I got the same email about not being as competitive, but the same "much to offer" line hah  ;)  Well, I am also almost done high school, so there likely are many of us that are still in school that want in, and a lot of people that are much more qualified and have better education and standing...

According to CBC, French forces have "pushed the Islamists out of Gao.."

I didn't think you were targeting me, what you said is true, yes.. I cannot vote, however it does not mean I don't want to be aware of the Canadian situations in regards to military and government, exactly, thank you. Well written. My history teacher always rambles about how it's up to the...

Hmm. Of course nobody has said what we should do... every option leads to criticism by everyone. 1. Send ground troops= "Oh, sending soldiers to die are we?" 2. Don't send ground troops= "Why aren't we supporting our ally France and aiding Mali?" 3. Don't do much, but do something... kind of=...

Romeo Dallaire speaks truthful, wise words. He knows from experience, if we stand idle, more people will die.. He obviously does not want another genocide occurring, such as the very one he was caught in the middle of in Rwanda... A great point about Canada/French/Mali. Some Canadians can speak...

Ugh, sorry, new laptop..    :-\ :facepalm: I am curious at what Harper's plans are in regards to his next military move. If a placement of ground troops is not an option for the CF, I was pondering what the next move for the forces will be, if not Mali. It doesn't seem like the Harper government...

http://ckom.com/content/fowler-blasts-tories-over-mali-troop-request I do think Harper will only allow a training mission... but what will the CF ground troops go while and after they start to head back from Afghanistan?

It's happening for everyone I'm sure.. it's happened before too, and it's blank all the time, it just needed to reset itself. Need to wait it out...

Yep, I got the same thing..

I'm kind of in the same boat here... From what I've read up on, asked for, and researched, there is pretty much no specific course that can perpare yourself for infantry.. so I've heard. I would consider taking subject courses that you are good at, or excel at. And I find it's quite odd to be...

Thanks a lot for the personal story... that sounds like something I'd look to do (but hopefully get accepted hah). What trade are you in?

Well, Canada has an incredibly low number of UN troops contributed, so we used to be a good contributor.. now Canada is ranked in the 50's for UN troops... And I have thought of my position for over a year, and I am willing to do what it takes. I'm not looking to be an officer, but might go for...

I'm in the same boat as you. You can still apply for infantry soldier, or any other occupation, however there has to be an opening in the trade, or a demand for them to continue processing your application while you're in the middle of the process. It's the end of the fiscal year now, and the...

I didn't know what to do either. Nothing really interested me that much besides sports and history, but I really want to join the forces now (I'm in grade 12). I'm kind of curious, why do you want to be in the army?

It's true, every night I check my email, and every call to my house.. I wish it's the RC  :P

Nice, nice. I am jelous, because I got no such email  :-\ Congrats though  :nod:

Nice, but which specific trade are you looking to get into?

Yeah thats great! Congrats!...  Especially seeing how difficult it is to get into one of those 3 trades, thats a good accomplishment.

Which trade?

That's some good information, and a good plan. Thanks.
