Hey all! My name is Jerry, and I've been lurking in this forum for a while now... Finally came out of the shadows!
I'm currently a 10th grader in Toronto ON, and am contemplating a part-time career in the CF Reserves during university. I do have intentions of entering the Regular Force one day, but I want to 'test the waters' first to see if the CF is really for me. So I have a few questions, and could not find any specific answers with the search function. I'm sorry if these questions have already be asked; in that case, please direct me elsewhere.
Firstly, I am thinking of applying to both the University of Toronto and McGill University. I am aware of the 48th Highlanders Reserve Force in downtown Toronto near UofT, but am a bit concerned about possible Reserve Forces in Montreal. If I got into McGill, would I still have a chance to get into a Reserve Force and Officer Training Plan there if I didn't speak fluent French?
Secondly, if CF members are trained to obey their superiors at all costs, is there some form of support if a CF member feels personally threatened? For example, I understand that some CF missions will be life threatening. Nonetheless, what happens if a superior orders you to do something that is not related to the CF, which may put your life in danger?
Thirdly, are reserve forces constantly in hiring?
Those are all my questions so far; the rest have been answered in detail by the peeps in this forum. Many thanks in advance for your time, awesome people at army.ca.
*Yikes, I think this topic might be in the wrong forum. ): I'm very sorry for any inconvenience.
