    Army vs. Navy vs. Air Force: Advantages and Disadvantages

    I want nothing that can't be researched by myself. I must work on reducing my shortsightedness. I apologize. It appears that there is no use for the thread. Regards, BBB

    Army vs. Navy vs. Air Force: Advantages and Disadvantages

    I suppose that'd be the best option. I was interested in reading some first-hand points of view and opinions of different servicemen and women. Regards, BBB

    Army vs. Navy vs. Air Force: Advantages and Disadvantages

    Bonjour à tous, I would like to start a discussion/debate of the military branches aforementioned. How hard is it to enter occupations in each branch? How long and/or complex/technical is the training (generally) in those branches? What is the working atmosphere of each branch? Lax...

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

    Well, as it turns out, I'm not a very competitive candidate this year. It's doubtful that I'll make it in for this year's ROTP but now that I know what is fully expected of me, next year will rock. I did learn valuable lessons from it. All the short-term preparation I did could have never...

    Thanks! Whatever keeps me from walking around like a chicken with its head cut off, getting yelled at, is great! :P Cui, the few significant things about London are the abundance of trees, parks and grass fields and grass street boulevards. It's a physically beautiful city -- nice for vacation...

    It sounds like I'd enjoy Kingston. London has long lost its vibe but it still has the crazy weekends and holidays with Western U,  Fanshawe College, Brescia, etc. The Fleming Drive Riot that made provincial news (at least) last year is a great example  :facepalm: Regards, BBB

    Thank you, Alex. I'm in no position to agree with Scriptox about you or vise versa, of course  :P I personally know a few OCdts who tell me that there are some at RMCC who certainly don't merit being there but who are we to judge what got them there? Maybe they're the hard on the outside, soft...

    You all have valid points. I realize the "wanting more than you want to breathe" is bordering dramatic, but the meaning is the same. They won't take half-assed candidates unless they make a mistake. I'm not obsessed (I find that the word has a negative and unhealthy connotation) with getting...

    Getting accepted is no small feat. It's not enough to beat the standard or the other people you're competing against. Going at it that way is mere survival. You have do your best regardless of standards, minimums or competition. My interview was scheduled for this Friday but because of exams, I...

    So You Want to be an officer, eh!

    Thank you very much. That will help tremendously. Is there anything else I should "study"? Regards, B  :cdn:

    So You Want to be an officer, eh!

    I've got the interview coming up soon. I've got a list of things to know going into the center, just to be prepared for any kind of question that could be asked. If you would like to help me and add some things, that'd be great! - Descriptions, training, environment of chosen occupations -...

    Yes, I'm damn excited, stressed, determined and the works! I am also looking forward to attending RMC but that is not enough. We've got to earn it! Live by Ali's famous line: "I'll show you how great I am!" Never give up and you won't be let down; prove others wrong - less thinking, more...

    What's the timeline for ROTP applicants - anyone? I applied around mid-November, passed the CFAT just before the Christmas break and am currently awaiting the final results for the background/criminal record check. I called my file manager today to get some updates and info and he said that...
