i have wanted to be an infantryman since i was 7 years old and im finishing school in soonish and i have a bunch of questions and hopefully you can answer some so i can see if this job is right for me.
1. how long are your work hours (from what i have seen its 8ish hours a day)
2. what is the difference between deployments and exercises ( i have seen conflicting answers on this)
3. are deployments mandatory
4. how many exercises do you do per year
5. how long are these exercises
6. in general how many weeks/nights per year do you spend in the field
7. do you enjoy these weeks/nights in the field or do they always suck and you wish never you joined
8. how many of these weeks/nights are mandatory
9. during dp1 (which is 17 weeks according to forces.ca) what percentage of nights do you spend in the field vs in the barracks
10. also during dp1 how much free time do you get ( i assume little do none but may as well ask)
11.what does the average day look like ( not at bmq or dp1)
i realise thats a lot of questions, but even tough its something i have wanted to do for over a decade i want to know exactly what i would be getting into.
thanks if you answer
