IAP is for all officers ( not just the RMC types) and is hardly an "orientation camp".

Bonfires, marshmallows and campfire songs. 
iper:
Seriously though from what I've heard from the recruiting center it's just enough time to show you how to wear the uniform, do some admin work, some PT, some classes on how things work in the CF, drill, etc.
It's hard to say. It's two weeks.
No, IAP is/was the first 9 weeks of officer basic. I'm not even sure "IAP" still exists anymore.

I have no idea if anyone is going to pay attention to this post, but here it goes anyway.
I was wondering if there were any staff of the 10-22 Aug 09 course for civi U on here, or just people who actually know what they're talking about.
For whatever reason, as my first year in ROTP, I have been told I have to go to this "intro to the military" course, even though I just recently completed my naval reserve BMOQ course earlier this month, which has been deemed equivalent...so my course is transferring and I will not have to do basic again, however they have found it necessary for me to attend a "intro" course lol...
that was just me ranting because I wish I didn't have to waste my time learning the stuff I just learned a month ago again...on to my question. I cannot find anyone who actually knows this, but I have family in the area, and I'm wondering if this was going to be a strict course, or will I be able to get leave and go into the city on the weekends? The outline of the course only lists timings for Monday - Friday, so I'm hoping that I can get off on the weekends. If anyone knows, please let me know
THANKS

I can tell you right now that the schedule is tight and there is no time off on the weekend. If you have done BOMQ already when you do your stuff at your ASU this upcoming week make sure you tell your ULO. There is scope for you to not have to take this course as it really is just a brief intro to the military.
Which one are you attending? The RMC St Jean or Kingston one?

I actually did contact my ULO already, and wrote a memo requesting it off, and Borden replied that even though I have completed BMOQ, this mini camp could still be beneficial to my training...so it sounds like I just ran into some bad luck
