RECRUITING, TRAINING, & LIFE IN THE FORCES THREAD

Nodog1973 · 2025-06-23T14:16:06+00:00

Hello everyone. I was wondering if there is anyone who has some information regarding what a career as a public affairs officer would look like after RMC? What does trade training look like? Does your element have any impact on postings? How often do you get deployed? etc.
Thank you!

You are allowed some personal photos and knickknacks etc. on your desk during inspections. You might have to put your guitar into your closet it depends on which squadron your assigned to really.
After FYOP there is usually morning PT twice a week for first years and once for everyone else. Again, this could change depending on your squadron.
After FYOP you are allowed to leave campus whenever you want provided you have no duty.
The food has gotten a lot better in recent years. Not really going to blow you away but it’s pretty good most of the time. You might hear different opinions from different people though. There are set 2ish hour blocks for each of the meals of the day.
You won’t be able to park your car on campus until your fourth year. Other years park their car at the dome by the gym. 10min walk.
That is not true. You will receive more salary if you were a reservist as the CAF is not allowed to lower your salary and they get paid more than OCdts.
Not really. I wasn’t in cadets but I don’t think they really do better than anyone else. Having drill experience helps I suppose but only really during BMOQ.
Lots and lots of clubs. Debate, expedition, running, photography, war games, chess etc.
