Anyone from RMC or ROTP coming to Gagetown for Arty Officer Phase III  ( DP 1.1) starting May 29? Theres 4 of us here waiting for the course ....just wondering if anyone else was coming to join us?

Everything shuts down at christmas....when we finished it was close to christmas too.  Everyone went home for 3 weeks and came back early january to start SLT.  For SLT we lived on the 11th floor of the mega....completely different from course. for example no inspections or standard or anything...

The recruit school shuts down over xmas.....so you do the weeks before xmas, then come back and do the rest when the school reopens after xmas....LOL  the DS have families too. ;)

Allright This topic seems to be getting some negativity and to those of you I have somehow ticked off Im sorry it was not my intention.  It was just a curiosity.  However to clarify...No none of the junior officers here are on any type of course.  It just so happens that the language school is...

LOL.  No no one has "jacked" me up.  But it has been an issue around the language school with a few individuals and I was just curious what the correct action would be.  The people it is happening to are junior officers with the language school and the sometimes overzealous NCMs are people from...

Allright. Im a commissioned officer ...of the junior type who needs some advice from those NCM's and officers with experince.  When an overzealous NCM starts talking to you in a disrespectful manner in front of a group of other officers and tries to "jack" you up for something what is the...

When I was on BOTP there was an entire platoon of people who were commissioned from the ranks....so get some experience, give it a few years and apply through your career manager...especially for infantry, there were lots of CFR positions.

Hey there. I did IAP/BOTP last September and a little bit of advice.  When you go out in the field for the entire week 3 times  and for a few days another time your food intake is severly decreased because of the IMPs. Buy Vector bars and things like that in the canex and take them with you in...

Bring whatever you want for personnal items but be prepared to have them stuck in storage.  if your going officer you'll have your own little cupboard in your room where you can keep things like facial products,makeup, purse etc....not to sure if it is the same for the enlisted course.  Iam...

Basic Training Officer style Quotes 1.  SGT to a candidate who screwed up in drill class...  "You've been smoking on the business end of a crack pipe" 2.  SGT to entire platoon "Pushups are not a punishment they are a gift from me to you, and right now i would like to give you all a gift." and...

Being a female of the officer kind in the process of my combat arms trade training for artillery I feel the need to add my 2 cents in. Number 1 :I have NEVER done a push up on my knees. Number 2: I sleep in tents and hoochies with male soldiers on training exercises. They change there,,,,I...

LoL I think I know who this is. Don't worry about the bugs, you'll be fine.  ;D

hey there. Im in the same position as you are.  I finished IAP and BOTP and am now doing french training in st jean.  Im having the same thoughts as you are about being unsure what to expect come CAP and phase 3 and 4.  Im also a 115 pound girl so im a little worried if thats gonna make it...
