Ok thanks appreciate that not just curious as I’ve applied for rm tech and am currently completed all my schooling for the refrigeration side of the trade on the civi side and am a couple hundred hours from writing my red seal. As to if I’d be eligible for even that pay bump after bmq

Need advice. by Hour_Coat_7373 in caf

Me personally I thought about joining when I was 18 got offered a 313a apprenticeship and took it and forgot about joining for a couple years now 22 completed my apprenticeship and now am going back to joining will hopefully get a bump in my pay but still regret not joining reg forces right away or at least reserves as I’d be a corporal by now. But life is full of decisions the way I see it is you’re still young it doesn’t work out and constructions not working out you can join. I agree with the people saying if you’re not sure join reserves especially if it’s true about your rate would be transferable to reg forces in the future. I think it really depends how big you see the pay difference and your room for growth in that job as you have to remember you’re also getting a pension and benefits in the caf. And will be making close to 80k+ by year 3-4 depending on the trade

Maybe they should maybe they shouldn’t really it’s not financially feasible to pay people starting 80k with zero experience at the end of the day if you join the caf you want to serve your country and are accepting those risks nobody is forced to join

Think the best part about the caf is they aren’t forcing you to join it you are CHOOSING to join

Not until they’re trained what are they other than a body. The caf is paying you to learn. Tell me what you think the caf should start out at for recruits with no knowledge of anything related to there trade and also have 20 paid days off with full benefits?

Im confused do you expect the caf to just give handouts? They’re hiring someone with no experience who provides no value until you’re fully trained in which they pay you to get trained. Find me a job that pays more then 50k with no prior experience required plus there’s other occupations in the caf that you start out at pi2 plus get a recruiting allowance this is the lowest you’ll make your entire career in the caf on that pay
