Folks,
After reading so many messages on this excellent board from so many former reservists and regular force soldiers I thought this might be a timely question to ask. There is a lot of collective military experience on this site from retired CF members - god knows how many total years if you added it all up. We have had countless threads about the hard reality of military life: ranging from the impact of tours on family, daunting training requirements/commitments for reservists, frustrated career ambitions, maddening bureaucracy, indifferent leadership, etc.
In so many ways this site showcases the CF - yet it can also be read as the mirror opposite: a conduit of cynicism/skepticism about the CF as a career choice. As several profiles testify, a lot of people here have served for a few years in the reserves or regs and left the service.
So I thought I would pose the question: Why did you quit?
cheers, mdh
