Thank you to all those who took their time to read this post. I am 16 years old and want to enroll through the free university education program. However, to be honest, I am not what people will normally consider as fit, although I am of a healthy weight. I wanted to ask all those experienced with the paid university program to answer the following questions and if it's convenient, to leave behind an email which I can send future questions to.
1. What are the fitness requirements one must have to join this program?
I want to ask this question as I noticed that an aptitude test will be taken on fitness.
2. Is life "strict" in the army?
I asked this question because I was once in a cadet program and was told off for smiling-- my default expression.
3. Is it competitive to enroll into the paid education program?
Any statistics like 100 out of 5000 will be perfect if possible. I am also confused with how on the Canadian forces site it mentioned only 15 people will be accepted into the ROTP program, or maybe I misunderstood the statement.
4. Please provide me an example of what the entire paid university program is like from start to joining the forces.
For example, from the application process to serving in the air force. Or until whichever stage you are most familiar with.
5. Am I confusing the ROTP with the paid education program?
6. What are other ways to become a pilot in the Air Force if in the case I am not accepted into the paid education program?
7. Are the courses in the program for really smart people?
This question may sound really juvenile but, truth is, I have an average of high eighties in my school's academic courses. I worry about my grades if the courses at the paid university exceed the level of academics I am used to.
Thanks for reading this message. All answers are appreciated.
Sincerely,
Joely Ho
