Seconded. I'm 19 at the moment also. My parents and some friends were also thinking me signing up for the military meant I was going to be stolen and go fight in some secret war for sure. In the end, they still were not too keen on me enlisting. Now I have been accepted into the ROTP program...

Thanks for the heads up, I will definitely get in contact ASAP after I sign the dotted line.

I heard of this. A friend at RMC did not get her pay correctly started for a couple of cheques. Thank you for the information. As for this process for payroll, are you contacted about it?

Hehe long overdue help for me. I'm good now. But thanks :) I'm sure others will like the information though.

I thought they looked for 80%+ Average at least and not 70% for RMC anyways.. I must of misread somewhere.

That is what I thought also. Just making sure for I can set up a summer job without hassle.

Does anyone know when ROTP Salary starts? Is it in July? or when you start at your university or at RMC?

Yea, I would look for an off campus apartment or something. Not sure on rent around the London area, but I am sure its under $1200 a month for a single?

Unless it is not recognized I do not see why there would ever be a problem. As long as you are accepted to the Uni of your choice.

That is FYOP (First Year Orientation Period) I am assuming. For you RMC people :P

Odd, I thought that basic starts in 2nd year?

Also, does anyone know If I have to wait for the CF to contact me to deposit my fee and choose courses for my CivvieU? Or can I do that myself right away?

Yea, my switch was fairly easy as well. I just had to rush a Acceptance Letter down to the CFRC Halifax to get it confirmed. :)

Considering I do not have to work for it, that is plentiful. Maybe I will get a 20 hour/week job 2nd semester or something if I am bored or feel like I need more money (If my SEM allows it of course). But I think I can handle that. :) Thank you for the information.

Ok, No she is only a civilian. Well that would be a great help to me if I do get that amount to help pay for rent. That will pretty much tackle my half of the rent. I was expecting it to come out of my $1440. This is getting better everyday haha. Thank you.

So If I am living off-campus in Halifax as CivvyU ROTP I will get an extra $631 for rent?  ??? wow And If so, is this denied if you have a room mate?

Hm, well they told me right off the bat which one I was going to. I was only told that it'll be swear-in time around then. Nothing of Basic Training. I always thought it was 2nd summer we do that.

Yea thanks - a lot easier then I originally thought, and same to you.

Hey all, a little late on responding. Been up in Halifax visiting and have not had a chance to post. I got called on the 4th and was offered ROTP (Land Op's) at CivvieU in Mount Allison University. But I got it switched to Saint Mary's University in Halifax. So I got exactly what I was hoping...

Haha well if I get RMC ill tell them to trade with you. I think it is easier to switch to Civvie U then it is for RMC tho?
