    I know, I'm just eager as a beaver to get on with it. I'm a natural hustler (by which I mean one who hustles, not one who scams, haha), so all this waiting is starting to get me all ancy, heh.

    Strange, because I phoned my recruiting office today and was told that the selection boards would be sitting on April 15th  ???

    ROTP 2011-2012

    I'm really feeling the nervousness now myself. I mean, I don't think there's any outright reason for them not to accept me. They said that the big problem with my application was a low math score, well my math is now an 80% on my transcript. I mean, my file manager told me that he wanted to give...

    CFAT done, now I just wait for my selection. I'm on the list for Junior ROTP, since I need to spend that year in St. Jean learning French and stuff, but that's cool too! Hope I get in!  ;D

    Got my transcript today. I moved my Mathematics A30 mark from a 54 to an 80%. Very pleased with myself!  ;D I'm off to have a word with my recruiting officer next Thursday, and do a rewrite on my CFAT as soon as possible after that.

    One more week until I receive my updated transcripts, so I hope to rewrite my CFAT sometime in February, and hopefully be accepted to a trade soon! Infantry, Armour and Artillery are my choices. In the meantime, I'm taking online IQ tests to practice for the CFAT.

    ROTP 2011-2012

    I just really don't want to miss any sort of deadline or anything, since I wasn't accepted last year because I was out of town for a period of time and my stuff wasn't completed on time. This time around, I want everything finished promptly! I already have everything done, I just need to give...

    Agh, I have to wait two weeks for my Math marks to be sent to me, and even longer for an official transcript to get made up! Lord I hate government services sometimes  >:( I mean, I know I was told not to worry about deadlines but, damn it, I want this all done soon!

    ROTP 2011-2012

    Luckily, my recruiting officer told me that I shouldn't have to worry about a deadline for my CFAT rewrite. So, math final next Monday, I'm projecting a mark between 80 and 90%, a vast improvement over my 54% I got in high school, and then a meeting with my recruiting officer to discuss things...

    ROTP 2011-2012

    Talked to a Master Corporal at the Recruiting Station today while dropping off an updated employment history. Apparently, there is no deadline on writing the CFAT, so I'll be good to go for writing it in January. Also, anyone know any good study methods for Spatial Awareness other than the...

    I hope everyone had a merry Christmas. As for me, I'll be done my Math upgrader course on January 24th. Projected mark: Between 80 and 90%. Think that will be good enough for RMC? With this upgraded Math A30, my top six marks will be looking something like this: History 30: 95 Math A30: 88.05...

    Well, technically speaking, my application IS complete, since I have done and passed all the steps. I'm just rewriting the CFAT at their request, because my file manager really wants to give me a job, but I need a higher math score for him to be able to give me one.

    ROTP 2011-2012

    So, with the schedule of my math course, it looks like I'll rewrite my CFAT in February. You guys think that's still early enough to be accepted?

    ROTP 2011-2012

    Got a set of math assignments back today. 6.5 out of 7 possible marks, or 92%. If I keep this momentum up, my marks transcript will look much better to RMC Admissions ;D. So far, it looks like I'll be doing my CFAT rewrite in late January or early February. Hopefully still early enough that they...

    ROTP 2011-2012

    Getting good grades in this upgrading Math class I'm taking, hopefully that should make my RMC application a whole lot stronger  ;D And make me better prepared for rewriting my CFAT. Anyone have any tips for mental math? I've always found math questions most challenging if I couldn't write them...

    BASIC MILITARY OFFICER QUALIFICATION BMOQ Jan 2011

    I won't be there in January, I'm rewriting my CFAT in January, hoping to get accepted as Infantry Officer, Armour Officer or Artillery Officer. So I'll probably encounter you guys while you're at a later point in your course and I've just started, but I don't know all the starting dates for 2011...

    ...You guys are right, of course. It's just... I was fired today for mediocre job performance, which is a bit of a body blow to my self-confidence. However, really, it was a crappy job and I was motivated by nothing other than to make my daily dollar, so what else would they expect? There's...

    Man... you guys are all way out of my league. Jesus, what am I doing? Thinking I can get into the Royal Military College is like a chimpanzee thinking it can fly. It's just not going to happen. I may as well just change withdraw my application and then reapply for Enlisted. That's the only way...

    ROTP 2011-2012

    Well, I start a 10 week Grade 12 math upgrader course on Monday. If I can seriously bump up my mark from the 56 where it stands to something in the 60s, 70s or maybe even 80s, I'll be able to rewrite my CFAT and hopefully do better on the Problem Solving portion, which was my weakest according...

    ROTP 2011-2012

    Do you guys think it would be possible to get my application moved to the 2012-2013 year? My family is undergoing some troubles, and I think I might have to stay home to help support them personally and financially at least into the summer of 2012.
