Still no news from CFRC Saskatoon and they promised me a call yesterday. Once again, I shall give them until 14:30 and then try phoning them.

Can't speak French, want to learn, CMR seems like it would be a good way to do so. Re: ECs: I was very involved in my Air Cadet squadron, volunteered with the Saskatoon Open Door Society (tutoring immigrant high school students in English), and was on my school's rugby and curling teams.

Haha, as did I, but Junior ROTP through CMR is my first choice.

Cool, I applied to CMR  ;D Well, no phonecall for me today, since CFRC Saskatoon is now closed. Oh well, hopefully tomorrow will bring good news.

To my knowledge, and my knowledge might be totally wrong, civvy U officer candidates are the ones who qualified for RMC but there weren't enough spaces at RMC for them, or officer candidates who wanted to go to a civilian university instead and still made the grade for ROTP.

Still waiting for my call. I tried phoning them, but I go their answering machine. Left a message requesting more info. Gimpy: Congratulations on your selection for Infantry Officer. That's my first trade as well!  :)

Oh well that's a relief, and seeing that Matthias got an Armour position that gives me some ease of mind. Very sorry that you didn't get picked though! Next year maybe? I just tried phoning CFRC Saskatoon. I got the answering machine. I suspect they're on lunchbreak  :facepalm:

Wait, Infantry, Armour and Artillery are full? Like closed like they were last year, or have all the selections been mad? Those are my choices too  :-\ (though order is different) As if I wasn't already nervous.

No news from CFRC Saskatoon yet  >:( I'm planning on giving them until 14:30 local time, and then I'll phone them to check. Re: jwtg: Congratulations on ACSO! And congratulations on RMC as well! I'll be very upset with you if you get to go to RMC even though it wasn't your choice and I don't...

Very interesting information, Breezie, I thank you for it! I also would like to add that, according to the RMC website, one must have a 70% average or better in the prerequisite classes for the programme you want to take, as well as an average of 70% or better from your six best classes in...

I phoned my RC, CFRC Saskatoon. I was told that they didn't have any information for me today, but they were 99% certain they would have it by Monday. I'm excited, but also prepared to be disappointed.

Oh great, they'll probably forget about us hayseeds out in Saskatchewan until like June  ;)

Okay, I'll admit, that intimidates me just a wee bit, as the last result I got on a 20 meter shuttle run was stage 5.5. Mind you, that was at a Cadet test the day after a very hard rugby practice, so I was already extremely stiff and sore and not exactly at 100% of my physical capability. I am...

Guys, seriously: Stop stressing about the news, just focus on preparing yourself for basic training both mentally and physically. You're just going to give yourself ulcers worrying about hearing from the Forces, just focus on yourself and what you can do to get ready for your training. So...

Infantry Officer Royal Military College - St-Jean Campus Social Sciences (History) No experience with the Forces, but 6 years in the Air Cadet program

Now guys, I don't know much about much. I'm just an 18 year old Air Cadet and high school graduate with a love for rugby and a strong desire to be an Army officer, so I really have little experience from my relatively short life. Like I said, I don't know much about much. However, I do know good...

This is all really good advice, and I thank you for it! I'll admit, I'm not in the best physical shape. Oh I'm active, I enjoy rugby and bicycling and other things, but I'm still working on getting into top physical shape for my BMOQ. However, Infantry Officer is the thing I want most out of...

Again, that all sounds good to me. I'm certain it will be stressful when I get into it, but I want the pressure, I want to be pushed to meet and expand my limits, I want to work hard.

Good thing I enjoy the outdoors and am used to that kind of thing (being dirty for a week or more), since I applied for Infantry Officer!

I wait anxiously/excitedly for news. I applied for junior ROTP at CMR, since I think the prep year will be a big benefit to me, so I hope that I'll be seeing all you Quebeckers and other junior ROTP applicants soon!
