Now, I despise running, but I realise how essential it is. I get plenty of strength exercise from both my work and from exercises that I do on my own (usually 30-100 pushups a day and 50-150 situps), so I need to work on running, especially endurance running, most of all. I'm planning on joining...

My advice: Rigorously practice any areas you might be weak in for the CFAT. You don't want to be like me and have your recruiter ask you to take an upgrader course in Mathematics so you can rewrite your CFAT and have a stronger application. :P Trust me on this: You don't want that, haha.

Pudd13 is entirely correct. That's why I'm swallowing my pride to go back to school to upgrade my math marks, alongside my volunteering, my work, and my rugby and curling teams.

I had a little chat with the recruiter today. As I had always suspected, the weakest part of my application was the Problem Solving section of the CFAT. As such, my recruiter recommended that I take an academic upgrade program in Mathematics, and when I can show a certificate of some sort...

Talked to a recruiter today. He said RMC had rejected my application as a Senior Applicant. I am not at all surprised, considering some of my grades and my inability to speak French. However, the Junior Applicant option, which is what I wanted anyways, is still open, as is Civi U. Overall, I...

I went to the CFRC today. I was pleased to learn that they had kept my file open, so all I had to do was give them my updated transcript of marks, and then fill out a new RMC academic questionnaire. Tomorrow, I'll hand in that questionnaire, and schedule a new interview  ;D

Does anyone else hear feel a nagging little bit of uncertainty in the back of their minds about this? A little bit of unconfidence, somewhere deep inside you, praying on that fear that you won't be good enough for the Forces? I mean, I passed the CFAT last time I went through this process, and I...

Rogo: Well, of course, Survival Instructor is nothing compared to what I will face in training for the Reg Force. However, as Air Cadet summer courses go, it is on the more difficult side of them, and I'm rather proud to have finished it. 5 days in the wilderness by myself with few supplies is...

Hello all I'm going back to the CFRC on September 1st to start the ROTP application process for a second time. However, I think I have a much stronger application this time, since I've completed another Air Cadet course, the difficult 6 week long Survival Instructor course, I've graduated high...

I'm reapplying since my paperwork didn't get finished for the 2010-2011 deadline. I think my choices this time will be Infantry-Signals-Air Combat Systems. Infantry will probably be still full, but I'll put it down on the forms anyways, just so they know I'm interested in a position in the...

Maybe we will! Don't worry about it Hamegreg, I'm actually pretty pleased with how things turned out. Mind you, it's not perfect, but it's not nearly as bad as it could be.

Well, I just phoned CFRC. It was confirmed that I can't get my second set of interviews done for Signals and Air Combat Systems, since the deadline passed three days ago. HOWEVER, the good news is that CFRC told me that they can save my CFAT and medical results and that stuff, so when I can...

They don't even have my trade selected yet. I think I'm going to have to wait a year before I join the rest of you fine gentlemen and ladies.

Rogo, you're right of course, ranting doesn't do any good. I'm very frustrated right now, because of a lot of things, and CFRC's misinformation and misdirection isn't helping matters.

I'm very annoyed right now. I've recently called the Saskatoon CFRC twice, and both times my file manager was away, so it was other people filling in for her job, and they both told me different things! I was asking about the openings in Infantry Officer that I had heard about, and one told me...

Well, it seems I won't be entering ROTP this year afterall. As it turns out, the degrees I want to take at RMC (History, English) are not appropriate for a Signals Officer or an Air Combat Systems Officer, and I don't have the grades to go after a Science or Engineering degree. So, unless...

Yes I know that, PuckChaser, but it's closer to Infantry Officer than some of the other available trades, such as Marine Systems Engineering or Naval Combat Systems Engineering.

Hi all I had originally applied for Infantry, Pilot, Artillery as my three trades, but I was told that all three were 'full' and I would have to do something else. One of the available trades was Signals Officer, so I put that down as first choice, since it's about the closest thing to my...

Well, I made my decision. I just want to be entering the Forces now at least, so my career choices got changed to Signals Officer and Air Combat Systems Officer, with no third choice as the remaining things seemed to be all engineering jobs, which I don't have the grades to qualify for. Here's...

After extensive deliberation, I decided to accept what I can get in the Forces, and try for a transfer later on. Here's hoping it works out!
