From the Graduating Class of Royal Roads 1952 / RMC 1954 to the RMC Graduating Class of 2025
As Alumni, we were enormously proud of the achievements of our Classmates in the Canadian Armed Forces in Canada and abroad, in Business and Industry, in Academia, in Athletics, in Public Service and in Community Service roles. Our unique Canadian Military Colleges experience included a huge level of respect for the great many Alumni who have contributed so significantly to Canada , the world, and even as astronauts.
Dear Members of RMC Graduating Class 2025 From the Class of 1966
I was born in Scotland one month before the end of the War in Europe. Growing up, I learned from my parents and my older siblings (in words and photos) the terror of the Nazi Blitz, and the bravery of The Few during the Battle of Britain. They told me about hordes of Nazi aircraft flying over our village enroute to bomb the shipbuilding yards in Glasgow – and seeing some of these invaders crashing to earth in flames as close as a mile from our village.
Best Wishes to the Class of 2025 From the Class of 1975
In the 50 years since, we have faced numerous challenges, accomplished many things and experienced much joy in our lives.
Congratulations to the Class of 2025 from the Class of 1978
Advice I gave my daughters: show up on time, do your job, and you will be in the top 10%. They did and they are. And my lesson learned: say yes to opportunity, if you don’t, someone else will. Oh, and having recently taken some city college credit classes I will add: Spend more time listening than transmitting. It’s amazing what you will learn.
Letter to the Graduating Class of 2025 From the Class of 1979
Congratulations to you all! All your hard work and studying has paid off. You are now graduates of the Canadian Military Colleges. A fine distinction. You have made it through some of the best training there is for modern life – whether military or civilian.
BRAVO ZULU! to the Class of 2025 of Canada’s finest educational institution and military academy from the Class of 1980
Always remember your classmates, the ones you studied with, played sports with, and trained with during the summers, including those with whom you didn’t associate or see eye-to-eye. Remember all the recruits with whom you began this journey, yet who moved on before graduation; they are your classmates too. Keep in contact with your entire group, for you form an exceptional network of professionals who share a unique bond, and you can call on each other in the years to come.
To the Class of 2025 from the Class of 1984
Congratulations on completing such an important milestone in your development as an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. Although it was many years ago, I can still remember my pride in marching off the parade square for the very last time. One thing I have taken with me from that day is the connection with…
To the graduates of RMC, Class of 2025 — congratulations from the Class of 2002
Our class is uniquely placed to state the following: RMC is perhaps one of the best places to prepare you for the “unpreparable”. Our class — the first to graduate following the tragic events of September 11th — joined our more senior alumni on missions we never imagined so soon after graduation. We’ve seen classmates lead combat operations on the ground, conduct air sovereignty operations, and sail in naval operations off the Horn of Africa, all in support of critical efforts in the War on Terror.
