Heh, yeah you won...and I was completely wrong!  It will take awhile to get used to seeing the inverted SLt rank, and I'm not going to try guessing about flag ranks.

Canuck1963, No one here has argued your right to say whatever you please because yes, you do have a right to free speech.  In this regard, I frankly don't care what your credentials are, nor what your experience is, because you seem to be pretty bitter towards all of those in the Forces.  You...

CadetPiper, first and foremost, welcome to the forums, and thank you for following the guidelines for searching and grammar! If you are a volunteer in a regimental pipe band (Camerons for you, I think), you can wear the CF uniform without any indication of rank (since cadet rank is not...

Well, I think that the most likely and best example of continuing shipbuilding is the Arleigh Burke class destroyer of the US.  They've been in construction for 20 years, making about 2 per year.  Long production classes are generally constructed by flights with commonalities, and may be...

I believe that CTJJ.Stevenson's intent was just to demonstrate the insignia themselves and not the location of the insignia on the cuff.  Please correct me if I'm wrong. I don't really think that there is much more use in guessing at what the new ranks will look like.  We'll find out soon...

Well, I'm also from 31CBG, and also going into MARS, but I am already in Civvy U at Windsor.  My ROTP Acceptance letter this year said: "Under the terms of the plan, you will be subsidized at the applicable civillian university to odtain your degree.  You will be enrolled in the MOSID 00207...

I too am curious about what the Sea Service Indicator is.  I have a couple of guesses, but they're just that.  Can anyone clue me in?

I was just accepted and am going to UWindsor.  Congratulations, and I hope to see you here!

MARSBA: Thank you for the offer.  I am undergoing a Component Transfer, so it is being dealt with in Ottawa, not through my recruiting centre.  I have sent them an e-mail, and am now waiting for a response.  I'm actually very excited about doing the NOAB, as it seems like it would be a great...

Well, I can imagine how damaging it could be to not get into ROTP, but bear this in mind: General (Ret.) Rick Hillier wasn't accepted into ROTP his first shot.  He applied again for Civvy U and then got accepted.  You can apply again in your second year, and if that fails, you can graduate and...

Hello, I just received acceptance into ROTP as a MARS officer, and it mentioned that the offer is subject to successful completion of the NOAB.  I had gotten the impression that ROTP candidates did not do the NOAB, but given this mention, I'd like to confirm it with the fine gentleman here. ...

Well, on the CT side of things, I got my e-mail of acceptance today!  Congratulations to all those who have already received their acceptances, and to all those still waiting, best of luck!

huggle67: I am in a similar boat in the physical fitness aspect, but I am expecting that as long as you show some signs of activity, it will only matter in the case of a close tie.  Be advised however that fitness is a very important aspect to regular force military life, specifically in the...

I am actually happy to see the return of the executive curl, although I hope this is the first step to an increase of awareness for the Navy's current plight.  Sadly, however, the new budget has already been presented with no funding specified for new vessels, so I'm inclined to think that new...

I'm in a similar boat, applying to ROTP, but currently PRes.  The essentials are thus:  If you are a private: you will be paid as if you had no military service If you are a corporal or greater: you will be paid as if you CT'd into your current trade, at your current rank.  Upon...

Thank you George, that does clear some things up.  I went to the recruiting centre twice, and they spent their time explaining other trades, and giving me very little information specific to MARS.  They tried to push me towards Hot Jobs and also tried to find a more purposeful use of my Computer...

I find forums cause confusion sometimes, so I'll try to give a brief explanation to clarify this thread.  In December, I made this thread concerning PLQ equivalence because I intended to go DEO after university.  I recently decided to consider ROTP.  I created a new thread to gather information...

My intention of posting the short length of time was not meant to say that I am capable as a leader, or incredibly deservant of a commission.  I meant it in that it would not be considered much experience by anyone, including myself.  Assuming it goes through, I would be getting the rank for...

EDIT: I never saw the replies to my thread, so my apologies for starting a new thread.  This is mostly a response to ComdCFRG and HamiltonGS, as well as WWPD.   Also, I am frankly not keen on doing another Basic Course if it can be helped. /EDIT Four things are holding me back from going ROTP...

Hello everyone.  I'm planning on becoming a Reg Force MARS officer, and I'm trying to decide whether ROTP or DEO would be the best course for me. I am currently a Corporal with the Army, specifically a bagpiper.  So to sum up, I'm going from Army, Reserve, NCM, Musician to Navy, Regular...
