Reg force officer candidates do a 15 week BMOQ, followed by BMOQ-L if they are army, or if their particular occupation requires it (MPO, CELE, etc.). You won't be doing more training than a reg force officer. If you do a weekend BMOQ, then some would argue that you actually do substantially...

FYOP = RMC First Year Orientation Period OP = CMR Orientation Period Having never done OP, all I can say is they're both mini-bootcamps which culminate in an epic obstacle course. Consensus seems to be that FYOP is harder than OP, but first year at CMR is harder than RMC because 'seniors'...

Probably a classic case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing. Get used to it; in an organization as big as the CAF, and CERTAINLY during your time at CMR/RMC, this will continue to be the case.

Based on what we (people currently at RMC) know, this statement is true.

Might seem like a technicality to you, but you won't be doing FYOP.  If you're attending CMR, you'll be doing OP.  RMC does FYOP. Cheers.

You probably could.  In the CAF, we call it 'initiative.' Very good skill to have in your future career.

Once you're enrolled, you will eventually have contact with a ULO (University Liaison Officer) or their clerk; they will be able to provide guidance and will essentially function as your chain of command.  Inform them that you would like to work (some may require a memo, others will be satisfied...

The only people who can provide good info on this are people with firsthand knowledge.  You'll likely find 0 in this thread, and the best place to ask is your recruiting center. If you trust what you hear (either here on the forum, through friends, or sometimes even from recruiters), you'll be...

Based on what I've read so far, I'm inclined to disagree.  If you get in, let me know what your BMQ staff think of your attitude. If you're not here to brag about fitness, then why are you bragging about fitness?  Also, you should 'have' ('should of' makes no sense) just ignored it.  If you...

What I've gathered from reading the 4 pages of this thread is the following: 1) The OP thinks that a larger applicant pool is better for the CAF, and feels that this is an indisputable fact, and that everyone who disagrees with him is as ridiculous as someone saying that the Earth isn't round...

I guarantee that you're not going to get better info from an online forum than from seeking to clarify with the recruiting center when it comes to your application.

First years don't bite people's heads off.  They've still got a whole summer of BMOQ, and getting their own heads bitten off, to look forward to.

Not quite.  The only ones I know either have former Reg F or Res time as NCMs with their PLQ/equivalent course done.  I don't know of any who were in the reserves as OCdts.

99.9% BMOQ is done (barring injury, etc.) in the summer immediately following the first academic year. With Otter Sqn fizzling out, the only people getting BMOQ bypasses will be CT's with enough time in to bypass all of BMOQ.  Most CT's bypass a few weeks of BMOQ; IIRC, they end up doing an 8...

The content of the article deals more with the structure of the governance of the college, and the tension between academic freedom and federal oversight, than it does with cost-cutting.  Budget reduction is simply the stage upon which this conflict is being analyzed.

If you didn't get your answers through the official channels you pursued, than I highly doubt you're going to do any better searching on an internet forum; besides, if you did get answers here, why would you trust them at all, if even people handling your application couldn't answer your...

I'm not on the team, so I don't have hard numbers and my info is only from what I hear from my peers. Some people arrive having been 'recruited' to the team, which obviously reduces the available spaces for try-out walk-ons; that being said, I know a few people who simply showed up for try-outs...

Can't wait to see the answers to this one.... :pop:

I'm with PuckChaser for the most part.  The fitness standards are freely available on the internet, and everyone has every opportunity to know what level of fitness they require before joining.  Onus is on them to reach (or exceed) that standard before they get there- besides, the EXPRES test is...

Until you've signed the dotted line, live as if you're not getting an offer, because you might not be getting one. If you have an offer you would like to accept in the event of RMC/ROTP denying you, and they need an answer before you expect to hear from ROTP/RMC selection, then accept the...
