    ROTP at Civilian University 2004 - 2018 [Merged]

    Agree with DAA.  They will have the review boards for selection as in previous years.  Never any indication that particularly strong applications got any sort of different treatment or advanced offers. Both sons, one currently at RMC and one who graduated last year, were accepted to all of...

    ROTP at Civilian University 2004 - 2018 [Merged]

    I would make contact with them.  There seems to be nothing that comes out on their system when a file is not actioned and yes they do misplace and mishandle files at times. Both of my sons, one who has graduated and the other currently at RMC had their files mishandled and had we not followed...

    ROTP at Civilian University 2004 - 2018 [Merged]

    If you are looking at civi university ROTP then you obviously have to be accepted to qualify. Treat it as you normally would apply and at the same time as others. DO NOT WAIT THINKING THAT YOU HAVE TO GET ACCEPTED TO ROTP FIRST! As well.. no guarantee that you will even be selected for ROTP, ...

    ROTP at Civilian University 2004 - 2018 [Merged]

    From prior experience with my two sons, you should definitely follow up.  If you can, go to the recruiting centre and talk to them. Make sure that your file is going forward, or if anything needed you can now secure.  (And that it is acted upon as required... this was the concern with both sons...

    How to get family on board

    It is unfortunate that your parents feel the way that they do.  The life skills and experience that is gained through the experience, even if you do nothing more and are in for only a few years, is exceptional.  I have two sons in the military, and both would not change it for the world. Their...

    Rick Mercer Fights Back!

    Although not for a lack of effort on the part of RMC cadets, Rick Mercer's name has not moved forward to receive an honorary degree. Regrettably similar for Don Cherry, who took the high road to avoid any conflict or focus he felt not appropriate.  Having just read his response, I truly hope...

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

    For how your marks are calculated call and talk to recruiting centre. DO not take anyone posting here as gospel. Two sons were accepted to RMC. One has graduated recently and pilot, other in Civil Engineering and Construction Engineer. Both were told by recruiting centre that mark going...

    SIC Scale of Issue/Entitlements (merged)

    A little off topic, but on similar train of thought. When cadet units (CIC's) do not secure uniforms from cadets leaving, and simply feel that they should get lots of new every year it causes me to loose faith in their training, ethics,  and the system. Sons' first CO aggressively went after...

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

    ROTP 2014 - 2015 os one you can look at but many others. (From this one earlier....( Take a look at last year posts and other posts by searching. A lot of your questions will be already answered. As I have said in earlier posts.....  apply now.  Things get delayed and then you can schedule...

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

    Apply now.  This will give you plenty of time to address any potential medical concerns.  Odds are you will not have the interview and medical until the new year.  They can schedule you for the CFAT (Aptitude test) which has to be done earlier anyway.  Take a look at earlier posts... definitely...

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

    Please do  a little homework and don't simply ask without any kind of looking into prior.  If you took a look at the forces.ca site and the rmc.ca site, or other earlier posts you would not have to ask. As many have said earlier.......you are given an offer and can choose to accept or...

    Joining, Leaving, then Reapplying

    If you don't want military training to take place while in school then don't apply for ROTP.  Even if you don't list RMC high, excellent chance this is where they will accept you.  My son and hundreds of others are doing their engineering degree there with weekend and other requirements, and...

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

    From experience with two sons currently at RMC........ Again, apply early (now if you can or in early summer if for next year) so that any concerns such as medical can be looked after and cleared well in advance of first selection. (Allergies, eye sight concerns, previous fractures etc.)  Also...

    Air Cadet glider program may be grounded

    They have lots of other things  that they should look at for potential cost reduction.  I believe that salaries of staff align quite closely if not entirely with reg force.  Having been involved with the Air Cadets, it always bothered me that an individual who had limited training and  was...

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

    You really should talk to someone at the recruiting centre.  To accept at face value or depend on information received from any other source is clearly not in your best interest. You should apply as early as you can for a number of reasons.  It allows for the ease in scheduling your aptitude...

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

    As I and others have posted earlier, marks are only one of the items that they evaluate.  Individuals get in with marks over quite a varied amount from high 70s to 90s. They also do not get in with high end marks as well.  And also, as mentioned in this and other posts earlier both of my sons...

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

    First, let me congratulate you in receiving the RMC offer.  Having two sons there currently, one who is a pilot, and the other an engineer,  I am surprised that you have not already accepted. That is exactly what it is... an offer for RMC. You do not get to choose if you go to RMC or Civi...

    Daishi:  Keep following up on your medical information.  And...  provided you are acceptable make sure that they update on the system so that you move forward (are merit listed).  Had situations with both of my sons where medical information was not handled effectively. The first was not acted...

    Marks / Grades: School / GED or PLAR [MERGED]

    Unless it has changed in the last year it is as stated grades 10 - 12.  Sons both currently at RMC (in first and fourth year) were both told this and what the average was that was going forward. You should ask the recruiting centre or registrar at RMC if unsure or want to know when it is...
