I have quite a large list of questions prepared for when I actually go to apply for the RegForce(Next year). Plus, there is information in the mail, as well as the many questions I've already submitted online. However, I'd prefer to avoid question asking to the local Reserve unit I'll be joining this coming fall(Mainly because the only things they can answer pertains to the Royal Newfoundland Regiment(Light Infantry)). Plus, the nearest Recruiting Center is approximately a 2 hour drive away.
If you are joining the local Reserve unit, then they are the ones who you should be asking the questions, as they are the ones who have the answers.

The other option is(of course) calling in. But, I'd prefer not to waste their time with a large list of questions, and keep most of the questions for the Recruiting Center next year.
If that is what you think, then you are wasting someone else's time, in not doing so. Six of one, half dozen of another.

I meant taking part in a CO-OP program while going through the ROTP. I know exactly what the CO-OP program is, what it does, how it does it and why, and that I would most likely be eligible. I was curious on if it is possible to take CO-OP as some sort of academic opportunity that could count as education instead of doing what ever an OCDT does in the summer before they get their degree.
Where to start with this one. You say you already know all about the CO-OP program, what it does, how it does it and why, and that you would most likely be eligible. Then why ask if it is possible to take CO-OP as some sort of academic opportunity that would count towards an education? Obviously you don't know, or you wouldn't ask.
Cutting to the chase. No, the CO-OP program will not give you academic credits towards a university degree. If you are joining a Reserve unit, could you further explain your comments on ROTP, as it doesn't sound like you know what you are talking about there either? The CO-OP program is for High School students. As for summer training, well suck it up buttercup, you are going to have to do all that Infantry stuff in Gagetown to qualify to be an officer in the Royal Newfoundland Regiment. Life is not going to offer you a Commission on a Silver Platter.
I would suggest that you stop now. Search the site for topics on Education, Education Reimbursement, Reserve Force Officer Programs, RESO, etc. and you may be surprised at what you did not learn in the Cadet Program.
Right now you are getting close to spamming with your shotgun technique. Figure out what you want to do first, then write it down in a coherent fashion, review what your wrote and then think about posting it, if you don't contact the people who really have the most up to date answers to those questions first.
