Thx for reading my post, tis my first. It might come across as a little wierd, but im really needing some advice.
Anyone who has experinced working with someone with a similar style, or if anyone has any suggestions of where they think i would better fit in let me know. Ive provided a list of my accomplishments and some of my personal qualities to help give you abetter idea of who I am. So let me know where i could best serve the CF. Im having problems with this choice because i dont know in detail how enlisted vs officer infantry differs in regaurds to my situation.
Current Status:
Age 22
Completed 2 years of Commerce degree, towards an Operations Management Major.
History:
Age 8 - Lost mother + Sister is car accident. Left to fend for myself in many cases along the way. Learnt to be tough and learnt how to survive.
Age 16 - Soccer team captain for regional champions, Provicial long distance running champ
- Started my first fight club out of my garage, began to study sport fighting and martial arts.
- worked in a computer store did both sales/service
Age 17 - started my first ecommerce company, by age 19 had 7 employees and was the largest company in northern AB. Sold the company and moved to the city to start school.
Age 19 - Began treeplanting in the summers, and accelerated to the top 10% of planters making an average of $400/day or
Age 21,22 - Completed to at least an intermediate level - WingChun Kung Fu, Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, MauyThai, multiple knife fighting styles, and mastered 5 self defense 'systems'. Developed and instructed [last 16 months] my own fighting system (urban combat) and have trained many people including semi-pro sport fighters, security gaurd, bouncers, and a couple cops.
Age 22 - Completed my 3rd calander year (2nd acedemic year) of collage with honors, debt free. Also ran 2 group fitness classes for 'Women' and 'Fighters'
This summer, after sustaining an inflamed ACL in the first two weeks of treeplanting [because i went like a bat outta hell right off the start], decided to quit in order to keep my knee good for my military career. Now currently managing a lawn company with 10 employees. Redevloped the entire corporate image, created a new GPS based logistics system, and increased productivity by 40%, all inside 3 weeks.
SO. This is where ive been. To sum up, my one life passion is to motivate and lead others by example. Ive always wanted to join the army, and I belive that my skill set and mentality will compliment it. Previously ive thought officer, but a couple enlistee friends have said i would rule as a sergant. While with this lawn company, eery day im up at 5:00 to hit the gym, then im the first one to work and the last one to leave. We usually do 12 hours shifts then I have 2-3 hours of paperwork each night. I have never demanded respect, but earn it by proving that im here to bust my ass of work my employees, and to provide them with good conditions, so that we can all kick ass. ... Living the plant was the best thing ive done, being wet, and dirty everyday and always.. with only a tent, or less.. I love it. I pretty much want to live on full time deployment. For me, there is nothing better, than teaching someone how todo something, then kicking there ass the whole time to make sure they are the best at it. Until now, most occupations ive looked at/done are either too labour focused or too intelect focused, Im looking for something that will push be both physically and mentally to my max on a daily basis.
Some comments that relate to my choices are:
Friend and Former Marine - "Even after the marines, you are the biggest motivator I know"
Former JTF2 [Planted with him] - "If you can go this hard here at the plant, you are going to sleep your way through basic, then for JTF2 it will just depend on how bad you want it"
Friends dad back in highschool - "You are going to be the richest man ive ever known"
Anyone of my friends or enemies often say - "This is the craziest guy around, you dont what to fuck with him"
Former employer - "You are a reliable go-to guy"
Former fight student and pending army enlistment - "I would be proud to serve under you"
I dont fear death or inflicting pain on other people. I get bored easy with non-challanging situations, which leaves me always acceling for the next best thing. I love dealing with word problems, math problems, or personal problems. I belive that I could fit in perfectly with the army lifestyle, but im not exactly sure which one would suit be best, and challange me most. I know i have the smarts to be a good leutenant, but I also have the balls to be a good sergeant. SOO its a toss up. Money makes no differance to me, I just want to kick ass at what i do. If I go officer, I deffinarty want to be a platoon commander (not sure how CF does that), and enlisted I think id have a blast as squad leader.. Either way im joining, and either way im gunning for JTF2.
LET ME KNOW..
PEACE
