Hello world
I am a dual CAN/USA citizen going into G12 in and am looking into a possible career in the CF. My questions are these:
1. In the USA, women can't have positions in armour, infantry, or artillery if they are in the direct line of fire (yeah, boo to those sexist yanks). Well, I like action. Is the CF the same way in disallowing women from being in infantry or armour?
2. I formerly was listed as asthmatic. This was cleared 1 1/2 years ago and I have not been prescribed anything for asthma related conditions since. I've read posts here that seem to say that you're alright if you've been cleared for at least a year, but I'm just trying to confirm all this before plopping down in the recruiting office in Victoria.
3. I am fluent in English and Spanish but have almost no knowledge in French. Is learning French a prereq. for joining CF or can they teach you?
4. Lastly, I want to know if there is a way to receive subsidized education without attending the Royal Military Colleges because they don't have any majors I would particularly enjoy pursuing for four straight years.
