ROTP Experiences

[avro87]

Hey guys and gals, I was just wondering if some of you who are currently in ROTP or have gone through it (or are just knowledgeable of it) could tell me exactly how it works.  My understanding is you will either go to RMC or go to a civilian university.  I plan to apply this fall, and if I were to be accepted I would prefer to go to a civilian university.  I've been told what happens is the air force will pay for your education, and at the same time pay you every month (you can still work).  Im very curious to find out what you're required to do in the time between schooling (around march to september)?  Basic training? Primary flight training?  On the job training?  Second language training????  What usually happens with that?  Also, I was hoping to do some traveling through the university (go for a semester over seas, I of course would be back, and finish with a degree with an accredited canadian university) .  If I was accepted under ROTP this fall, would they allow me to do the over seas traveling through the university?  What's everybody's general experience with the ROTP, and I'd love feedback on the CEOTP (i think thats what its called), and Direct entry (do your university grades have to be high for that?)??? 

Thanks!
