lw said:Actually, I am not in the CF. I'm thinking about joining and this is one of my considerations. Thanks.
Tipperary said:One of your considerations for joining the military is whether you will get benefits if you die or get seriously injured on duty... Sounds a little odd to me.

Tipperary said:I wasn't concerned whether my family would receive death benefits or not if I were killed, because: I figured if there were fellow Canadians in Afghanistan in danger's way, why wasn't I?
I'm not saying looking at those things is bad; it's just odd to me, because the only thing holding my decision to join was waiting for my appointment with the specialist about my knees.

PuckChaser said:Ask them when you sign up. I have loan protector insurance on my credit line/credit card with RBC, and they currently cover military members who are killed overseas. Its an exemption made in the rules, not sure if it will carry on after this mission ends whenever that might be.
