Yes,
I did consider a career in the regular force.
Positions were few, and It was hard to get in in the late 80's early '90's. An opportunity did come up, where the PPCLI was offering positions and a a few guys from the regiment signed up. I did not jump at that chance, and I surely regretted it. I even considered going to Britain to Join the regular Army there, but thought it best to come back to Canada. I tried College for a bit, and found it boring. The tour came and I said this is an excellent opportunity to do some good training, go overseas, and possibly use it to enter the Regular force.
After being injured, although I jumped right into to working with the military, I turned down many, many offers to go right into the battalion. It was like I just did not want anything to do with the regular day in and day out work. I decided the reserves was good enough.
Do I regret not taking all those chances to go Regular, at times I sure do. But I would rather regret the things that I have done, than the ones I haven't.
