Hello,
Im new to this forum and still exploring all the information and posts you guys have been discussing. I would like to introduce myself and ask a few questions to those that are currently employed in the CF or if there is any recruiters out there to give their best opinion strait up to me before I walk into a recruiting office.
Im currently 28 years old and have tried to join the CF 3 times in my life since 17. All in which have resulted in failure to reach a respectable score into a MOC that I would like. The only ones that were ever open to me were Steward and Cook. Not saying those are bad jobs but I would like to have more options. I always wanted a military career like the rest of my family but it seems like its just not happening. So after my 3rd time taking the aptitude test they basically BANNED me from taking it again until I got some counselling in math. Witch I found silly because I have my OSSD and a year of college.
After my 3rd time I found refuge in the security industry. I excelled very quickly until I took my shot at law enforcement. Im currently serving as a peace officer for a very respectable employer in which current CF members are jumping at from the MP trade.
But it doesn’t matter to me because I feel its not fulfilling nor me.
Im 6 foot 4 and a smidge under the over weight mark (217 lbs) haven’t been in shape since high school but starting to since last month. My sister is joining the Air force and now that I see her doing it I want to as well. Unfortunately I really don’t have any skills, never completed my college but all I know is law and security. I think MP would be a good fit but they are so ANAL about their recruits having Police Foundations or shit like that. Personally I think that’s a crock of shit. Ive been able to obtain jobs that require Police Foundations with out having it. But it doesn’t matter because im willing to do anything or go anywhere as long as I fill that void in my life with what I know is right. To join the CF and serve as my grandfathers did.
So now that you know my story I want to know if a recruiter is gonna work with me on this education BS where I need a math credit. Because I KNOW the CF needs people and im willing to give my life. But Im not going to go back and get a math credit that takes weeks and weeks to get and pay over $145 for.
I seen on the news were offering immigrants from the middle east to take officer positions strait off the boat. That’s BS!!!
