Well guys, I have just gotten off the phone witha recruiter and he told that even 2-3 references are good. Even friends and girlfriends, I guess that part of my application is nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the advice guys, i'll talk to a recruiter in the morning but just to maybe put my mind at ease do you think using best-friends or girl-friends as references is a good idea? Thanks again.

Hello, I am a 19 year old University student who had failed to be selected for ROTP on my first applicaton. I am trying again this year but the one thing that has me bent over shape is my references. Last year I gave 5 teachers as my references(I have not known them for 5 continous year...

Hang in there, CFAT made me very nervous but as it turned out it was my best scoring part of my application.

I am in Ottawa, and I go to the University of Ottawa. While my current program of Psychology is relevant for detective work(which I do think I would like) I was told by OPP officers that a degree in Criminology would also suffice, political science is also somewhat related. Many told me the...

Good point. I appreciate the advice, probably going to go down to the office tomorrow. Also I also have spoken with a guidance counselor from my school about a secondary back up plan for civilian life if the military thing doesn't work out, getting into programs that are a good stepping stone...

I understand if you may be annoyed with me posting my questions but I think every thread I have started had a valid question behind it, and it is hard to address so many questions in the confines of a single thread title. On another note recuiters don't always have answers to obscure but still...

True, the recuiter explained clearly to me my strong suits and weaknesses, what I should do to improve myself for next year...etc.

After I recieved a call from the Ottawa Recruiting Centre, informing me that I did not make the second-round selections for ROTP for 2010, the recuiter started explaining to me what I should do in order to get ready for the next years application. He informed me that I should hand in my...

I'm pretty new here, but I think this should be posted elsewhere...

No, no, not at all. I meant one might apply for 4 consecutive years after one obtained their degree, which would be rather disgruntling. I am currently a student with this aspiration, so I will continue applying for ROTP until I am finsihed my schooling, at which point I have no choice but to...

Ah, I see how it works now. So essentially direct entry is more risky, you might spend 4 years applying and never make it, but with ROTP you are locked in for your trade, provided you are enrolled.

Thanks for the info guys. So depending on what trade you desire, you might be rejected for that year if you are not interested/qualified for the trades that have openings?

Not sure where this should have been posted but I have a few questions about direct entry as an officer. When you apply, with your degree, are you subject to competing with ROTP candidates for that year? If so, do you have any edge over ROTP candidates? If not, roughly how many direct entry...

Ok, so there is some good news. I passed the aptitude for officer level, but the test itself was very nerving, because of the pressure and all, i'm glad I do not have to do that part again. Thanks for the info.

I had recieved a call from the Canadian Forces Recruiting Centre in Ottawa around 3 weeks ago, informing me that I had not been selected for the first round of the selection process for 2010. The member I was speaking with told me that there was another round in which I would have a chance of...

This is ridiculous. Are there even any mods here? I thought this was a rather serious forum.

Loachman, it is a simple fact of life that one will not get along with everyone they interact with. I am astonished that i've raised "every" personal alarm bell with what little i've said. Getting the point across is good, but no one likes to be treated like a child, that includes me. I believe...

Was that whole post the highlight of your day? If your goal was to make another feel bad about themself then you have failed. Try someone else grandpa. tristismilitis and tsokman have made helpful posts, to them I say thank you. And let me make this known that I never meant to make light of a...

To be honest, I thought  the interview went very well. That was part of the reason I git so excited, it seemed like it coudl actually happen. I answered all of the questions honestly, I prettied up nothing for them. I admitted that my desired to be in the forces requires that I be in a...
