decisions about joining

[Palesaint]

Well i'm 22 years old with my highschool and some electrical schooling, I've played a ton of paintball and I have a restricted firearms. Considering myself a good shot with my ar10a4 but I have no interest in any infantry/riflemen stuff. I seem to have an enjoyment for driving heavy machinery and RTS games and being loaded up on coffee all night. Pretty sure I meet the minimums and am not a nut job, just wanna know what part time gig is good for me.

"Part time gig" means you are looking at joining the Reserves.

What trades might be available depend on what units are in your area. 

 

[Palesaint]

In BC but no one has givin me a clear idea of whats available, I'm not against the reg force idea yet either.

That's a list of ARMY reserve units in Canada, you can find any Naval or Air Force reserve units through their respective websites:

Naval Reserve: http://www.navy.forces.gc.ca/navres/home/navres_welcome_e.asp

Yes there is, but his profile states New Westminster which is on the mainland and is actually a part of Greater Vancouver.

I've been looking at the reserve units and calling a few and from what i'm told they only do basic and 2 weeks sq, money and time are not an issue for me just wondering if I can do the 30 weeks instead. If not I'll apply and try for reg infantry, thanks guys.

You still have to do all your trades training and whatnot, it's not "just" BMQ/SQ.
