PRes CT to ROTP

[CadNav]

Hello, I am currently a Pte. (B) in PRes trying to go to ROTP.

The problem is, from what I understand, to keep a pte. pay level, you must be a Pte. (T). The issue is that I won't be doing my DP1 because I'm going to ROTP. I came across something very interesting, however, that is in CFAO 6-1:

From CFAO 6-1 -- ENROLMENT - REGULAR FORCE

RANK ON ENROLMENT

9. Non-Commissioned Members. An applicant for enrolment as an NCM shall be enrolled in the rank of private with the status level of private (recruit) (Pte (R)), except as follows:

• A former cadet of any of the Canadian cadet organizations who has completed three years as a cadet within the previous five years, during which time the cadet has passed a six-week trade or specialty course, shall be enrolled as Pte (R) and be granted a time credit of 180 days for the purposes of determining the date on which the member will become eligible to be paid the rate of pay prescribed for a private, pay level 1, incentive pay category 1.

Note - For Army cadets, qualification as Master Cadet, and for Air cadets, a flying scholarship or two completed summer camp courses, each of two weeks duration, will be considered equivalent to a six-week trade or specialty course. For Sea cadets, two completed summer camp courses will be considered equivalent to a six-week trade or specialty course.

This note section from what I can see says it will be equivalent to a 6 week trade course? What does this mean? Thank you.

It means it's equivalent to a 6 week cadet trade course. If you don't have cadet time this doesn't apply to you.

Sorry I didn't explain well enough
I took 3 summer camps in the Cadets. I was in there for 5 years.

That doesn't make you eligible for Pte(T). It makes you eligible for a Pte IPC credit of 180 days which should have been applied on enrollment. Pte R, B and T are all paid on the same scale.

Ah okay. It's just that If I was a Pte(T) and moved to ROTP I'd still be on pte. pay but since I'm not (and not going to) I'm gonna get Ocdt pay
Thanks.
