Life As A First Year Cadet At RMC 

You got this

Pilots were a very demanded trades back in 2011, when I joined. I earned my wings in Air Cadets, but ended up as an army officer. As for you - sky is the limit. Good Luck!

Current pilot training is super backed up, I was also going for pilot but was called by my recruiter saying there was a “9 year backlog” you’re fifteen though, I hope it clears up :)

@@TTSilentDeath So nothing changed from 10+ years ago. Back then pilot candidates waited 2 or more years to get qualified.

@@TTSilentDeath not a 9 year backlog.

TDV NGC! Is the underground newspaper "Slasher Times" still a thing at RMC?

Thanks for your kind words, we hope you have a good day as well! We hope you are enjoying cadets and good luck in applying in the future!

Remember that school marks aren't everything. When I got into RMC, my average was 63%, however I served for 6 years in Air Cadets, became a power pilot, and was socially active. So bad marks are not be-all end-all, recruiting officers are looking for a well-rounded individual. Capt. Tuvalbaev

Wishing him luck, thank you for his service and your support!

There is someone around your age graduating from the military college this year. Sure you're a little late but it's still doable

Why were you deemed medically unfit? My sibling and I are going to try to apply for ROTP this year, but I'm not sure if I can get in.

@@NicoNebula I was deemed medically unfit, as I had childhood asthma which as I grew older I grew out of, apparently I still had the medications for when I was 2-5 still on my medical file for the next 12 years which caused it, I managed to overturn the medical and will hopefully be going to RMC for the 2025-26 year as a pilot, as I have passed my aircrew selections test, if you want to know anything else ill keep on this.

@@soapyhorizon5465 thank you 😊

Good luck, make it in for me would ya.

I still got a couple years to go haha

@@epicgr1ff Of course!

Bro how do I joine the cadet university

Got my offer recently. Keep an eye on your application, and your head up!

All styles of facial hair and sideburns are authorized.

This shouldn’t immediately disqualify you from applying, as this would be at the discretion of the Medical Officer. You can contact your local recruiting centre and ask to speak with medical staff for further guidance. You can find their contact information here: forces.ca/en/find-a-recruiting-centre/. Do you have any further questions? CAF Virtual Recruiting Team

If you can still pass basic training and do all the required training and respect the standard I don't see an issue with that.

Things have definitely changed

I want to be there too bro any place for me to apply

CAF recruitment center is the place where your application begins.

@@MrAkraevoi I’m sadly a bot young still but I’m doing what I can now, thanks though.

Basic training is challenging both physically and mentally , but part of it is helping you reach the required fitness level, you can learn more about what to expect here: forces.ca/en/how-to-join/#bt

I by no means consider myself athletic, but made it through just fine. Yes, it’s a lot of work and it is easier if you come in with a stronger athletic background but the staff and your peers support you to help you grow stronger, so it’s definitely possible

There is no difference in the application process for RMC St-Jean or Kingston.

Can foreigners like ' me: Pakistani can apply for it?

@@yaaronkayaar4171 i don't think so. you need to be a Canadian citizen.

Learn more about how to apply to the RMC: www.rmc-cmr.ca/en/registrars-office/apply

You can checkout the admissions eligibility here: www.rmc-cmr.ca/en/registrars-office/admissions

Yes, as a university degree is required for the Pilot trade, the CAF will pay successful recruits to complete a bachelor degree program in the Royal Military College System. You can learn more about the program here: forces.ca/en/paid-education/rotp

What do you mean by successful recruits?

​@@treefrog4321probably means you have to pass your basic training.

Your application for a paid education program is also an application to become a member of the CAF for the length of your training and specific period of service afterwards. All applicants are required to meet both the general qualifications for the CAF, as well as the academic requirements for your field of study or technical program. To qualify for admission to the CAF and a paid education plan, you must: Be a Canadian Citizen or permanent resident -Meet the minimum medical standard required for CAF enrolment -Pass pre-enrolment tests including the Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT), an assessment of aptitudes and suitability for your choice of occupation -Be 16 years of age to submit an application (with parent/legal guardian consent if you are under 18) -Meet educational requirements of the program (different programs have different entry requirements) You can learn more here: forces.ca/en/paid-education/

No you're good, theres a guy graduating this year that is in his thirties

Boo hoo

RMC is a unit... So they get patches... Pretty simple honestly

@@therealmrsteve In my time, you would not get shoulder flashes until you got qualified at least until the phase 3 of your army training. Very few cadets managed to to so before their 4-th year. We respected them. Having no trade, and not at least partially qualified for your trade, screams "showing off". I was an RMC cadet who never went to the RCAC before graduating, and became a crew commander, but not a troop commander. I never whined about having an RCAC cap badge, or having an RCAC flash on my combats. So suck it up buttercups, and wait until you get regimental flashes after Ph.4.

They only offer engineering and sciences degrees i think

No, medical doctors who join the Canadian forces come from civilian universities.

The CAF offers a career of Medical Officers. Learn more about this career, including entry plans: forces.ca/en/career/medical-officer/?

Basically they send you to a civilian university and they proceed to pay your studies and pay you

You have no clue.... whatsoever
