Cadet Military Training

The College is fully residential.  Cadets (other than UTPNCM) live together in a military environment.  All cadets are required to take part in a demanding routine designed to raise them to a high standard of physical fitness, drill, dress and deportment.  Military training is designed to produce officers with a strong sense of:  duty, integrity, loyalty, courage, self-discipline, self-confidence, and ésprit de corps.

Cadets are responsible for the planning, organization and execution of many routine RMC activities.  This practical “hands-on” approach provides all cadets the opportunity to develop as leaders.  Although physically and mentally demanding, training that subjects anyone to personal indignities, illegal punishments, harassment, or "hazing" in any form is not condoned.

All cadets entering the College, less those in the UTPNCM, must pass a number of milestones before being accepted as a full-fledged member of the Cadet Wing. The most significant milestone, the obstacle course, is normally run at the end of the First Year Orientation Period (FYOP).  It is designed to prove to the First Year cadet that while obstacles may seem insurmountable they can in fact be overcome through a combination of teamwork, fitness, stamina and determination.
