Infantry question

[HollywoodHitman]

Keep in mind that regardless of what rank you achieve, you should seek to be the best you can be at your job. Many excellent soldiers use the infantry as a stepping stone to build self confidence, toughness and credibility with other soldiers. This is a useful thing as often people and interests change over time and you may want to move to a different trade......Or you might not. At least you have the background and you will have a benefit of being a combat arms soldier. One step at a time! You'll do fine.

Aspiring L.I.,

Be careful what you wish for.  Particularly if you have little understanding of what your goal actually entails.  Being a Commanding Officer in today's Army is most decidedly not all that it has cracked up to be.  If it were, then we wouldn't be seeing outstanding CO's such as LCol Shandy Vida (CO 1 PPCLI) resigning half-way through their command tours.....

I would humbly suggest that sub-unit (eg. company/squadron-level) command is the "pinnacle" for commissioned job satisfaction in today's Canadian Army.  It certainly was for me.

Something to think about....

Thank you. I appreciate the suggestions, I do not have any specific need for being a CO, but I would like to be a great soldier, someday. I will work at it and when I get into the CF I will let you all know how it works out.
