Hello Everyone!
Some of you might remember me from my first topic « waiting, waiting your personal experience »
Unfortunately I have to tell you that we are still waiting by the phone… and thanks again for your support.
But I also have to let you know that after all those months of searching, reading army.ca, watching war movies, talking to recruiters, watching basic up over and over again…
I am considering joining the CF as well. I guess I would not be the first one to do that.
Anyway to make a long story short, I spent so much time and energy thinking about the CF that I feel like it is part of my life now and I would not see myself doing anything else, I would be missing something.
I think that it is a very important decision and I am left with one question that is probably the most important one, and the recruiting center answered it in a very official way, but I would like some examples from you. Here it is:
I am not sure that I understand the meaning of accepting a job offer.
When you decide to join the CF what ever your occupation is logistic, musician, cook, do you need to be ready to do anything?
The CFRC stated the “universality of service” and they mentioned that as a soldier you have to expect and be ready for everything.
I would like some examples if you have any.
I think I would go for either Logistic officer or Transmission officer, I am finishing my studies specializing in pure and applied maths with as well courses in finance, accountancy, economics, psychology, and education. I know I am not specially qualified for any of these occupations but I have nothing to lose and I know that the CF will teach me what I need to know.
That said, I know being in the CF could be dangerous for anyone,
It is about National Defence after all…
But being a Log Officer could I be asked, if needed, to train for infantry and be deployed as infantry if needed?
I am asking that because I think I can do a great job in a supporting trade and I mean it.
But I don’t think that I am mentally ready for direct combat, are you? Can you be?
Do you know it without a doubt if you are mentally ready for combat?
Do you have doubts sometimes? Am I normal? Or just not the right type for the CF?
That was many questions, but mainly I would like to know if when you accept a job offer you accept any possible job at the same time including combat. And please give me some real life examples. Could I be deployed as infantry if needed?
Thank you very much for taking the time to read me and please help me I am confused, it is such an important decision.
