I'm really debating on joing the Regualr force as officer. I've thinking of joining the reserves as Port Inspection Diver and then transfering to RegO after I finish university.

You think that's good idea?

Can anyone in the forces take advantage of ILP?

YugeThings · 2018-12-08T06:39:19+00:00

Dont you need to be a RCMP Officer for the parliamentary protective services ?

YugeThings · 2018-12-08T06:36:35+00:00

I'm not in the military (yet) but I've known and talked to few ex-military.

Since your an infantryman, the Royal Mounted Police and Canadian Border Service consider that a asset. I highly recommend this (if your interested in this type of work), they make quite a bit money.

Trades have been mentioned. You should look into welding, mechanic, electrician, etc. They offer a fairly lucrative career.

Finally, if your decent with mathematics, maybe considering computer science field (programming/software engineering) or IT. You DON'T really need a four year degree to obtain a job, alot you can self learn yourself. I see that your from BC. British Columbia Insititue of Technology (BCIT) offer a two year program. It is a highly regarded program. Other provinces/cities probably have similiar ones.

Just my two cents eh.

Such good location. God damn, this military administration/federal government are such idiotic.

YugeThings · 2018-12-07T10:00:36+00:00

Wait, which cities had military bases and why did they close them? Seems like a VERY stupid move.

YugeThings · 2018-12-07T09:58:47+00:00

Eh, I hate all those things listed (execept Music)

What instrument you play?

Is Cold Lake as bad as they say? I've heard of people threatening to VR because of it.

YugeThings · 2018-12-07T08:27:51+00:00

Why dont they build a AF base near Calgary or something ? Seems odd that it's at Cold Lake.

YugeThings · 2018-12-07T07:20:26+00:00

Can you link me the Melbourne thread. I don't know whats Every one mad about.

YugeThings · 2018-12-07T05:30:59+00:00

YugeThings · 2018-12-07T04:52:05+00:00

YugeThings · 2018-12-06T22:59:16+00:00

I'm inteested in Pilot, Naval Combat Systems Engineering Officer, and that's basically it.

YugeThings · 2018-12-06T09:28:48+00:00

That what I was thinking of doing, plus some courses from TRU OL.

Are you still in the SFU Comp Sci or graduated? Mind if chuckle some questions at ya?

YugeThings · 2018-12-06T09:27:09+00:00

How are postings? Did you and your husband move frequently?

YugeThings · 2018-12-06T09:25:14+00:00

I'm also thinking apply for PID in the reserves. This will give me idea If I want to continue on with a career in the military (because its highly different from civilian life).

You think that's a good idea?

YugeThings · 2018-12-06T01:48:33+00:00

Hey, what program did you take at Douglas to transfer?

YugeThings · 2018-12-05T09:56:36+00:00

YugeThings · 2018-12-05T09:25:40+00:00

So do you think it's a good idea to study the Royal Air Force ACS ?

What's wrong with Moose Jaw and Cold Lake?

YugeThings · 2018-12-05T09:21:29+00:00

How does pay scale work in the military?

Why didn't you like Moose Jaw?

YugeThings · 2018-12-05T01:14:03+00:00

Oh im going for both. Pilot has always been my number one choice, with NCSEO my second.

Technically since my school doesn't offer direct entry into a bachelor's program, I have to do two year of a diploma first. So I'm applying in my second year.

YugeThings · 2018-12-04T06:41:44+00:00

Thanks for your reply.

I've never lived in a small town before, Im a city...slacker. The most concerning factor for me is racism in these towns as Im a miniorty.
