The naval reserve is a lot different than an infantry reserve unit. This is getting out of hand...

Units have limited numbers of positions for Jr Officers as it is. Let alone the confusion it would cause on the financial side of the units. Every time there is a range weekend or an ex, members don't really go for free, and there are more costs than for just salary. There are set budgets for...

I agree with Piper. Honestly, one big reason as to why I went the ROTP route was to "escape" from the Reserve trg each week to be able to focus on school more. Last year, for the majority, I was unable to work as a reservist because my program was intense. This year, I do not have the time or...

Don't give up though! If you ever in the coming months (or next summer on courses) find somebody in your situation who is getting paid differently (as for being an OCdt in the PREs), bring it up to your CoC.

Oh. Look at your ETP message and it should tell you how you are being paid.

I have seen the same thing Piper, there were guys in my old unit who left for RMC after completing their SQ's. Less than a year in, and getting Pte 1 Reg F pay. They pay you the equivilant to what your prior pay was. I saw no decrease in my pay, in fact it increased, when I went ROTP.

Wow, that's great. I've always just gone on the assumption that since Logistik will send them to you if you call and request them, that they'd be alright to wear. They fit so much better than the female pants since they have no pleats! I've never had anything said to me about wearing the male...

In my opinion I think it is worth the effort of submitting your application in person. Especially if it is a small CFRC that you are dealing with; as there is a good chance that the officer you submit your application may be the one who conducts your interview and reccommends your file. Even if...

Did you check to see if your most recent pay was your retroactive backpay from the recent pay increase? There is a chance that you are still in the Reserve Pay System, and haven't been transferred over to the Reg F one. I also CTed in to ROTP, and the only pay I recieved this week was the...

Sorry for digging up an older can of worms, but I would like to know when is the best time to submit a PLAR? I'm currently a PRes NCM, CTing into the ROTP program in Sept 08. Should I submit it now, or wait until I complete the transfer? Thanks.

I do see where you're coming from regarding the enrollment.  The CT process has been very complicated, but there clearly are benefits such as vested pay rights and course equvilancies. I was told that they would re-enroll me as a Pte 3 RegF, then the next day I would become an OCdt, to account...

I'm going Nursing Officer through Civi U, CT from PRes. So perhaps that's why they haven't said much about an enrollment date, but it would be nice to get in sooner!

Hey, you're lucky to get enrolled that early! My CFRC told me to call mid-August to set up an enrollment date for the end of August.

Don't sweat CAP in Aldershot, it really isn't that bad. As for the rivalry, it too isn't THAT bad.

Yes, I was a nursing app who has recieved a call. I was told that all Nurse O's were picked up on the January selection board, this information coming from my CFRC. I'd recommend calling your recruiter and asking about your file status.
