    ROTP at Civilian University 2004 - 2018 [Merged]

    People get into RMC with mid to high 60's so a low 80's average is pretty good if the rest of your application is well rounded (IE:sports, volunteering etc.) That's not to say not to aim higher but a low 80's average is pretty average and not on the low end. Key word is average, if you can get...

    Do ROTP officers need to do the physical test?

    This probably won't be true anymore as they've reduced the amount of PPT's to two instead of three.

    NO FRENCH For Married Pilots out of BMOQ

    Go on a trip to Ottawa if your so desperate... I found the QM at CFLRS to be quite good for the year I used their services.

    ROTP 2011-2012

    You will be required to pass the CF Express Test during Recruit Camp. Once at RMC, you will be required to pass the PPT test. If you do not pass the PPT, you will be put on supplemental PT four times a week from 0530 to 0700. Don't fail it or else your life sucks.

    Entering RMC this fall! (2011)

    I did my first year at RMCSJ and then transferred over to RMC so I can speak to that. The transfer between the schools is a lot smoother now then it was when I first did it two years ago but you will still obviously have some adjusting to do. In terms of how they decide who goes to RMCSJ vs RMC...

    How important is bilingualism when applying for ROTP?

    In theory yes, in reality not so much. Almost all verbal communication is done in English and emails are usually bilingual. It's small classes of around 10 people. You have SLT (Second Language Training) classes one hour a day everyday (minus weekends) until you are functionally bilingual...

    Officer career route - first 5 years

    That in itself is a huge problem. As a member of the Canadian Forces you must be willing to relocate to anywhere in the country at any time. There is absolutely no guarantee you will get posted to Esquimalt after BMOQ or even if you did you may find yourself moving to *insert random city* 4 or 5...

    ROTP 2011-2012

    Yes there can be some animosity between RMC and Queens people. Yes some women won't even talk to you if you go to RMC but it's certainly not the majority. I know quite a few people at RMC who have Queen's girlfriends so it's not uncommon at all. Besides Queens their is also St-Lawrence College...

    Cadet number?

    It`s been converted to DAOD 5002-1 (http://www.admfincs.forces.gc.ca/dao-doa/5000/5002-1-eng.asp). Their is nothing in that document mentions anything about pay incentives for former cadets. Although something tells me that their has to be more then a CATO to back up the cadet pay incentive.

    Cadet number?

    Oops forgot that last paragraph. I believe it would be to keep it in line with what the air cadets and sea cadets have to get to be eligible for the incentive.

    Cadet number?

    http://www.cadets.ca/coats-saioc/cato-oaic/cato_oaic.aspx?id=102571 So it`s six month incentive towards your first pay increment for NCM`s. Their is no incentive for officer applicants.
