Hi,
I didn't know where to put this(either in R. Process or just under Recruiting). I'm a student interested in the army and don't know whether to choose Armour or Artillery, both seem interesting but being 6'4 I think I'd have trouble getting into LAV's & whatnot if I decide to do a CT to P.Reg. I looked at the site for the 30th Field Regiment Royal Canadian Artillery and being in Ottawa, they seem great. Sorry for the rant but seeing as I still have almost 2 years left of university, my question was should I apply in january seeing as how the process takes about 3 months(from what I've read on this site on average). I've searched quite a bit and meet the criteria, but I don't think I should apply now because I have another job when school starts up again(Sept 3, 2008). I'm saying January 2009 because this would give me the time to make it for summer BMQ(hopefully held in May'ish or whenever the military decides during the time off from school).

All and any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
