Hello all.
I have just recently decided that I will try and join the forces this time next year when I finish school. I was wondering if some of you could answer a few questions that I had. I have posted some questions on other disscussion boards and have recieved limited answers.
Here we go:
1. How easy is it to get into the field eng. position. I think that I have the education with a Mech Eng. Technologist diploma and receiving another in Metallurgy this time next year. Is there a waiting period to get into any position within the forces?
2. How "in shape" do you have to be? I‘m no iron man but I think that I can hold my own. Very good strenght but not too good with the running (10 min mile). As for sit -ups I think they ask for 15 /min is that with someone holding your feet?
3. I once saw a feature on the Canadian combat divers (Dolphins??) which are similar to the Navy seals. If I do get into a field eng. position is there any chance to do diving or will I have to go for the above team.
4. Can anyone give me a personal run through of what is entailed in the position. I have read the description on the website but I would like to get a first hand description.
5. Does anyone know of a website that describes the BT that is done in the CAF? I have ready many about the USA army, is there BT similar to Canada‘s?
This is all I have right now. I would like to thank all in advance.
