Hey there! I'm currently 16, in Air cadets, and applied for glider this year. I didn't get in (was VERY close) but I'll be staffing this year. Going for power next year hopefully :)

I joined cadets for one sole purpose: To help me join RMC, and become a fighter pilot in the RCAF one day.

Any tips on what to do? Things you would have done differently/ done/ not done at all? Things to study before the CFASC and Aptitude test? How to improve the chances of getting into RMC and also getting selected for pilot? (I have perfect eyesight and am physically fit)

It's been my life goal since I was 6 to become a fighter pilot, and I'm willing to do anything for it. Any tips will be appreciated. I wish you best of luck with your training!

Isn't it because you start hallucinating? Your heartbeat sounds extremely loud to you and you can hear the sound of blood flow?

I see, thanks a lot! 856 Squadron, Pickering.

I want to go through RMC as their ROTP is something very desirable. I visited the campus last summer for DCIC and honestly loved the atmosphere and people. The food is awesome too!

Thanks a lot! May I ask, how were your high school marks before you got in? I ended with an 80% in Functions (grade 11) and 84% in chemistry. Taking core french currently, alongside physics and english. English is by far the hardest course for me, I got a 72% in grade 9 and 73% in grade 10. Not too confident about that, as you need a minimum 75% average for grade 12. (Currently in grade 11).

Also, I'm currently not a citizen, but will be applying this August. I'm not sure if you are able to answer it, but are there chances for getting a citizenship waiver?

Thanks a lot for your help! Hope to see you in the skies sometime :)

You dooo, that's why I'm debating on whether to take a year off or request s waiver as it says special cases may be honored.

Oh, but for Seneca (CEOTP) don't you get reimbursed after you complete your education? Not during? As for RMC, they pay for everything while you're doing it.
