Hey, I have one week left of summer leave, and then I return to RMC for my second year. I remember the stresses of the application process, but stick with it. The stress is neither worth it, nor fully warranted. If you are honest with yourself and work on your own weaknesses, you have nothing...

The source was the Commandant of RMC.

For me, it took as least 6 or 7 weeks. It depends on your recruiting centre and how busy they are.

I don't want to directly challenge you, but I am not sure that this is accurate in recent history. There are more people here at RMC than I can count who were at a civi university before coming to RMC, and they were offered a position at RMC only. I am sure it changes from year to year, but it...

I second what jwtg said. All the higher ups in the military said that the manning level of the CF will be maintained. This means that we still need to actively recruit because all the baby boomers are retiring. I would not expect the number of slots available for ROTP cadets would decrease much...

Though I haven't done BMOQ yet, I did do the recruit camp at the MEGA and I know that when you are on course, you are treated as an Officer Cadet. Not a prospective Infantry officer or anything like that. Everybody gets treated the same. This makes sense because people's trades often change...

My offer was given to me via phone call from my recruiting centre at New Westminster.

From what I know, if you are a CT, you wouldn't have to do the recruit camp, but I am not certain of. What I am certain of is that the recruit camp for this year was not at RMC, it was at the MEGA in St Jean, and there are no indications that it will be different next year. Also, seeing as you...

Hi there everybody, I was in your positions this time last year, wondering if I would be getting an offer. Now, I am at RMC in my first year of aeronautical engineering having been offered a position as a pilot. I have a few bits of advice that I will dispense, and then one warning that I want...

I can second that. All jokes aside, you really should apply. Your application does not sound as horrible as you think it is. You had honours in high school, and it sounds like you had some good extra-curriculars, even if they were only for a year or so (which is longer than most). Plus, you...

I have heard that about a third of the people at RMC have cadet experience. I also talked to the Cadet unit in my town, and they said only about 10% of their cadets actually carry on with careers in the CF (and not specifically ROTP either). But then again, these are just numbers. This is purely...

You don't get to pick and choose which marks they will look at. They will look at your entire academic record. That includes any and all post-secondary education, as well as grades 11 and 12 of high school, and if I remember correctly, even grade 10 (although I am not certain on that).

I have been accepted as Pilot under ROTP, and I was applying after 2 years of university. I also have no cadet experience. It is possible to get in after spending some time in university. My advice to you is to perform as well as you possibly can no matter what, don't plan on having lower marks...

That's odd, I had heard that they accepted significantly less this year. But I suppose thats all hearsay really. RMC Kingston, Pilot. I'll be leaving Prince George, BC, and I will also be swearing in on the 27th of July at YVR. See you then.

What will help you beef up your application if you are applying for Pilot are the same things that will help you beef up your application for any trade you are applying for in the CF, and especially through ROTP. In short, be the very best you can be in every aspect you can think of, and don't...
