Howdy folks;
So I'm about to begin the DMAS program offered through Humber College. To give a little detail about myself, I'm a prior service member who had to leave midway through BMQ in order to take care of family issues. After I had squared away my family problems, I had attempted to reapply to service when I was turned down due to a directive stating members must be out of service for 24 months. In the time since then, I've just been working different retail jobs, paying the bills until I could figure out my next step. I toyed with the idea of joining RCMP but I decided that I was too young and didn't continue my application. I decided that taking the DMAS program would be beneficial as the military is something I have an interest anyway, and it wouldn't hurt to have when I reapply to the military.
Anyway, back to the point, for those who don't know about it there's a thread here with a bit more detail. Essentially its a course set up mainly for NCM's to get an education in subjects pertaining to the military. The course is strictly run online and it can be done at your own pace. For myself personally, I'm attempting to do it in a semester format, taking 5 courses per semester for a total of 4 semesters. Because I can do the course at my own pace, I can do 4 semester back to back, do 3 then 1, 1 then 3, etc and I can also stack as many or as little courses as I want all at one time.
This thread is just to make a journal of sorts of what courses I'm taking, how I'm pacing myself out, any difficulties I'm having, etc. For my first semester, my classes are
DMAS 001 English 1
DMAS 002 Writing Grammatically
DMAS 003 Leadership in a Team Environment
DMAS 005 Operations Planning Process
DMAS 042 Racism and Discrimination
I'm going to try to update this a few times a week, at least as much as possible. Hopefully we can all take something away from my experience in this program. If anyone has any questions, concerns, or even words of advice, fire away.
In any case, wish me luck, my semester starts in about an hour and 40 minutes.
