Looking at applying

[Hamel31]

So I am looking at applying this week to join and I was just wondering a few things.

1. What about bankruptcy? I have been discharged for almost 3 yrs now, will that play negatively?
2. What about the amount of jobs I have in the last 5 years? I have 8 or 9, I just never knew what I wanted to do and when I saw a better opportunity somewhere else I took it.  I mean I have a wife and 2 kids to support and waiting for a raise or a higher position in a retail company is kinda dumb!
3. Does age matter? I am 28 going on 29, so will that play negatively compared to someone who is 20?
4. What is the competition like for infantry? Is it hard to get in?

Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on the subject.

Ah!  You have come to the right place.  All of your questions have been answered in quite a bit of detail in various topics covering just those questions.  You just have to read them and get some very discriptive answers to your questions.

I'll answer #4

There is a lot of competition for all trades, Im not even sure if Infantry is hiring this year. Don't be afraid of competition.

Your first step should be speaking with a recruiter.
