HI I'm 13 years of age so I know that I'm probably to young to even be discussing this but I want to join the reserves to be an armoured soldier once I hit 16 years of age. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on like what to say to a recruiter and also I understand if you still think I'm too young to even think about this. I'm currently a cadet so I know how to like maintain uniforms and I also speak English, French and Tamil. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Need advice, considering a career in the Canadian forces
- Thread starter war2001v
- Start date
Also sorry, I forgot to include this but my plan was once I reached 18 years, I was planning on transferring from the reserves to the regular forces. How long would this process take and would I need my parents permission if I was 18? I got confused as it said 17 or up with parental permission. Thanks once again.

Say that you want to join. Write down any questions you can think of. The formal Interview is not until Step 5 ( after CFAT and Medical ) of the application process:
Step five: Interview:
http://www.forces.ca/en/page/applynow-100
It discusses how to prepare. Also, "Put some thought into what you will wear and how you want to present yourself. Give yourself time to arrive 10 to 15 minutes early so you can relax before the interview."

The best advice possible at this time is to read the threads whose links mariomike provided, explore the Site and further increase your knowledge, do well in school, and work on your fitness.
You have time to do all of that.

You are welcome, and no apology is required.
And I thank you for following the advice given, as well as mariomike for providing the bulk of it.
I, and I suspect many others here, would that everyone of your age (and many much older and theoretically wiser) who enters this site with similar goals conduct themselves in the manner that you did.
Qapla!!!
