    Can 4th year university student enrol as an officer?

    I brought up OCTP to the recruiter and was told that he doesn't qualify for that either because you need to have four years left of university.  I read the regs, that does seem to be what it says.  Anyway, I just told him to enrol as an NCM and hopefully we can get him changed over in time for...

    Can 4th year university student enrol as an officer?

    Thank you very much for the information.  I've been in my position for almost nine months now and this is the first time I've even heard of a recruiter's handbook.  Your information is very much appreciated.

    Can 4th year university student enrol as an officer?

    I am the recruiter at a reserve unit.  I have an applicant who is going into his 4th year of university in September.  After I got his application for RESO into the local recruiting centre, I was told that because he has less than two years left of university, he cannot apply for RESO.  Also...

    Artillery Officer Merged Thread

    Thanks for the answers guys.  That makes sense, however I find it crazy how anyone can be commissioned as an officer before receiving any training, or how someone can wear an arty cap badge before they're trained on the guns.  I remember a few years ago, 2Lts on a BMQ wearing cornflakes.  I...

    Artillery Officer Merged Thread

    One more question related to my last.  Once an Ocdt completes CAP or whatever it's called now, are they then commissioned and do the DP 1.1 as a 2Lt, or do they have to complete the whole process before commissioning?  And at what point do they receive their cap badge?  Is that after the DP1.1?

    Artillery Officer Merged Thread

    Hey thanks, that helps a lot.  I don't know if it's still called CAP or not, it's either CAP or BMOQ-L.  When I was given this Ocdt's schedule, it had both names on it.  I'm sure the name will change again next year.  But thanks, I was never totally sure what to tell Ocdt applicants what to...

    Artillery Officer Merged Thread

    I'm the recruiter at a reserve artillery unit.  I'd like to know what training is like for new officers, as I can't ask the officers at my unit because they were all commissioned in the pre-Boer War era.  Currently I have one Ocdt who is taking BMQ with other Pte recruits, and then he's off to...
