A couple of questions about joining the Army

[mapledonutmouth]

Hey there, so right now I'm in Secondaire 4 in Quebec, and I've been exploring in finding a career in the Army, in the Regular Force. I've done some researching about & have some questions, which was directed by me to "Ask a Recruiter", so here it goes.

I've been wanting to enter the Infantry. Apparently with the training mission in Afghanistan is over, they're not looking for any more soldiers (Infantry) at the moment. Is this true?

I understand that when you join, you'll be doing whatever they need to do, but take your preference (i.e. Infantry) into consideration. Is this true? (I'm not sure if I should ask this one here)

Also does enlisting right after high school speed up the process of recruitment? I read that they do security, financial, etc. on you, and that could take a while, but if you're fresh out of a very well known high school then that shouldn't really be a problem, right?
