Hi!
I'm a 4th year Uni student in Edmonton, I'm graduating with a (pretty useless) B.A this December, but until then I'm looking for a job to pay the bills and hopefully to save up money for tuition this summer. I'm very interested in joining the CAF for various reasons, but I don't know if joining as a PT reserve or FT regular would be a better option for me based on my circumstances. I have several questions and I'd be very grateful if someone can answer them!
1) What are the future commitments as a reserve or regular? There's a likelihood that I may live in a foreign country in the future due to my fiancee being a Brazilian national. Will I be called back to Canada to serve in times of war?
2) What are the hours like for a reserve vs. a regular?
3) What are the advancement opportunity for someone with a B.A in the reserve vs. a regular?
4) Would it be possible for me to serve as a reserve/regular from May to late July in the summer? As I have to leave the country in early August and go back to school part time in September.
5) And finally, not to be stingy but as a student with no families here to help pay the bills and tuition, money is pretty important. What are the starting wages like for a reserve vs. regular?
Thank you so much for your help.
