Hello,
I am 16 years old(as of August 17th) and I am going into Grade 11. I have a very large interest in becoming an Infantry Officer one day and I have been reading all about ROTP. I have been in contact with a recruiter via e-mail and they have told me that my best bet is to go down to my local recruiting office and learn more, which I plan on doing after my birthday. I figured I would get some insight from people who have already gone through the process. I wanted to know if it is possible to apply at 16. Actually, I know it is, but will they put my application on hold until I graduate and am ready to apply for RMC? Will I be put into reserves? I've been told by someone that I'll need to spend my summers doing something CF related(not sure what if it's even true). I would appreciate a run down of what happens at this age.
Thanks.
