Good post jmlz87! boboyer: initiative is good - checking regularly, not obsessively works wonders. MKO

Exactly.

Congratulations on your offer!  I would like to make a couple of points for you: first, going into RMCSJ for prep year usually means two years (prep and first) and then transfer to RMCC for second to fourth year and graduation. second, you will receive an offer letter and it should arrive very...

For all: Every case is considered on it's merits.  The fact that you have been convicted of a misdemeanour or crime does not automatically bar you from joining the CF.  The type of crime(s), the punishment and other obligations ordered by the court as well as conduct during parole, letters of...

jann0:  talk to the folks at Director Military Careers Administration, who handle transfers from the ResF to RegF, including ROTP. You can find them on the DIN; if you don't have access at your unit you can get it a recruiting centre.  The centre will also be able to help you find the right...

There are never many openings in any year and the level of competition is extremely high.  Effectively the number of applicants already completely processed and waiting is such that we are able to meet our requirements almost immediately upon entering the fiscal year. MKO

Well, it depends on the Branch as each of the Advisors is pretty well acting in a secondary duty capacity, as is his/her Branch staff.  Much different from the British Army system where the various Corps Directors have primary responsibilities associated with their Corps (control of the school...

Hopefulmedtech: The 'powers that be' in this case will be the Health Services Group, who will research the Emergency Patient Care curriculum if they have not already seen this one and give back a sensible answer.  It will take time; the CFRC should be able to confirm however that the Prior...

As I am leaving my position tomorrow, 1 May 09, I can no longer keep my current name.  I will continue to be active on the boards, with authority until the end of my term as the CFRGHQ Director of Staff, which should be mid-June, and as a well-informed observer after that. MKO

Supra, that's a great idea for everyone, no matter what you are thinking of doing.  It increases your chances of being picked up rather than putting all your eggs in one basket, unless you are VERY focused on that one job.  Given the wide range we have however, there are many that are in the...

Your file can be transferred without having to start from scratch.  Make sure you let the current location know what is going on and when.  They will confirm how much they can do with you before you leave and then which would be the closest recruiting location in NB.  Once you get there, make...

It is very reassuring to have so many proof-readers for us! Noted and we will get it reviewed and updated as necessary. MKO

The centres have been working to the priority occupations for some time now.  It isn't an 'on/off' thing however; each location commander is responsible for ensuring that when there is a choice to be made on which file to work on first, the priority files get the work done before getting to the...

CICPropJock, Glad the post hit the mark.  Thanks for the credit to my staff, they work pretty hard at trying to get everyone the service and attention they deserve, regardless of the circumstances. Cheers, MKO

Zyllon, No one will give you a hard time because you are 40.  There have been quite a few applicants older than you that have been quite successful in basic training and into their first units and beyond. You will never know if you will be accepted until you start the process and make an...
