I wasn't exactly sure where to go to with this but I'm hoping that you may be able to help me.
I'm 22, recent university graduate with a B.A. Hons. in History with a Minor in Geography and Earth Sciences. I'm in pretty good physical shape. Been a lifeguard for a long time so it was always required that I stay in good shape. I work two jobs one of which is full time and I'm looking into joining the CF. I've done my homework and research and I figure that part-time direct entry officer is the way to go. I'm not sure which job is for me. Most recruiters just say Infantry Officer but I seriously don't think that that particular route is for me.
I'm from Hamilton, Ontario and I don't really have a preference over army or navy. I looked into all the reserve units here and the jobs that they were offering and they all seem pretty exciting.
My big question is: since I work all year round will I be able to train at home without having to train away from home for significant periods of time? Would I just be able to train a few nights a week and on the weekends instead of going away somewhere? Is there any way I work around what is needed of me where I can still do my proper training yet have it fit into a better schedule?
I don't want to apply and then quit right away because I couldn't meet their scheduled times.
Thank you for your time.
