    Are you an officer? Get in this thread

    As an OCdt you get paid dirt.    If you ask me, no one in the military gets paid what they ought to (especially combat arms soldiers/officers) given the work or risk they sign up for. Granted unless you're a single parent with kids you should do okay and even then between the bank and...

    Coolest shows on tv.

    Currently watching House of Cards with Kevin Spacey, it is fantastic. All time favourite is Rescue Me with Denis Leary and also can't go wrong with Breaking Bad or Sons of Anarchy.

    Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP)-RMC 2000 - 2018 [Merged]

    Check your attitude at the door.  Saying that to seasoned veterans will not get you very far. Go to a recruiting centre for an hour and speak to a recruiter, it seems to me you know very little about the process and that is the place to learn if you havn't figured out the process on your own.

    If ROTP hasn't changed in the last 2-3years you will do the already mentioned range of motion stuff aka: lift your arms in the air, do a push-up, duck walk. You will then do a roughly 2week long orientation course in August before your first subsidization year, there you will do a fitness test...

    Help put me at peace!

    Please don't start a thread asking how competitive you are.  Ask a recruiter, apply, or search the ROTP 2011-2012 thread to compare what others have written. As for religious accommodation. (someone correct me if I'm wrong) but there is accommodation in so far as religious practices or customs...

    Are We Raising a Generation of Helpless Kids?

    Big point to take out of what Dimsum wrote is that the kid failed the test, the teacher didn't fail the kid. It is important to realise the difference. I don't think the generation is helpless but I do think that there are self-created barriers that have (in general) allowed laziness to...

    Helicopter strikes power line near Yellowknife

    I feel this is Ironic. "He said they won't be able to assess the damage until crews can be dispatched to the location by helicopter."
