Hello. I'm 22 years old and will be graduating university with a major in European history next year, with either a B+ or an A- average. I'm interested in enlisting as an officer and had several questions.
1. Would it be possible to continue my education while still in the military? Is my history degree, as seen by the army, even remotely useful? Would I be paid if I continued my education in relevant fields? Would my educational level affect my rank, pay?
2. My interests are generally in armoured tactics and logistics. Are these reasonable fields with room for advancement for an enlisted officer?
3. What is, hypothetically, the best route to go for advancing in ranks? Do the Canadian forces have a general staff system?
4. Is there any options for foreign posting, would I have any say in all in where I am posted?
5. Is there any lateral mobility in the Forces? If I am not happy doing logistics, is it possible that I could switch to armoured?
Thank you for your time!
