Lately I have been wondering if I should transfer to the regs (if I did it would probably be Med Tech, or maybe Armour). But with our state of funding for the forces, and the general lack of respect we get from the Government and a large percentage of the population, I think to myself "why bother?". Which leads me to wanting to join the US Military. Problem was I did not have anyway of getting a green card (No special skills, American parents etc.). But as US immigration has totally revamped thier site, I learned that while naturally born Canadians can not participate in the greencard lottery, unless they have a parent who was born in a country that is allowed to participate in the lottery (such as Ireland, were my mother was born.) Now that I have found my loophole I am not sure what to do. Should I A. transfer to the regs, to serve queen and country. B. Apply to the lottery, and if I got a Green Card, apply to the USMC. or C. remain in the Mo and continue with my civy persutes (which is to become a police officer with Toronto Police.). Currently I already applied to the police and I am waiting for the interviews. I have also put my name in for Op Athena Roto 3 and I am waiting to here about that. If I get the tour, I will tell the police I will reapply next year. If I get the police and no tour then I will go for it. If I get neither well, thats were I get stuck on what should I do. I already know what my family and friends are going to tell me (same thing they have been telling me since I told them I put my name in for the tour "are you nuts!").
Any thoughts/suggestions would be appriciated, specifically with regards to the USMC.
Cheers
