That's a good point re continuity on FB. However does it require an outside consultant? Maybe using OJT's isn't ideal, but given the current climate for cutting costs, do we need to be spending $300 dollars a day to have a civi consultant manage 2 FB accounts and a twitter feed for 8 months...

That's a fair point. But it still isn't so complex or time consuming it couldn't be solved another way (rather than hiring a communications firm). You done't need to hire a separate firm to see the hits on your twitter or FB page. In high school, I helped the company I worked for with their FB...

I saw this, and I was fairly surprised. WADR its not that complicated. There are enough young NCM's and officers that could take the time to do the job. I am a OCdt going to university through ROTP. This summer I had a few weeks between course and school starting again so I was employed at...

Just to clarify 2 things that FutureSailor Said: 1: ROTP covers RMC, not just Civi U. OCdt's attending RMC are attending RMC through ROTP as well as students like me, at Civi U. 2: You can apply for RMC even as a second year at a Civi U. In all reality, RMC doesn't often count transfer...

Ooooh so that's how its done! I thought the Pl Comd put a number behind his back and the Section Commanders guessed for closest too... ;D

What MedCorps said is bang on. Speaking from my experience with cadets then the CF and applying as an Officer, it comes down to the maturity and personal qualities you demonstrate. While I don't know with absolute  certainty, the mere fact of having cadets on your resume doesn't distinguish...

Magic erasers, Vim cream, and elbow grease worked like a charm for me.

Agreed!! I'm feeling unloved!

It really is just my opinion. You raise a valid point, it is unproven. But most of us, if we are aiming for a particular civilian job, don't spend the 10+ years in the CF just for that. It is very true that some have done that, but of the OCdts and former OCdts I know, I don't know of any who...

With all due respect Bird Gunner, there are benefits to the program (as I posted earlier).  In regards to the highlighted segment, that doesn't make sense. There aren't that many of us (us, as in young OCdts) who enrolled so that we can get a better civi job. We went through all the same...

That is a fair point. There ARE DEO candidates that do the same thing. Having a DEO VR or be re-coursed on BMOQ-Land (For example) is cheaper for the Forces then having a ROTP OCdt, after 4 years of subsidization, be released  during Phase IV. However that cost is recouped by all the financial...

I am currently a ROTP OCdt at a civilian university. IN MY OPINION, there are pros and cons to the program (both RMC/CMR and Civi U). The pros include giving us experiences from both sides of things, the military and the civilian. We receive  our training during the summers and also OJE during...

Its interesting how viral its gone in 48 hours. People have been re-posting, sharing, and re-tweeting it without looking at it critically. A friend and classmate of mine wrote this. Whatever your view on the "KONY 2012" campaign is, its worth taking the time to see both sides...

Last year it was the 14th of January. Get your application package in today or as soon as possible would be my advice Best of luck!

Awesome Design!! Would be great to have one to jab at my jumper friends!!

Rest in peace Sgt Gilbert. http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Canada/20111028/trenton-soldier-rescue-nunavut-111028/

i was just wondering the regulations on facial hair, ie a mustache for Movember. I am a OCdt attending A civillian university on ROTP, though I am occasionaly on the base. Any guidence, suggestions you could provide would be helpful.

A few words of advice to those applying to ROTP for 2012-13: I am currently a OCdt in the ROTP and am attending a civilian university; 1. Take your time on the application forms and the "essay". If you take your time and do it well, it will set you apart and help you the rest of the way. 2...

Its based on the number the Forces need, then they fill up RMC first. The exception is for degree programs that they don't offer at RMC.

Current numbers for ROTP intake this tear (2011/12) are 229 to RMC, 79 to CMR, and 59 (myself included) to Civvy U.
