Some quick mental math, which I should be doing in school right now :(. If I join at 18, do 35 years, I will be 53, fairly close to a normal retirement age, let’s say I had made it to the top of Warrant officer (is that actually realistic) I would be making 79 920 a year, not including benefits...

Well I would hope to do 25+ but if something would happen or if my body could no longer handle it. I know there are other trades to remuster to, and I know that is what a lot of the Infanteers do when they feel like they can’t do it anymore. (To Loachman: Thanks for the great reply! As to the...

That gave me a good laugh Thanks for the reply!

Hello again, I figured I will build off of this post (because this applies the same to it), I want to talk with my Mother about my desire (you could call it, I am 15 though, so nothing is set in stone of course) to be an Infanteer. She has been very very reasonable and accepting of my want to...

You got there first I see, well, thank you for clarifying what I thought.

Is this true? In Canada? (Reason I say this is you have an American flag and I would hope that no current member of our military would use an American flag to represent themselves) We also don’t use the term “enlist”, we just don’t, maybe you are an old guy who now lives in America, but then...

Okay lol, at first thought I doubted the whole wall thing, then I thought “Well, I wasn’t the one who fought in one, so I guess I’m wrong.”.

I understood that, just didn’t understand what I was supposed to learn from it.

I am officially confused.

Huh, didn’t think of it that way. Thank you for the reply Loachman!

Most of the reasons that people don’t like Shilo is because it is in the middle of nowhere and has the normal Manitoba problems. Basically, there is no problem. Same with Pet I guess, middle of nowhere, but also (thanks for that petawawa thread, I had seen it before but never got to the last...

It just seems kinda odd I guess, that there would be the possibility for burning liquid to spew all over you, and that you could easily get an arm or a leg crushed by the movement of the tank. Thanks for the reply!

I may have worded something wrong, sorry, I have a horrible head cold and have been trying to get some rest throughout the day. My mother did not say the part about the half-brain, that I got from non infantry personnel making fun of the infantry (you could say). My mother just said she didn’t...

Okay, true, I shouldn’t be so selfish, it makes sense then that anyone coming to find more information find everything that may apply to themselves in the same place. Sorry, and thank you for responding!

Thank you for replying, I posted because I decided that there were a few questions about a few different trades that I was hoping to get some more specific answers to. I have mostly gotten those, but I have gotten a lot of the vague stuff. But hey, some information is better than none every time.

GAP, I found a thread where it seemed there were a lot of knowledgable people, if you don’t have an answer I would kindly ask that you not reply to it, it’s simply common sense. Thank you

Okay, again, feeling real welcomed by you. I mean I have been looking it up for a few hours today. Seriously, I have been looking, and after not finding anything I decided I would post the question, as that is what the next step is according to the rules. As to your “Get off it kid.…” okay...

Seriously man? I have been looking that type of stuff up for a few hours now trying to figure it out, either I am not looking it up properly (too specific or too vague), or I have been finding stuff that is very outdated and probably is not even relevant to today. I am just trying to get some...

The word “also” was there for a reason, I want to help protect Canada and our interests from threats, but I ALSO want to directly help people after natural disasters. I hope you understand. (To daftandbarmy: I hope that didn’t come off rudely, I meant no insult to the infantry, I was trying to...

I gather that you are a combat engineer (wow look at my detective skills  :sarcasm: ) how often do the Engineers do humanitarian missions, either domestic or overseas. Thank you! Also, what does Chimo come from, I understand it is a greeting and is used as the engineers Cheer and all, but...
