My mistake, it's called an associate of arts in outdoor leadership. I'm just taking it for my own benefit while I'm waiting to be medically clear. I understand I'll still have to get a degree, which I plan to get through the military. The school I'm going to also has an aviation program, but I...

I'm actually 20. I will be applying for ROTP. I've decided against medical officer being my second choice, but instead I'm thinking about Air Combat Systems Officer as my second, then either Military Police Officer or Engineering Officer as my third. All of which I would apply for direct entry...

Just an update if anyone is interested, or has some wisdom to share. Some people have tried to discourage me but I'm not giving up. Everything has been going really well. I'm almost off my medication and feeling good. Been working a lot, volunteering a bit , and doing plenty of sports. In...

And to think I had any respect for you guys. My pets are more important to me than anything, so ya it is important to me, and if you can't relate that's your choice. I never said it would be the deciding factor, I just asked a question. What worries me more is the attitude in the forces. I don't...

Well at least my dog lives :p Edit:I worded my search differently and found this http://pawsfordeployment.com/, not sure if they take lizards and fish though, but at least that's something.

So to clarify I'd have to pay for them to stay at a pet hotel, there's no support program or anything? (I ask because the states has one)

Hello, I couldn't find a clear answer to this while searching, well at least not for the Canadian military. I'm interested in joining the military but I have pets; lizards, dogs, cats, fish. What would become of them if I was to be deployed?

Well I'll have to see. I'm not doing anything anytime soon. My anxiety levels have been improving a lot, so I'm not giving up. Even if I just try the reserves...we'll see, I might pursue something else. I'm taking this time to explore my interests.

I don't want to give up yet, I know this is what I want to do. Even if I'm accepted under my second or third job choice. I've been doing a lot better with my anxiety. I don't have anxiety under pressure, only when I have too long to sit and think. I know I can beat this. I hope it doesn't give...

I'm starting to understand being a pilot isn't really in my skill set.  I still would still like to join the air reserves at least. I'm not sure what to do with myself for now though, I have to wait two years after stopping my medication, seems so long.

I don't mind class at all. That doesn't look intimidating or anything, could be interesting. I just have a problem with anxiety right now, and school isn't helping.

A bit discouraged, having trouble in school due to extreme anxiety. I'm still getting 80s, but not the 90s I need. Still having problems with depression and my psychiatrist/counselor/dad/friend have all told me I'm not mentally capable of being in the military. I still want to, but maybe it's...

Hey guys, one last question. I've been searching the forums but I haven't found a clear answer; is air cadets a big deal? I'm I at a big disadvantage for not being in air cadets? I'm too old now. I ask because my backup is to be a vet, which requires a lot of my time and dedication, so I just...

Hey! Best of luck! I hope to apply as a pilot myself in a few years, always regretted not being in cadets as a kid. Sounds like you've got a good shot, again, good-luck! :) -Kristen

I actually live in Alberta. I  actually like lacrosse, and have all the equipment, but  I have barely played it so it's hard to sell myself to a team, I'm going to try and look into a team in the city though. I'm going to put all I can into this, I hope it's worth it and I'm accepted.
