Military education and training

Students are referred to as Officer Cadets (OCdt) in English and as Élève-officier (élof) in French, or for those in the Navy, Naval Cadet (NCdt) and Aspirant de marine (aspm). As an RMC cadet, military training begins with Phase I with the Initial Assessment Period (IAP) at the Canadian Forces Leadership and Recruit School Saint-Jean. During this ten-week period prior to the first academic year, the cadets take the first half of the Basic Officer Training Course (BOTC). The second half of BOTC, called the Basic Officer Training Period (BOTP), is a seven week course held during the summer period between first and second years. After the completion of BOTP, those cadets who are not yet bilingual are usually enrolled in a seven week period of Second Language Training (SLT) at Canadian Forces Language School Detachment Saint-Jean. The remaining summers are spent completing Phase II, which are environmental training courses (depending on whether the cadet is Army, Navy or Air force). On the job training courses are also available to a number of cadets during the summer periods. During Phases III and IV, students take trade specific training courses. Military education and training is a process which intends to establish and improve the capabilities of military personnel in their respective roles. ...

First Year Orientation Period

First Year Orientation Period, (FYOP) is the most demanding experience for many cadets' RMC, if not military, career. FYOP takes place during the first month of the academic year. It can be compared to Frosh week at civilian universities. FYOP begins with the Arch parade where the entire First Year class is marched onto College grounds by their FYOP staff consisting of Third and Fourth Years. To meet Wikipedias quality standards and appeal to a wider international audience, this article may require cleanup. ...

During the course of FYOP, First Year cadets are required to keep an exceptionally high standard of dress and deportment. They are required to march at all times. Physical Training is conducted, with long runs up neighbouring Fort Henry, Ontario hill a frequent occurrence. Inspections of room standards and dress are also frequent. For the duration of FYOP, First Years are not permitted to leave RMC or receive visitors. Mail and phone calls are allowed but are limited. For other uses, see March (disambiguation). ...

There are several unofficial traditions that have been developed for FYOP. First Years are always woken up by music played over loud speakers, typically with "O Fortuna" from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff because of its fearsome effects and its duration, by which First Years must have finished dressing and preparing for inspection. Prior to lights out, First Years are required to sing Billy Joel's "Goodnight Saigon" from The Nylon Curtain as loudly as possible. After dark, it is customary for Second Year cadets to help First Years by bringing comfort foods such as Tim Horton's donuts, hamburgers, or pizza. Also, another digression involves Second Years leading First Years in mischievous stunts such as painting "Brucie" the statue in Squadron colours, stealing mascots of other squadrons, or arranging roof tiles into Squadron numbers.

The culmination of the FYOP is the Obstacle Course. The Obstacle Course lasts a little over an hour, consists of thirteen obstacles built by each squadron located around the college grounds. Obstacles such as a 12-foot wall and truck pulling are designed to test teamwork and physical fitness of First Years. The First Year flights are judged on the time it takes to complete each obstacle. The completion of the obstacle course signals the end of FYOP. Afterwards, First Years are given a parade where they are officially welcomed into RMC and join the Cadet Wing. Cadets are then allowed to see their friends and relatives after a month, and allowed the freedom to leave college grounds under the condition that they wear their College uniform.
