Joining the Military?
    #15341000 -

So i had an intense epiphany a couple weeks ago, and realized I am going to apply for the Canadian Armed Forces.

I am wondering, anyone ever applied? What did you apply for? Did you make it in?

If you are/have been in Canadian Forces, what was basic training like, what are the job/career opportunities like besides basic Infantry or Armour..

What is the potential of getting these other jobs/trainings/careers?
but the local reserves couldn't(or just didnt) really tell me anything, besides that I would most likely have to be infantry or armour for a couple years first, before I could progress to another position.. (awr... :frown: )

And even if you arent a part of the Canadian Forces, share your input, what do you think about the Military, etc..?

Whats says you? :o

Well if you get a job as say...a combat engineer or heavy machinery operator or computer specialist that'll give you solid careers experience in civilian life.

I am joining the Navy reserve for college benefits. They pay you a monthly... I think 300 dollars and they also pay 40% of your tuition. That is a deal if you ask me! With the reserve one year of college will only cost me around 5,000 dollars. That is great.

I would like to hopefully find a job in the Navy that relates to one of my majors. That way I can gain something more from the entire experience.

Plus it looks sparkling on your resume.

I have been literally fighting my way into the Navy for 1 year. 1 year!!! At first I was having problems with a misdemeanor and I finally got around that. Now I am having problems getting all the proper paperwork together for an eye waiver since I had Lasik eye surgery. Just a week ago I finally got all the paper work and hopefully soon I will be good to swear in!

For me its college, life experience, and resume. I am and I want to make myself known as an upstanding citizen.

The 3 big ones..

Volunteer firefighting
Masters Degree
Navy
etc..

Regardless of getting hired somewhere I am taking an active role in my country and finding out first hand what its all about.

I too want to serve in the armed services.  I am an American and am set on the USMC.  I have many friends in the military and would say 3/4 of them love it, but 1/4 of them despise the fuck out of it.  I think I'll enjoy it, It's only 4 years and it's a dream I've wanted to accomplish for years.  I am working on my college degree though and am debating on whether or not after graduation to enlist or wait for an officer slot to open, the way it looks these days though, because of the troop draw down,that it may be in my best interest to enlist than go officerbest interest, lol, best interest would be to sit at a desk and rake in money, lol, money....

I want to be infantry, no other reason to join the USMC imo.  What scares you away from infantry? Someone's gotta do it.... Death before dishonor.

Maybe someday we'll cross paths.




Apply for the ROTC. Or depending on how far you are in your college edumacation finish your year and enlist cause as I recall the Marine Corps gives you like 80,000 for college after you leave the military and (I think) they pay for the whole thing if you get a degree while you're on active service.

Anyone pursuing a military career for discounted education isn't joining for the right reason in my opinion.
