dangles thanks for your reply

Hey everyone just got a question. I'm currently wanting to join as a Non Commissioned Member, and my mom is wanting me to get a degree. I know there are different programs to apply for that will allow you as a Non Commissioned Member to get a degree. Now my question, when I sign up for 3 years...

Thank you

Another question, if i join as an infantry soldier would i be able to change trades later in my career, to say a combat engineer? just curious

MJP thanks a lot for that I'm just looking them up now. Is it difficult to get accepted into these programs? And do they look at your high school marks or your career so far?

Thanks again, because to be honest I knew that there would be paperwork but I simply thought it would only be a small amount. But now that you have explained the importance of it, it does not change the career path I chose. Another question, now that I realize that most CF careers lead to a...

First thank you for replying. Now I have no problem with doing paperwork, but it is the amount of it that some what worries me. From the posts that I have read it appears that most of a days work is stuck in the office. If this is untrue then that would clear it all up. I just want to know the...

This is my first time posting and I've found some amazing information on the site. I'm in grade 11 and wanting to apply to ROTP. I'm wanting to become an Infantry Officer, but after reading some of the posts, I learned that Infantry Officers spend a majority of their time doing paper work in an...
