Morgan, You should never join the Forces for reasons other people gave to you that you adopted. Find your own reasons, make sure they represent who you are and that there is motivation behind them. As for Rugby... Rugby is another matter. Congratulations on joining the greatest game on Earth. ...

Owa, Career availability in the CF can change fairly quickly. Just a couple weeks ago they had Infantry Soldier positions available. I haven't checked since, but call your CFRC to see if your preferred career is available. Good to see your journal, I can see the similarities between our...

Murch, Spoke with a Recruiter yesterday and they tell me there are positions open for Infantry Officer and, I believe, Engineering Officer. 2 weeks ago both were full, so definitely check back every 2 weeks, or when you are speaking to anyone at the CFRC. When I first applied, all DEO careers...

Cory, 27 is not too old to join by a longshot. In the Forces, you are limited primarily only by your physical and mental capabilities, and of course by the requirement that you be 17 years of age, or older. I have read about people that are 40, 49, and 50 that have passed the CF Express test...

Murch, I to am looking at Officer positions for Infantry and Armoured roles. What I hear from the recruiters is that, until recently, Infantry Officer was "oversubscribed", but I have heard recently that Infantry Officer opened again. From first hearing about the positions closed to them being...

Hello folks, Some time back while reading through the application samples in the 'The Recruiting Process' forum, I thought of something that may be of interest / value to the Milnet community. The idea is thus: physical fitness samples. Background: Many people aiming to join the Forces...

Evan, the Forces offer amazing challenges and opportunities, including travel. As one Canadian to another, I encourage you to try traveling even if you dislike it. You never know what sort of experience you may have, but try it at least once so you can experience it and know for sure whether or...

The Forces don't use the term "Infantry" for just NCM Soldiers. The website illustrates this with the title of various careers: Infantry Soldier Infantry Officer Armoured Soldier Armoured Officer Artillery Soldier Artillery Officer

Cheers Polski! That's good news. I've called a recruiting center and have requested to switch my designated career choice over to DE Infantry Officer and hope it isn't closed yet. ;)

Hey Polski, if you hear anything could you let me know, and I'll do the same? I'm aiming for Infantry Officer. How about you?

Positions become available throughout the year. The Forces recruit on an as-needed basis. As an example of this, your Platoon in BMQ will include people from a wide range of NCM Careers, as everyone in NCM roles go through BMQ. Since the Forces recruit throughout the year, when positions come...

One of the easiest specializations to understand is that of the Sniper. The role Snipers play is very different from that of a Soldier, that much should be clear, and if you have the right characteristics as an individual and a soldier, you may be right for Sniper school. As for additional pay...

Numbers as in numbers of available positions? If so there still may be hope.

My CFRC and the Forces Chat team confirmed that there are a few positions available when I applied a week or two ago. Based on applications since then they may have closed the position, however.

That's encouraging. I chatted with an online recruiter who advised that the primary careers I'm looking at, Infantry & Armoured Officer, are both still oversubscribed. Guess I will check back later this week.

Awesome idea, and one I have been thinking about. Can you suggest training that would help? Currently I'm doing a "Boot Camp" fitness class that is going to be wiping me out 2 times a week and am looking for a running club to work up the Cardio as well. Beyond this, what came to mind was First...

I believe you are right about your first point.  My concern may be unfounded - is there any difference and / or advantage to having an application in prior to the April 1st announcements versus applying once available? The second question is about availability - can anyone speak as to how often...

Hello, I have recently applied to the Forces at a time when just one of my pool of desired Officer and NCM careers is open - Infantry Soldier. That said, in speaking to the recruiters as we completed my application the issue of Officer careers came up and it has raised a question or two about...
