While the torpedo was intended for a ship, it stuck the pier.  Intentionally or not, it was hit.  As for the best way to attack a pier, I'm not really sure what would be the best way, although torpedos were all they had so if they had intended to strike the pier it is more than likley what they...

This is not true.  There actually was a case of a U-Boat Attack on Newfoundland Soil, which is now part of Canada.  U-518 fired a torpedo that hit Scotia Pier on Bell Island in 1942, and also sank 4 Ships killing over 60 men.  As far as i know this is the only stike of German subs on ANY North...

Here's what happened for me: Enlisted as a Pte. in Nov '05 and completed BMQ from Dec-Mar.  Did not work again until I applied and got accepted to ROTP civie-u.  Enrolled on Aug 10 and began work on Aug 25.  I am being paid on the CEOTP pay scale, it came through automatically in my offer.  If...

The guys from 1 and 2 RNFLDR are getting ready to go over on 1-07. R.

I'm at a civie u in ROTP right now, and I came here from a reserve unit.  Just after I left the reserves, I found out that they were having trouble getting volunteers for tours overseas.  I was wondering, you may think it's a bad idea but think theoretically, what are the chances of an ROTP...

I'd vote Kestrel.

Now I didn't say "physical" violence, so what are you babbling about?  I did, however, say violence and... There's your reference.  Now it doesn't bother me at all, so I have no need to take it up with anyone.  Also, cadets are not children, they are young adults learning how to make their...

Why the argument? ???  Almost everyone knows how bad smoking is for you, and some people choose to do it anyways.  Instead of yelling at them, or smacking them around it would probably be better to take them aside and talk to them if you feel like giving your input.  I'm sure you'll find you'll...

After reading all of this topic, I am still not sure of the answer.  If an ROTP student was a Pte IPC 2 in the PRes before getting accepted to ROTP, would he as an Ocdt be making the RegF equivilant to Pte IPC 2, or would he get the PRes pay on a 'B'-Class contract?  Example; Pte. Scroll is...

I got my offer, going to Memorial - St. John's campus.  Where's everyone else going, anyone in Newfoudland?  It would be nice to know some people around in the same program. R.

I was just wondering because I've been getting conflicting stories, and if I know what I'm entitled to then I'll be able to inquire about it if I find that it's not what I'm getting.  Mistakes are known to be made.  What I was looking for was an example, like your buddy, who is keeping his pay. ...

Would any former reservists who are currently ROTP students please PM me or leave an e-mail address here.  This is in reference to "vested rights" of your former reserve pay and how it is affecting your current ROTP pay.  I would like to speak to as many of you as possible so I know some...

Got my offer, Pilot - Civie U.  Pending successful completion of Aircrew Selection of course.  Special thanks to Kincanucks and everyone else for all the help and insight answering the questions I've had. R.

Thanks guys.  Thats what I was expecting anyways, won't bother me to "start from scratch" seeing as I'm pretty much still at scratch haha. R.

If I go officer regforce, will my reserve BMQ course be worth anything?  Like is it equivilant to any courses I will have to take as an OCdt therefore allowing me to bypass? R.

The thing is, I'd rather go to Mun through ROTP than to RMC, so I don't think I'd be competing for the same 150-300 spots. R.

I have one.  If you apply for ROTP at a civilian university, do your marks need to meet the RMC standards or the standards for the university in question?  (for example, Mun has a req. of 70% but RMC has one of 75%). I ask this because I have applied to ROTP through Mun, and also as a civie. ...

I can't see that, as long as the info dosen't change.  I sometimes used to forgot my SN, so maybe they should tattoo it all all recruits ;D. R.

Everyone go watch "Boondock Saints"  a great movie that starts on St. Pattys Day. R.

Sure does.  So how would it work if i was living in a university residence, would dnd pay tuition and my res fees, plus give me the salary and the PLD?
