I was appointed to OCdt on the 1st of July, and will be doing OJT at RMC until the 15th of Aug. After Aug 15th it's off to Ottawa to clear in to ULO, leave, and finally to start my engineering program at Carleton on the 3rd of Sept. It's been a very long road to reach this point, but for those...

It seems that the non-selection messages are starting to arrive. Sorry to all those that didn't make it this year.

After some thought I decided on computer systems, which is certainly a new topic, especially considering my NDT background. Have fun until September.

For all those that have been selected, have you been offered OJT in your future trades this Summer? As for myself, I have been offered no further information in regards to my summer employment besides knowing that my current position is going to be filled after I leave for school.

Congratulations. Do you know if it was a first or second round message. Either way see you at Carleton sometime in the Fall.

Concerning TOS, make sure your orderly room is aware that you require enough to take you to 01 July 2022. According to DMIL C, you will not receive an official posting message until Peoplesoft reflects your new TOS. As well, if new TOS is required, expect at least 2-4 weeks to have all the...

For those applicants that do not have terms of service to carry them through to 01 July 2022, I would recommend that they prod their orderly rooms to start the TOS application. If you get your acceptance offer, you will only have until 01 July to ensure that you have current TOS. As I found out...

All officer occupations have on the job training during the summer periods. Did you think the military was going to pay you you during the summer months while you sit around? As for graduating early, good luck, your schedule ratio of classes to extracurricular activities will be strictly adhered...

Which degree have you been accepted into? I have offers for either Mechanical, Computer Systems, or Aero from Carleton. I'm leaning towards Computer Systems, but that could change after talking with my wife, she's an AERE officer. If you get your offer for AERE it will specify that you have to...

Has anyone else gotten their offers yet? It seems pretty quiet on the forum today; there has to be more selection messages out there. Anyways, 3 weeks seems like a fairly short time to sort out TOS for those of us that are reaching our 20. For those that didn't know, it's up to the member to...

I got my offer for AERE officer this morning. I will be going to Carleton University or Ottawa to study engineering. As well, DEU change occurs 01 July, and the offer is good for 21 days. As for how fast the message travelled, my unit got it at 0830 this morning, and I received it just prior to...

Cold Lake is no big deal if you applied to schools in Edmonton or Calgary, as both cities are within your geographical region. I'm in the same boat, I live in Trenton, which means the nearest schools to me are both in Kingston (anyone say RMC). As for more points awarded for above 30 credits...

That logic works fine unless you are looking for a trade that requires a degree such as engineering. It is next to impossible to do courses that count for engineering credits by correspondence. I was always told that the more leadership potential that you show, the better you are for this...

Has anyone received their selection message yet?

When did you ask your BPSO these questions? I was told the same last Nov when my interview occurred. The problem is the military has been asked recently to decrease spending by a further 2 billion. Anyways we will find out sometime soon. CELE, AERE, and Const Eng applicant.
