This may be in the wrong forum and if so I will happily move to the appropriate forum, but I thought this would be a safe bet considering it isn't a CT or OT.
I am in the 3rd year of the ROTP program, having my education subsidized. I have completed phases 1 and 2 and been in the upper echelon when considering competency during courses.
In November I was told that my degree of study (BSc - General Studies) was unacceptable for my MOSID (arty) (to boil my blood a bit, some of the courses that would have been acceptable were Poli Sci, Sociology, Criminology, Basket Weaving, etc). I was made aware of this because someone had drafted an arbitrary list, dictating what degrees were acceptable for each trade. I was also told that BSC-GS wasn't listed as an acceptable degree for ANY trade. I'm thinking that someone merely did not make an inclusive list - as my degree wasn't on the scale at all (1-unacceptable, 2-acceptable, 3-preferred). At that point I was given a set of choices:
1 - Release from the CF without financial commitment or obligatory service.
2 - Remain an OCdt and serve my oblig. service that I incurred during my period of subsidy (2mths service/1mth subsidy)
3 - Relinquish rank and serve as an NCM.
4 - Change degree of study to something accepted for my trade or otherwise, but even using credits I've obtained toward something like Chem or Phys I would be looking at a MIN of 2.5 yrs school.
I chose #3, simply because I do not want to incur further service and I don't want to release. It is now nearing APRIL and I am yet to hear anything (I've turned in my memo[DEC], my COC is aware of my intentions). I have BMOQ and BMOQ(L) (formerly CAP) - which is the equivalent of PLQ from what I'm told.
I understand an OCdt doesn't warrant a whole ton of attention, but are they trying to hold out until my courses are no longer valid and need to be repeated, or possibly just waiting until I release?
Any insight would be helpful. Thank you!
[edit] I should have added that in the mean time I am working at a Res Unit working full time (EWAT) to avoid being AWOL.
