hi, i'm signing up, passed all the tests and stuff, and looking to make a career out of the forces. i put my first choice as sigs, but after thinking about it for a bit, i'm not sure. i think both trades are short of people, so i was told by a buddy in the forces that there basically no chance of re-mustering. basically what i'm thinking is, if i'm going to spend a career in the forces in a job, with little or no chance of changing jobs, i want to make sure i'm in something i want to do. i have an electronics technologist diploma, so that's why i was joining sigs. it seemed like it was the best job that had anything to do with electronics that wouldn't leave me stuck in an office for the rest of my life. well, since i started my application, the video description on the dnd website wasn't working, but i checked it out last night, and it just kind of confused me. it didn't really tell me what kind of life i'd have. it showed some people working in indoor locations, typing away on a computer, and then it showed some people hanging around outside, some people sitting in a vehicle of some sort. now heres the deal, i'm good when it comes to electronics, and i'd really like to have a job that has something to with electronics, but i DON"T want to be a desk jockey. are there and units you can try to get into, or specialty training where you can get into different things. last night i started to think about whether or not i should just go infantry, but at the same time i think it would be quite a waste of an education. so basically, i guess what i'm asking, is there any way i can make sigs, (or any other electronics job for that matter), so that i'm not some kind of desk jockey?
or, would it be easier to re-muster between trades that are in distress? or maybe is somebody out there that's in sigs that can tell me what it's like, is there any opportunity for different types of jobs in sigs, how much opportunity is there for tours, what do you generally do on them, etc..
