This is something I encountered with RMC, but nowhere else. Basically, when you fill out your application form, and you put in an application to RMC, RMC assesses your eligibility/admissibility. The paperwork you receive is more than "proof of application," since it is given after you apply, but...

George, I am going to have to disagree very firmly in both cases. WARNING: ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE TO FOLLOW On one hand, I have seen several clerks who progressed to chief clerk, as you stated, who have been phenomenal clerks and who made sure you were entitled to everything you were entitled to...

Is the individual on call?

This is, by my experience, accurate. You will be posted to your home station (Kingston) and once there is a spot on course (could be days, weeks, or in my case 2 years) you will be course loaded.

Experiences may vary on this one, especially depending on your trade. For ACISS, what I have NORMALLY seen happen (this doesn't mean that it WILL happen), is that you will be pushed to Kingston to sit on PAT (essentially what RedcapRemuster said was accurate here). Following that, you will...

I thought I would bring this up: as far as the weighting goes I have my doubts. I was a Signals trade before, and my recruiter told me she only recommended me for one trade (int) as I had done it previously, and that she would NOT recommend me of the other trades selected (ARMD, ARTY) That being...

Short answer: No. Longer answer is, the requirement explicitly states two full university credits. Now you do have some options with regards to this, you could apply (as an NCM) to RMC, or take courses through the University of Athabasca. You could also go to (someone correct me if I am...

Thanks Sledge & Skeletor, having dealt mostly with the Army, I found it quite the sight! I actually like the idea of qualification badges on a work uniform!

I have a follow-on question to this: recently, while visiting NDHQ (shudder) I saw something quite unordinary, even for NDHQ. There was a PO1 with his Naval jacket (I.e. the black NCD jacket) with his red jump wings stitched to the outside of it. Now I have never seen any other qualification...

Yup, it is definitely going to be a big change from Comm Rsch!

Yup, I was notified as of 1 May that I had been accepted for ARMD. OCdt effective 1 July, posting as of 15 July. Posted to Queen's. Tried for RMC, but in the end they (D Mil C) approved Queen's.

Dude -- I am by no means being a dick here, but let's analyze this situation (from your own post): a) You informed the recruiter (and he saw it); b) You informed the medical examiner (and her saw it); c) They offered you a job. If you haven't gathered where I am going with this, its fine...

You are going to hear a variety of answers on this one, and as the old saying goes: your time between your initial Phase I training and your Phase II training is largely what you make of it. There are some who are more than content to sit around day-in and day-out and do very little. However...

Seconded

I will be honest in this, I truly do not have a problem with the Mk IIIs, and I have wide and flat feet. That being said, I was issued the Mk IVs, and I absolutely despise them. They leak water (and I am not the only one to make that comment), they do not suppose my feet, but they do offer me...

That is... I don't really have words for it...  ???

dapaterson -- Cheers for the info! As I said before, the whole IRP thing is a mystical box to me. Thanks again!

Yeah, I have always thought those massive walls of caps-lock text that are CANFORGENs were exceptionally well formatted for ease of readability  ;D I also thought it odd that, considering it was the TB that was (rightfully) correcting a deficency regarding the unauthorized benefits, I was...
