You're right, I confused BMAS and MSS. What ROTP students can go for is the Military and strategic studies program which is pretty much what I described in my earlier post.

It's a standard BA. What differentiates it from other degrees is that since there is no coded independent set of courses for military sciences, the program is a mix of politics, history and psychology courses.

I would disagree about RMC, at least as far as politics and history, are concerned. We are blessed with extremely balanced and objective staff and I've never felt like speech was being stifled in any way. mind you, the nature of the institution does mean tht a lot of cadets will tend to be...

While I understand that this was done in a tongue-in-cheek fashion, I do believe that the idea of merging the Atlantic provinces has merit. I mean, three provincial governments and all the associated overhead for a population of less than 2 million seems absolutely wasteful to me.

Bang on, RMC is a small institution, the undergrad student body doesn't go above a thousand so you can imagine that the arts deps are pretty small. Separate econ and politics departments are simply not warranted at this point.

Allow me to barge in for a minute. If you were to go in as an artsman, you'd be required to complete two program prerequisite math courses. One calculus course and one discreet probability course. Now of course, that is if you're competent enough in basic calculus because you will be evaluated...

I noticed that they used a really old shot of RMC cadets in the library. The students were still wearing the "battledress" pattern jacket.

I beg to differ. It is my belief that immigration is the Panacea to our problems in that case. Fact is most immigrants are indifferent to the debate. My hope is to see the PQ and other separatist formations gradually pushed out of large population centers by the growing allophone population that...

They can pound something else AFAIC. As someone who might one day be in need of medical attention on the battlefield, I pretty much support anything that can help our medics get better training. Brihard said it: It keeps people alive.

Quite true. I have one in my section right now.

Well to be fair, I don't see little Syria being so important a strategic interest as to warrant an armed confrontation between the giants of this world.

shared with the usual caveats http://www.thewhig.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=3528538#.T4Re6RZ1RFI.facebook This came out in the Kingston Whig today, according to the article the principal would also be affected by the cuts which does seem like a strange move. On a lighter note, there's a lot...

Nonsense, they look positively spiffing! Mind you, it' probably the RMC cadet in me trying to rationalize our sticking to the wedge.

Yeah and while we're at it, we can bring back the scarlet battledress and the gorget for junior officers. Now that'll impress the hell out of the Taliban,  ;D

It does make me wonder if the current canadian governement would be willing to participate if war ever broke out between GB and Argentine in the Falklands.

We do have some exchange programs going on with several military academies around the world. To my knowledge these are USMA (westpoint), USAFA, USNA, École de l'Air and some others which I'm not privy to. AFAIC you need to have a decent average (at least high 70s), be in good standing with your...

This is a bit of a sensitive subject, I've been wondering if there are any precedents of people transferring from RMC to Civy U while remaining in the ROTP. Basically, has it been done and can it be done?

Only if we use the original Lyrics. The updated version is terrible.

Throwing around words like "Crude colonial power" or "usurpation" It seems to me that Argentina's politician have taking cues off Ahmadinejad's speeches. That's unusually vitriolic for a country that supposedly wants to negotiate. Also, I fail to see what can be gained through negotiation...
