Bang on - on both points. RMC N/OCdts get the shorter course due in part to some of the mil training provided at RMC. (FYOP - the 5 week RMC indoc period - counts for most of that.)

Any reason why the dives were done right next to the fueling jetty?

It's too bad Montreal isn't stopping too, but I guess Kingston doesn't have adequate berthing for something that size.

If you've already got a degree, I'd caution you against wanting the "RMC experience."

Dude, you got it all wrong. Zimbabwe, at 3.8% GDP, is spending more than both Canada and Japan!  ::) The percentages of GDP expenditure do not mean a damn thing. Let me give you a quick lesson. In international relations, hard power (as opposed to soft power a la McDonald's) is primarily...

While you're right CA, PLAR might be the OPs only avenue of approach. PLAR, being an authority on matters related to TRG, would be able to set jlf6's TrgO straight. (in a friendly sort of way)

Your TrgO sounds like quite the guy. (Awesome leader much?) IMO, as far as correcting the error of his ways, see if you can contact someone else who is versed in the ways of the training system, and get your TrgO to talk to the 3rd party. While getting PLAR to help you out should not be...

Unless things have changed in the 3 years since I applied, you apply to a Faculty for your first year. On the whole, first year arts students are grouped together in the same classes regardless of major, and the same is done for first year science and engineering students. So, to answer your...

A cursory search of the forces.ca site reveals: HQ & B Sqn SALH 20th Field Reg't RCA 41 CER LER (4PPCLI) 41 Svc Bn 408 Sqn Reserve Flight 15 Fd Amb 745 Comm Sqn 6 Int Coy As an aside, Edmonton has very well rounded representation of the PRes.

Between the 13 ROTP Sqns + Otter Sqn we have between 950-1050. Sure we could bump Cmdre Truelove to Cdr, but them you'd have to bump DCdts down to Maj, all the division commanders down to Capt, and demote all the Squad bosses to Lt/SLt. You could even completely get rid of the Sqn Comds, and...

RMC is simple, and not difficult if you push yourself early on. If you think you can't hack it at the charm school, mil life may not be for you. RMC is only the beginning.

1) Write why your Civvy U is a better choice than RMC. The differences in student lifestyle is a big one. 2) This has been answered for you. 3) To give you an idea, my application was handed in Nov '07, my interview was Dec '07. 4) It depends on the other applicants applying in your...

Yeah, we live in a bubble here, for better (long term) and for worse (short term). Just expect it to be difficult, and it will be easier for you to get acclimatised.

During FYOP, no. But what do I know? FYOP seems to get weaker and weaker every year... After FYOP you will be allowed to (almost) live normally. You'll still have a strict room standard, but it can be beaten easily; just ensure your room is up to standard during the week days. Weekends, you can...

I just recently got a chit from Physio saying that I need custom footwear. When I was at clothing stores the civvie behind the counter told me that the people who make the foot molds wouldn't be coming in for another 4 weeks, and that it would take another 6 weeks for the custom GPs to be made...

Damn! The way I see it (aside from the obvious use of the curl with NCdt mess dress), if they're willing to bastardize SLt insignia by inverting it, they might as well continue on bastardizing by giving me (and my fellow NCdts) a wee little curl. :2c:

It should be up to the NCMs to decide. If a growing element within the naval NCM body wants a return to square rig style dress, then due attention should be paid. Likewise, if reaction to such implementation was to be negative. And I debate the cost savings that you think would be had. It would...

I wonder what the new Flag Officer shoulder boards will look like. IMO, they look very sharp as they stand now. Now on to something else: I know I might be beating a dead horse here, but I really hope that NCdts are included in the rank redux. It just doesn't make any sense to have Elliot's Eye...

Ron MacLean is the Hon Col of which Sqn? I searched, but didn't come up with an official sources.

Only 2 went too BC as per the article. Chances are this fleet you saw is spread across the country.
