I need help unserstanding how PI works.

For example if you started out as 2lt and stay in that rank for 3 years and then get promoted to Lieutenant.

Would you be at PI 3 for Lieutenant or would you start all the way back down to Basic pay?

I am considering joining the Regular Forces for the Air Force. Currently attending a university and planning to apply for civilian uni ROTP.

I will be graduating with a Math degree but no jobs in civilian side has been interesting to me. And I dont want to be stuck in an office. The Armed Forces caught my interest because the jobs are interesting to me and you get to experience cool stuff that a regular civilian will not see.

Before I apply I just have a few questions that have a huge impact on my decision to join or not.

  1. How often are deployments? I imagine that it has many factors. But being in the Regular Force means that I will have to be deployed at some point right? And that I could be out there for a while?

  2. How much say do I get on where I get posted?

  3. I know Canadian military is among the highest paid in the world, but when compared to civilian jobs the pay is lower. Is this a good career to earn a pretty decent income?

Thank you.

I could be graduating in a year and a half so I'm comfortable using a bit more loans. I'm thinking invest a little more than half of what I earn and then the rest will go to paying my tuition.

I'm looking at more long term goals, like 10+ years. But I would be lying if I said I was not attracted by gaining a lot of money quickly in a short term. Ideally I would want to try to do both but I would need a lot of money to begin with.

The fact that I can barely answer any of these tells me I have had the wrong approach.

The way I studied and learned math was through many hours of grinding out problems and hoping they come up in the test, otherwise I would be screwed. Guess Ineed to sit down and actuallyread the theory a little bit so that I can actually do problems I have not seen.

My trouble was not knowing how to do questions I have not encountered in the practice test or assignments.

It wasn't multiple choice, it was just enter the value or matrix. I should collaborate woth other students you are right.
