, Reserves are required to "Parade" or meet once a week and at least one weekend a month. If you are willing to do that then it...

I believe they are calling them the "Entitled Generation" They think that because they are here  they deserve everything handed to them without work or effort. I blame it on McDonald's and the "right now" attitude. Sorry Mods off topic correcting for set and drift now!! ;D

The quick and ugly is your looking at ROTP - will not cover less that 2 years of university - must at a recognized CANADIAN University - Must be a program we recognize for that occupation I'd say from your brief post that you would be looking at either an "Operational Officer" Infantry...

I would like to know what Recruiting Centre you went to and who you talked to. If you are being given the wrong or misleading information from a qualified (yes we have to take a course) Recruiter then I'd like to know. In my capacity I can make sure that these Recruiters are reeducated or...

Like I said, if you go down and talk to the Regiment's Recruiter you will know whether to apply to that one or not. Usually here the Recruiter will tell the RC to expect you and we will process you for that Regiment.

In Toronto yes as far as we know. we need a letter from the Regiment CO before we will process a Reserve Officer.

The normal process is for you to go a unit and see if they have any openings then go to the RC and apply for the occupation and unit. Of course you can apply for different trades if you want. Just check with the unit recruiter to see if they have a spot for you. And yes you will have to wait a...

Take in your transcript. The original. We will photocopy it and give it back. Everything helps where ROTP is concerned. Also don't wait too long. All files will have to be in RMC by the start of March.

Okay so I'm NOT losing what's left of my mind.

Why did I just answer this same question on another thread with the same title?

If you are looking at applying to ROTP this year it is going to be very difficult. After 15 Jan we can no longer guarantee that you will be fully processed in time. All files must be in RMC no later than the end of Feb. That means that in one week you have to write CFAT, do a medical and an...

At the CFRC we can not turn you away if you want to submit an application. Just be aware that nothing will happen with it until after 01 Apr if you are not applying for a trade we still have open.

If that's the same vessel I'm thinking about. It sat neglected for years in Halifax harbour. when they started working on it. It was supposed to be a harbour tour ship. As I recall it was hulk then. Must have done a hockeysock worth of work to her. Glad the students and crew are unhurt. It...

A few years ago in Halifax a guy (civvy) was going around having sex with as many women as he could. He had AIDS and infected several. One was a friend of mine. He was tried and found guilty (can't remember the exact charge) He was sent to jail. His lawyer said he should not have to go to jail...

No thanks. Give me the "Sailor Shuffle" any day. Too much foot pounding and screaminig turns me off my soup!! ;D

First of all DO  NOT VR TO GET A NEW TRADE!!!!!!!!! We get a lot of people come in here who were told to VR then just report back to the Recruiting Centre. SOPs are you have to wait 6 months before we will accept an application from you. Then we have to get a hold of your MPRR, then we need to...

Not to mention during the interview convince the MCC they are competent. (I know hard to believe sometimes)

You should be able to download the CFP 265. It's the drill manual. Use it, practice it in your room or get a couple of your platoon mates to go out to he drill deck for a while every night and eventually it will become second nature. There are no quick fixes or easy tricks. Practice is the best...
