Nope, July now.  OTU in Sept I hope.  I was hoping to escape writing the new course...  :P

I find that kind of funny.  No fitness goals come to my mind where they would cause difficulty reaching level 6 on the 20MSR.  IME, the more honest answer is that most people care about little more than passing the EXPRES Test.

For Legal Officer you're looking for MLTP, not ROTP.  I'm not certain if you can be directly recruited into MLTP, the people I've heard of in that program were all re-musters from other Officer trades.  Your recruiting centre will be able to help with this. You may get credit for some IB...

Last I heard there might be one delivered mid April (806).  I even saw pictures of it painted (though incorrectly)  ;).  Maybe it will beat me to Shearwater this APS.

It's very difficult to say how many ACSO spots are open right now.  AFAIK, pilot is currently closed to most entry programs, but the number of people being recruited into trades does depend on entry programs (ROTP, DEO, CEOTP, etc).  The only ones that know for sure are the recruiting office and...

First off, I find it unlikely that officers entering on ROTP get the "top jobs", whatever the "top jobs" are.  If you mean that they get more pilot slots per capita than DEO, CEOTP, UTPNCM, CFR, etc. I also find that unlikely.  IME recruiters sometimes give out incorrect information.  Anyway...

It somewhat depends on what airframe you wind up flying on.  Maritime helicopter guys probably deploy the most on average, but it will also depend if you get other deployments (such as Afghanistan or a UN deployment) which you can get no matter what airframe you're on.  A buddy of mine on Sea...

It looks similar, but not identical and the principle is the same.  When I ran the 20 MSR this year I timed it on my stopwatch and I hit the completion of each level almost exactly on each minute (a few seconds either way).  When I hit 10.5 it was almost right on 10:30.  I think that likely some...

We've been directed at 1CFFTS that throughput is going to increase dramatically in 2011.  We'll have to run 7 courses with 8 students and have been told these will all be slots for Canadians.  Based on historical completion rates I believe this is supposed to produce somewhere hear 45 ACSOs per...

There are other ways if you have a scholarship (e.g. Post-Graduate Degree on Scholarship), but the CF doesn't cover any education expenses, only your pay.  I did it this way with an NSERC scholarship and with the university top up the education funding was far higher than it would have been if...

It is somewhat dated an inaccurate.  I haven't seen anyone other than people enrolled under ROTP have Phase II come through 1CFFTS (formerly CFANS).  I could ask the ACSO SET guy from CFS tomorrow... I'm sure he'll be by the school. Additionally the Phase IV course here at 1CFFTS is being...

You can find many policies in which sense has not been applied. If you've ever been to a kickboxing match (or watched K1 or anything) and have seen a Tae Kwon Do competition you'd see there's a gigantic difference.  When I was training Muay Thai in college I went to the Tae Kwon Do nationals...

People should definitely refer to the Canforgen from this year on extreme sports.  It specifically lists several sports as not being approved.  Obviously this would have implications if you are injured while participating in these sports.  People should also indicate any and all sports that they...

This is something you'll have to get on quickly.  I did my M.Sc. through the Post-Graduate Degree on Scholarship program straight out of ROTP (RMC).  From what I recall the deadline to apply (to NDHQ) was sometime in October.  After that you have to secure a scholarship from an approved list of...

Congrats.  Any idea when you'll be loaded on a course at 1 CFFTS?

There are ways you can incur additional obligatory service when you are serving out obligatory service as others have said.  I incurred obligatory service for post-grad while still serving obligatory service for my under-grad schooling.  Of course your current obligatory service isn't served...

I don't think I've heard of anyone failing the grip strength test.  As to what you asked: Deadlift: 365 lbs x 7 (last week, predicted 1rm around 440 lbs) Grip Strength : ~180 lbs (last October)

No, it's actually because it was one of 100 recommendations in then-MND Douglas Young's "Report to the Prime Minister on the Leadership and Management of the Canadian Forces" following the "Somalia Affair" (released 25 May 1997).  The PM accepted all of the recommendations.

They are simply paid their hourly rate as would happen with any other client they are seeing. 

From all of my experience the CF uses civilian Psychologists and if members require those services they are referred out.  Prior to my wife's release she was seeing a psychologist and was referred to a civilian group downtown.  As mentioned above PSO is the only classification specific to a...
