Look into the 'PG On Schol' program. A few people out of RMC get into it every year. They get commissioned and then do their Masters .

Browse the jobs you're interested in on forces.ca and look at the educational requirements.  All of the Officer occupations require a degree; some, like engineering occupations, require engineering (or a few specific science) degrees.  Many others accept any undergraduate degree (Infantry...

You'll have some PT sessions in the pool which will require swimming.

I assume the wedding will be on a weekend? After your indoctrination period, and as long as you and/or your platoon don't screw up too badly, you will typically get weekends off.  Some people have to stay behind for duties (course senior/fire picket) but you stand a good chance of avoiding...

If I'm not mistaken, NCM MPs also qualify for spec pay, so they would in fact make more than $4622.  I have no idea if it's spec 1 or spec 2, so I'm not sure what they make. Asking why the NCM makes more than the officer is kind of silly, though; you're comparing apples to oranges.  MP and MPO...

Are these numbers you got regarding CT (as in component transfer, in this case reserves to reg force) spaces? Or ROTP spaces in general?  Because 51 spaces for pilot CTs seems unlikely to me. Also, to address the question: if you look through many of the recruiting threads around here, you'll...

It's entirely possible (and in fact likely, in the case of some MOSIDs) that a newly commissioned 2Lt will have no courses beyond BMOQ completed.  Many Air Force officer courses are too long to do in a summer, so those people will do BMOQ during their first summer after subsidized education...

Years are sometimes a better measurement of length of experience than they are a good indicator of experience quality; I'd be more concerned with accumulating quality experience than I would be with how cool I can make it sound. One reservist may be in for a few years, volunteer for nothing...

Many posters come to these forums looking for guidance as to how to best prepare for their interviews. This link (http://www.11rca.ca/web_pdf/prep.pdf) leads to an excellent interview prep guide, and many people have seen it, eventually coming back and asking if anyone knew where they could...

http://www.11rca.ca/web_pdf/prep.pdf Many times I have posted this link in various threads, and it's a great starting point for interview prep.

In recent years, many people have tried to go the Civ U route and have received offers for RMC.  They tended to be non-negotiable, take it or leave it, kind of offers.  Some occupations, like Nursing Officers, require very specific degrees which are not offered at RMC so everyone accepted for...

Next time feel free to address all the content of my posts, and elaborate a bit.  You've added literally nothing worthwhile to this thread.  You've just earned yourself the first spot on my 'Ignore' list for wasting bandwidth and my time. I stand corrected; thank you for the reference.  We'll...

Then why the need for the re-post?  You can state your opinion on whatever you'd like; however, the number of people who elect to pursue careers as AEC or ACSO after unsuccessful attempts at CAPSS is not a matter of opinion.  It is a verifiable fact, and one I'm sure you don't actually have a...

Well, you didn't get a reaction the first time... So you tried a second time.... I'm not sure what you're looking for here.  Are you making fun of people who fail CAPSS? If so, grow up. Are you trying to offer statistics for the sake of our enlightenment?  If so, ball park figures (like about...

I'm going to give you some friendly advice here so you don't have to hear it later. Ex-reservists at RMC are just like any other group of people at RMC: they vary. A lot of them are capable, experienced, humble and valuable to have around.  These tend to be the guys/gals who are happy to offer...

Nobody told me there had been a Second World War One.  I never trust a journalist who can't write, or editors who can't edit.

The counter-argument to that is that it might be a good thing that he's around to assist the transition of a new pope.  I imagine he won't be involved in the selection of the pope because he is too old to vote in the conclave. Most of the reforms he stymied are not truly reforms, but would be...

Put it on your leave pass and it shouldn't be a problem.  We had people on my course go as far as Toronto, and others went further.  One guy flew somewhere one weekend, but he put in a memo weeks in advance in order to secure permission.

At first, this made me rethink whether or not I thought there was a problem.  But then the OP made me think that, if Ontario (especially Ottawa!) charged extra for touristy things, wouldn't all the Hull/Gatineau residents, and all those frequent visitors (not to mention workers) to Ottawa from...

I would argue that you don't know that, but that it's your opinion and not verifiable.  How could you possibly know what the best combination of having a family and a military career are?  Plenty of people are married when they join, some even with kids, and many of them get along fine.  Many...
