Releasing from ROTP, and then reapplying

[chris_log]

As I understand 'the process' ... it IS someone in the CofC at RMC that makes the final call as to Whom is going to RMC and whom is going to CivviU ... so asking the Director of Cadets is probably the best way to approach the situation, with the best possibility of getting some sort of 'transfer' to CivvieU.

It's just my best guess, but with what I've seen at the CFRC, getting out and then trying to re-apply to ROTP is going to get you nothing but grief. Fairly or not, you will be assumed to be a 'quitter' and I question your ability to get back in to the ROTP program once you've dropped out once.

But again, that's just my opinion ... it really will depend on your CFRC, Interviewer and whomever is reading your ROTP application. I still recommend trying to stay in the program and just transfer to CivvieU.

Good Luck either way ...

I don't think the Commandant or anyone else at RMC has any say over who goes to RMC and who doesn't. Thats what the recruiting system is for.

Nope, the Recruiting system decides who may join the CF ... we send all of the ROTP applications off to someone in the RMC CofC and they send back thier decision as to whom is going to RMC, CivvieU or isn't getting a ROTP offer.

News to me. I didn't realise that RMC gets to decide whom receives the 'honour' of attending charm school.

Are you sure it's RMC and not a different org? I went through ROTP but at no time was I under the control of RMC, it just seems odd that RMC decides whom attends and who doesn't instead. I realise you're a recruiter (according to your profile) and if anyone was aware it would be you, it just sounds odd to me.

I am currently a recruiter ... and no, I cannot say with 100% certainty that it is 'RMC' that makes the decision, I'd have to actually ask the clerks to confirm, but I DO know we fax all the ROTP application paperwork off to SOMEONE in the RMC / CFLRS / Training 'system' who then tells us who gets an offer for RMC, who gets offered CivU and who is unqualified / uncompetitive.

If it REALLY matters who exactly gets to make the decision, I can ask for you tomorrow at work ... maybe I AM mistaken and the actual decision is made by George Wallace.
