    Afghanistan: Lessons Learned (merged)

    I came across an interesting product called Dyneema. It is less weight than steel inserts and capable of stoping AK47 rounds. http://dyneemamatters.com/inserts?category_id=36

    ROTP 2011-2012

    I am a CT also and I am course loaded for my QL3 in early May. From what I've read, I may not get a letter until I am already on course. Have any previous ROTP applicants on this forum been in a similar situation? If so, what happens when I accept the offer (assuming I am selected) if I am...

    I am attending Memorial also, however I was already told that if I get accepted I will be staying at MUN. Which trade(s) did you apply for?

    ROTP 2011-2012

    I agree with X2012, I was given a document for my optometrist to fill out after I completed my medical in 09. Hopefully I do not need to make another trip after my next medical because I got iLasik done yesterday!  ;D

    ROTP 2011-2012

    I started coaching a hockey team in September and that has been a great experience for me. If you're interested in hockey that is perhaps something you may want to look into for leadership experience.

    ROTP 2011-2012

    As far as I know you need to show ALL academic transcripts (university, college, highschool, etc). You must also have a minimum of three semesters left in your undergraduate program to be eligible for ROTP. While your grades are obviously a factor in your suitability for the program, it is not...

    ROTP 2011-2012

    I put my request for a CT in last Thursday. I was told today to just wait until I  receive an email from Ottawa, which they said may take 6-8 weeks. Gives me plenty of time to work on my essay at least!

    I'm thinking about being a Medical Technician

    My unit last year consisted of 24 members(St. John's detachment), however we would usually have between 6-12 people on any given night due to some people being on deployments, others busy with school, etc. So far in my short career I've had nothing but positive experiences in the reserves. You...

    I'm thinking about being a Medical Technician

    Hey MissLucy72, I joined about a year and a half ago as a med tech in the reserves. My unit is rather small so I'm not sure how relevant this information will be for you however I'll explain what we typically train for when we parade from September-May. From early September until late October...

    Nairna, since my last post on this thread I've done a couple of additional things. I applied to coach a minor hockey team, started playing piano again (not for my application but I think it will be a good thing to add nonetheless) and began training at home. I will be applying for armoured as my...

    What PC Video Game Are You Playing Now?

    I've recently started playing Empire: Total War for PC again. It is a lot of fun if you're into strategy games. I am thinking about getting Napolean: Total War although it looks very similar to Empire. Has anyone here played both of these games? If so do you think it is worth it to buy Napolean?
