I'm on that course...we are 23 listed on my message, so I'm assuming another (up to) 37 will be joining us, either at 4 weeks in from RMC or 8 weeks in from Mod 1 Bypasses.

Army Vern, what metric size do you wear? I've been having fun with supply trying to get issued any footwear that fits (I'm a metric equivalent to a 240/116) and they don't come near that wide. Even outside providers don't make that size because it is too short for how wide it is. I don't have...

That was the plan, but I'm coming in as a LOG O - Air, and trade training has a minimum 16-24 month backlog (after basic) and is only 10 weeks long forPhase 2 & 3, and then you wait another year and get phase 4. My boss, says there is a slim chance I'll get on the summer 2010 course, so odds are...

So are we allowed to bring moisturizer, facewash, hairspray, hair gel, and conditioner bottles, in addition to the shaving creme, shampoo bottle and bar of soap that is on the list? My husband said they weren't allowed anything beyond shaving creme, bar soap, and shampoo (he went in 2003) and...

5 serials running (all starting between 4 May and 18 May), each have two platoons of roughly 60 men/women each = 620 spots Should be a fun time the first few weeks in may :) By the way, 18 May is Victoria Day...anyone know how they are working around that one?

As an ROTP student your salary is not too high to qualify for OSAP, as the cut off is fairly high (The first time I went to school, I qualified for enough OSAP to cover my tuition and I had made 40k the year before and owned a used car (only worth 8k thank god), but there are many mitigating...

I can confirm those dates are true, saw the course plots through my boss last week. 3 Anglo courses and 2 Franco courses this summer, all officers, no recruits at St Jean this summer from what I've heard. I'm on the 18 May - 28 Aug course and quite excited for it. Coming in as Air Log...anyone...

First of all when you are a Civvy-U student the only thing that the military is truly concerned about (obviously there is more but the jist of it is): 1. You enroll in full time studies and submit the tuition claim 2. you submit claim for Textbooks, PP&S (up to the annual limit) 3. You do the...

Magic, I agree to each their own, but you are not fully correct about the "bilingualism" and "promotional courses" by which I assume you mean OPME's. I will be done all 6 of my OPME's upon graduation and have a EEE profile. A Civvy-U student can attend any university in Canada (student housing...

All members of the forces are eligible for $25,000 for continuing education. Now this does need to approved by your chain of command, but generally as long as you are taking courses with aim of completing a program that has relevances to your trade or future within the CF (bachelors, or post...

Wow this topic really has expanded into many different sub topics, some of which I feel the need to add my two cents. As a mature Civvy-u ROTP student, I can tell you that I am living proof that people 30+ join the forces under the ROTP program. Its not easy to go back to school once you've...

Sorry I didn't put both CMR and RMC separate days, Milmom you are correct, thanks for posting that! What trade are you hoping for Intelligent Design?

Hi Everyone, I also was just sworn in in Toronto on Friday (the 25th of July). I'm a civi-u student (in the middle of 3 year) doing distance-ed through Athabasca at home (CFB Trenton). I've been given the Air Support grouping (only put one option Log -HR) and I was a little surprised there...

I have asked two differnt CFRC's all these questions and got two very very different responces...however they were unanimous as they said that anything past telling us that we have been selected for ROTP is our of their jurisdiction and that's it.... so we resort to the next best thing for...

I am in my last year of university...

I've been told I'll be assigned to a ULO near September and but doesn't ULO stand for University Liason Officer (what the CFRC told me, just wondering)there aren't any in my town (I'm doing distance Civi-U) and yes I'm quite fortunate that I do know enough because of my hubby, but its not his...

Scoutfinch, i see that the tone I was trying to convey didn't come across as I would've hoped. I'm not sitting here bitching, I'm sitting here wondering why was I told one thing and now in a week everything has changed and I was looking for information as to how I can ensure that I'm not going...

Since the first round of acceptances seem to have made their way to some applicants now and there seems to be enough of us who are a bit surprised (maybe shocked or for those who wanted one last summer off, happy) about how we won't be doing IAP this summer and instead will just get sworn in in...

Hey Everyone, I know the topic of non-issued boots has been discussed in several different parts of this forum, but I didn't find an answer to what I was wondering. I have size 6 - EEE (men's size but I'm a girl) feet, so to say the least I have lots of fun finding any shoes (other than sandals...
