I hear all the time from people in the forces that the Navy is always needing MARS officers. I hear they have a tough time keeping them because the training is very tough, I guess that I'll see it when I get to that point though. :)

I did not mean that your air crew selection would affect your MARS interview, I said that your ACS would obviously affect what MOC you were given because if you faild (hopefully not) you obviously would not get offered pilot. Sorry that my previous post was confusing. good luck

could you imagine that helmet landing in your back yard?  :warstory:

When you do your interview at the CFRC it is for all of the choices on the application, they ask you about each MOC and all kinds of different questions. They give you the MOC that they have the requirement for, it would also depend on how you did on the air crew selection.

This is what I thought but I wasn't completely sure.

Why would they accept me before I sat said board? They don't accept pilots before aircrew selection. Edit: any MARS officers who went the ROTP route want to give their 2 cents go ahead.

I have never been told that I have to sit a board and it doesn't say anything about it on th recruiting site. I could be wrong, I may yet be in for a surprise.

My mistake. The process for me was like any other applicant applying for any trades that don't require any extra testing. I can't speak for any other entry plan but through my experience in ROTP I have not had to sit a NOAB or have been told about a NOAB. Hope this helps

You don't have to go through this board if you are going the ROTP route. I have been accepted as MARS but I'm afraid that I won't be able to answer your questions as I have not done any training yet.

It all depends on where you are located, if you were posted in Halifax 1 Nelson would be the closest for sea cadets if you lived downtown.

Maybe this pay scale is less confusing for you, as it has each category clearly marked: http://www.recruiting.forces.ca/media/pdf/other/RegularForcePay.pdf

My reserve force application took about 8 months from submission of the application to the swearing in. My application for ROTP took only about 4 - 5 months, but that's because ROTP applications are high priority so they can get the offers out on time. However long it takes don't get discouraged.

The books are my next endeavor after I finish the Sharpe series. The movies are great, I saw the box set at Music World the other day and was so close to buying it. I still don't know why I didn't.

A lot of the guys on my reserve BMQ had IPods and even PSPs and the course staff new about it. One guy even brought his brand new laptop one weekend, he didn't have it out two minutes when a full canteen was accidental thrown at it; totally destroying it. Its up to your own discreation really, I...

That really sucks, I really wanted to see the RHCP in Ottawa and was extremely angry when it was dropped from the tour.

Thanks a lot that was exactly what I was looking for.

I was trying to find out the policy on reg force personnel volunteering with Cadets, is there any process you have to go through? Also does anyone know if RCSCC Centurion or RCSCC Falkland need any volunteers for the upcoming training year? Edited to fix the title

Bonjour, je suis d'Halifax, j'était dans la reserve comme un policier militaire mais j'était accepté dans la marine comme un officier, j'ai bien hate de commencer ma vie dans la force régulaire.

I found this one: http://www.iwm.org.uk/upload/package/20/lifeinww2/eat/eat7.htm

It's usually never a good answer to any order.
