Re-enlisting after your minimum period of service frankly does not constitute to being dedicated to chosen professions as your chosen profession, in this case Military Police, can be done outside of the military in the civilian worlds. Arguably, it is fallacious to suggest, even for a minute...

Oh so now I'm an "idiot" for not wanting to live out the rest of my days in the Canadian Forces? Oh, I understand it now. You would rather have someone suffer for the next 40+ years until retirement without ever having the chance to fulfil their life dreams. Are you actually pathetic & naive...

Both are Criminologists. Social Welfare/work encompasses Criminology. You can take Criminology under many areas including Political Science, Social Welfare, Science, etc. Thanks for trying though. You just cannot win when you're not even studying it.

It was criminologists, e.g. James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling, who came up with policing strategies, which are used today, such as "zero-tolerance policing" ? If you consider the mid-18th century as being "relatively new", sure.

I suppose that I am lucky that, as an NCO, your opinion is not taken into consideration when it comes to who gains a commission as you have no say in the matter. Yes, because wanting to leave after minimum contract of service means poor ethics and reflects poor leadership skills.  ::)

I wasn't referring to Canada in my quote, but yes you are correct under the Criminal Code, military police are peace officers. Contrary to here. Fair enough. I was using the wrong calculations, not that my math is wrong. I'd be willing to do 8 years. Been in contact with a few universities...

Protecting my privacy and the neutrality of my Canadian Forces application doesn't constitute to hiding anything. The criminologists I have found are mainly crime analysts or researchers. More specialist crime analysts have secondary education in the fields of accounting, forensics, psychology...

Across the pond is associated with the Atlantic Ocean and the United Kingdom. Feel free to make a "Today I learned" post about it on Reddit. http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/across+the+pond.html It does not include Europe, Asia, South America, Oceania or anywhere else.

Funny enough, in my country they cannot enlist or retain enough MPs (Officers or NCMs) where they are so desperate that they've only put a year as minimum service requirement. Fancy that, spend $10,000 training someone for them to be eligible to resign a year later. Before you question why I'm...

Both Criminology and Criminal Justice here are designed and orientated towards policing. Only the first year subjects are "why crimes are committed and why people become criminology". The rest focuses on the application of the two into the real world such as "tactical crime analysis", "criminal...

Oh that I understand. I have relevant employment history, experiences and certifications that should reinforce my academics.

We have previously established that, yes. ROTP would, in my opinion based upon the information I have from Canadian universities on international transfer credits, most likely take up 4 year.s That means 8 years of subsequent service afterwards. I'm not "across the pond" nor am I in Britain...

I know over here the military, even has on their website that subsequent periods of service are up to the military to decide along with suitability for future service in the military. I assume it is the same with the Canadian Forces nonetheless? Also been looking through some threads, RMC is...

That goes without saying, yeah. Still have a discretion to either accept the offer or not accept the offer which I would invoke if I were to only receive RMC.

You are assuming that I was referring to you. The saying is "assumptions make an *** out of you and me". Rather as I recognise you were helpful the defensive content of my responses were directed towards Dimsum and Dimsum alone. Yes, I do think it's acceptable to refute Dimsum and his...

This is true. Except I am not jumping for joy at the thought of the massive debt (repayments after 6 months) should I return to finish the degree off in Canada. In my forgein country, the student loan is interest-free and repayments are salary deductions after your salary reaches a significantly...

I have lurked on these forums for many years. I am perfectly aware of the attitudes and behaviour of certain posters who like to talk down to potential candidates in a vicious and unnecessary manner which further alienates the military from the eyes of the general public, where it turns them off...

Love that sardonic humour :D. On the contrary, I was more specifically talking about being forced to only enter the pathway, should I want to, in the RMC route instead of the preferred civi uni route.

My apologises I did not want to over-share, hence one of the reasons why I haven't mentioned which foreign country or anything more specific. To give you a greater insight, I'm doing Criminology, Criminal Justice and Psychology. I have picked more specific policing orientated units, rather than...

Hmm. Damn. I'm hoping I don't end up receiving an offer for RMC and I'm crossing my fingers that my foreign academic transcript when assessed to Canadian equivalences doesn't allow me to go into RMC even though I'm making top grades here. I'd prefer to graduate with a Criminology degree, rather...
