Greetings, I'm a Third Year OCdt at RMC and if you don't mind I'd like to jump in on this thread to answer any questions you may have. For starters I'd like to say something about your interview process at CFRC, based upon my personal experience dealing with them: 1. Have an understanding...

Congrats to everyone who got accepted into ROTP! According to my ROTP contract (to become an Infantry Officer! :soldier:) my IAP dates (according to CFRC Victoria) are from July 9th - Sept 7th.  I was hoping to get on a May - June course, because as of next week I'm done my first year (and now...

Oh man, how could I forget walking around the corner of the mess hall and seeing...that.  Of course it had to be members of 16 shaving Ford's legs underneath the building's water point.  I broke it up and left him with half of his legs shaved...as a reminder not to something stupid like that...

:threat: SIXTEEN! :threat: Simply the best Platoon, from the best company in existence 2lt McAuley, Sgt Mann, Sgt St-Jules, Sgt Crawford, all the troopies ...and of course WO Baldock, a.k.a., "Q-Ball, the patron saint of awesomness"

Actually the age limit is more like 65.

CATO 46-01 - Army Cadet Dress Regulations: Article 29 (Wearing Items of Dress), Page 12, Para m. (Boots) "...Boots shall not be modified with any type of metal cleats, hobnails or other metal attachments to the heel or sole." CSTC's are allowed to go outside the jurisdiction of certain CATO's...

Along with Grad Parade Positions, there are "ranks for a day" depending on what course you're taking.  For example, if you're doing a CL course, each cadet at one point in the summer should get a Private slip-on to wear for the day, and, under the watch and guidance of the platoon staff, will...

I was speaking in generalization.  Usually 14/15 is the age when officers should consider putting cadets through the program at an accellerated rate if they feel that they have the maturity and knowledge to pass the testing. An example of this is a Warrant Officer whose been at my corps for a...

Considering you and the rest of 848 parade there every week, Sgt. Trakalo, you probably do know the area better.  All I'm saying is that I've gone on exercises there for years, and have have been all over the training area, the garrison, the grenade range, the abseil site, the obstacle course...

No, there are no online courses you can take to advance further in the RCAC.  All of your training is done at the LHQ, and at the Summer Training Centre.  You can only challenge your tests if you are at the appropriate age, but the key to getting ahead is putting in the extra effort.

As a course cadet you will receive a $60.00 weekly training bonus.  Since you said you just joined, unless you're 14/15 or older, you'll go to basic.  If you do a 2 week basic course, you'll receive $60.00 in cash at the end of your first week, and then a cheque for the rest at the end of your...

I've been going to Albert Head for years and know the training area almost inside and out...never have I heard a story about a ghost.  I know about the William Head Penitentiary/Asylum over by Mary Hill, in fact a couple of friends of mine went there when it was abandoned...scared the sh*t out...

7 of the 8 cadets from our corp that wrote phase 1 passed, but quite a few of those people REALLY need to work on phase 2 material.  Phase 2 is what gets most people, why?  MAP AND COMPASS!!!  I wrote NSCE last year and I had to re-write two parts of my M&C practical: 1. magnetic dec: I picked...

I never really thought about Royal Roads actually, but I'll look into it, thanks.

I'm just curious as to whether or not it is possible for one to transfer from a civilian college to RMC. I applied in November, but I screwed up on my CFAT, so I'm planning on taking courses next year at Camosun College and working at 11-SVC BTL as a weapons tech.  I applied for...

For ironing trousers, here's a sure fire way to keep a permanent crease in them: Pull each leg inside out and in the spot where you want to have the crease, run a line of tape up and down on both sides of each leg to have creases running up and down the back and front of the trousers. (masking...

Thanks for all of the info guys, I'm sure the recruiters are gonna try to convince me to join again.  I still have a file at CFRC Victoria, and I thought about doing Reserve work (11-SVC BAT Weapons Tech) to get some extra experience, (and enjoying my job more than stocking shelves at Safeway,)...

My friend and I are both applying for Cougar Salvo 06.  We're both cadets (17 & 18) from 3005 11-SVC BAT RCACC.  Thanks for posting this thread and hopefully we'll see you and the rest of 39 brigade this spring. I'm sure I'll find out all of the information from past threads or from my Ops...
