  1. Exactly what I thought, I dont know why these guys though this way, probably dont have a clue about life in the army.

    If anything it's more benfitial then most civilian jobs, medical/dental 20 vacations days for a private right off the bat, paid education, and alot more with a minimum 35k (CAD) starting salary while you're in basic and it just goes up from there.

  2. So I am currently in the process of joining the canadian forces, communications reserch operator, combat engineer & intelligence officer are the three postings I applied for.

    The weird thing is what my friends and family think of it, for one alot of them thought that the military does not pay you when you become a member, I was baffled when I heard that and then I asked more and more people if they thought so, and yup they thought you dont get paid.

    Just wondering if any of you had friends who thought so too? Maybe this is why alot of people are not intrested and are just miss-informed?or it's just a canadian culture thing.

    Alot of my friends also though the only thing the military does is infantry stuff and killing and that just scared the shit out of some people, like there are alot of trades and jobs in the military then just fighting.

     

    Have any of you vets or military members experienced this?

    So sign me up.

    Problems from my side: I am  drowning in work atm and other very serious real life shit. A lot is happening in parallel and I have a hard time handling everything atm. If we do this, then only on a weekend, and with a bit of planning in advance, please.

    No problem man I'll see if I can get an event started to run every weekend and will get a calendar going.
