To Canada Armed Forces Members, merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Your service is and will always be highly appreciated. There are many countries who do not enjoy peace. I came from such a country, South Sudan. I have been to 2(two) Africwn countires as a refugee before finally finding my home, Canada. I know what it means to yearn for peace and what it means to keep that peace. Canada is great because you are exceptional. Merry Christmas from Moncton, NB.
I remember a Canadian military TH-camd it was this little brown girl going through basic training. If I remember correctly she was trying to be a combat engineer. Her videos were really helpful and her name started with a k. Recently I haven’t been able to find any of her videos
Yup! Without doubt our military is apparently _small_, it probably has a lot to do with _geo-politics_, for instance if our neighbors were such BIG assholes, you can easily see a bigger military. But they say that the prove is in the pudding, you just have to look back in living memory, in times of need the numbers will always swell. ⚔💂💂💂💂💂💂💂💂💂💂⚔
Well why not? Canada has always been more peace loving and humanitarian than war loving. Yes they train you for war obviously, but at the same time they send you to the suffering parts of the world to help. I am not in the Canadian army but I am Canadian and I know Canada's history and culture.
+Jpantelo Jpantelo That is nonsense. Canada is a war fighting nation. The reason Canadian soldiers make good peacekeepers is because they are trained to be good warfighters.
+CF80TO01 American soldiers are trained to be warfighters yet they always cause colateral damage. Have you ever heard of a Canadian jet plane dropping bombs on civilian areas just to knock out a few jihadists?
Not going to lie, the closing statement in the video sent chills down my spine. I can not wait to enlist in the reserves, and then after university transfer over to reg force for a few years.
Speaking from experience as a veteran - document all of your training, exs, ops, injuries, everything and prepare for a lengthy battle with vac following your release or retirement.
What the video doesn't tell you is that the process to actually join takes a very very.......very long time. My medical file has been sitting in Ottawa for 4 months now just waiting to be reviewed. A single 1 page file. Still cant wait to go
Hi there. I was a recruiter for a while. 4 months is not a very, very...very long time. Remember, they're not taking people one at a time, they're taking clumps of people, enough to fill a course. So naturally, the process takes some time. Conversely, and unfortunately, there's no need to hurry because they can't hurry. The amount of paperwork per person and it's processing is considerable.
Im currently in army cadets at the moment but soon i plan on signing up for the reserves so i can earn more school credits so i can pass with better grades. Not to mention i can get a steady surefire occupation
I was ready to volunteer and put my life on the line for my country right after highschool but I guess they don't want me 🤷🏾♂️ Canada I guess I'm coming over if the trans Military ban doesn't get changed before I graduate
i'm mad at the Canadian army, i joined 3 weeks ago but apparently i'm too old and not phyically able to do it, i say that will not stop me from applying, not for the money but i just love Canada and want to do my part, i'll pay you to join
Can anyone answer me, why just young cadets/cadettes are showing up in the video? Where's the veteran or old folks who serve in the forces? are they in deployment? if yes, can anyone take a documentary how are they right now? I want to hear their voices in service. Thank you!
My whole family is military. Being a soldier in Canada is a joke level of difficulty, and there's even less honour, mostly they work strictly for the paycheck.
+WEBZYY Just graduated BMQ. the swimming part is not a big deal. Its either pass or fail and will not affect your time at Saint Jean. Now depending on your trade, you may have to re take it if you fail after.
+Galasa Yeshitla this helped a lot Thanks! how do I become an officer? more schooling or would I need prior experience like Cadets or such? thanks for everything
You have to be prepared to die for Canada, but that is certainly not your role. Your role is to defend the nation and Her Majesty, and make the other fucker die for his country.
I'm going to school to be a diesel and heavy equipment technician this coming Fall but I also have always wanted to serve my country. Does the military have any good positions for what I'm learning or should I not join because I know I can make good money as a civilian.
Patrick Irons- vehicle tech here. Yeah you can make more money in the civilian side being a mechanic. The army is always taking in vehicle techs. Listen I’m just gonna say that in no way in hell would I be a civilian mechanic. I make a bit less but my days are pretty awesome. Army life isn’t for everyone, yeah when it sucks, it sucks! When it’s good it’s an amazing time man.
I’m currently an army cadet and plan on joining as soon as possible. What is the youngest age and what education do you need to join? I believe you have to have your grade ten but youngest age would be what?
16 and in high school to join the reserves, 17 and with parental consent to join the regular force - finish high school though, join the reserves as soon as you can
I am trying to go in as an Infantry Soldier. In the 2019 update, what mark do I need to get on the CFAT Aptitude test to become an infantry Soldier like out of 60? My goal is to take it in early November.
@@alecingersoll4589 oh actually I'm trying to take mine ealier November also!!! What mark do we have to get on the test cfat for infranty? I heard it was 18 out of 60?
As a natural born Canadian citizen, I want to thank you for considering to join our military now that you've immigrated. It proves to me that you love and respect this beautiful country, and it helps me accept you as a fellow Canadian. Welcome home, and I wish you the best. Do our country proud.
Not sure about know, but when I joined the Cf from the British Army they didn’t let me carry stuff over, although as I had released about 6 months prior they didn’t make me go through boot camp and started me at Cpl rank. (Infantry to infantry). It was around 12-15 years of service before someone somewhere? decided to recognize my British Army qualifications.
You need your grade ten but they would prefer better education, I'm currently waiting to finish my application process. (Not fun and does not go by quick) and I have my grade 12.
You can apply for any NCM position with just grade 10 completed, I applied with a high school diploma and I just wrote my CFAT, I was told by the recruiter I achieved a competitive score, I got my my medical and interview in 6 days. I’m super hyped, I’d say if you know for a fact that a career in the military is for you go for it brother!
i finished school in 2011 that did not give any grades. so i went to school 3 times and GED but I can't do mathematics dam. I'm 21 going on 22 so I might as we'll gust find a job
Im a commonwealth citizen but for me I would have to have lived in Canada applying for citizenship and lived for five years in Canada to join.Currently signed up for our Defence Force hopefully I pass everything in the entrance exam and can go off for training to become a marine. afterwards taking up as many courses I could. maybe after my service I could go to Canada to see what our Northern Cousins are like oh well things takes time and effort
@@phil5090 yes doing it right now! Applying on the Candian Armed forces Online Employment Application!!! So yeah! Can't wait!!!! Infrantry here I come! Thx my man💪🇨🇦🤘
Depends on your trade. Basically you can get a three to five year initial contract. Though there is no minimum, if you try it and find out it’s not for you, you can release.
Anthony Thibault- enlist in a combat arms trade and when you get qualified in said trade put in a notice of intent (NOI) to go JTF2. Though your best bet is to just show up in basic and just tell everyone you’re trying to be JTF2 see how that goes over for ya.
No JTF2 soldier is gonna go ahead and say “HEY YA THERE! WHATDYA LIKE TO KNOW EH? 😃” Join the CAF, any trade you’d like, when you’re qualified and are able to, you can apply for a shot at joining. Again, a shot at joining. A Tier 1 unit isn’t a walk in the park so you have to want it badly. Really badly.
it can be an enriching 4 years, help you make your mind up for the future, and if you save properly, get a nice amount of money in the bank by the time youre done.
+s swordman I know I wasn't sure if you did haha but now i do, that's awesome I encourage you to push through the hard times it's really worth it. Go Army, go Canada
@@danielpeters1339 Its not the janitor work that screws up your joints and back you little twit. It's the pepper potting, rucking, running, bayonetta ranges, obstacle courses, sleeping on the ground in a sleeping bag for years on end.. and for those who are inclined.. jumping static line in all four seasons.
What about all the benefits? Do you get free dental for driving a truck? No. Do you get the Honor to call yourself a soldier? No you say you’re a trucker lol. There’s also more like food allowances, they help with financial support for your family, not to mention not paying tax while deployed, so that’s just straight up pay while your pay is taxed. And you just drive a truck. Congrats there bud.

Junsper Fernando they only interview the new men/women because they still love their job and are enthusiastic.

You might want to check in at recruiting as soon as you can as the recruiting part of the system is a long process.

Keep an open mind. There are so many different jobs in the forces that you wouldn't think of. There is one that is perfect for you.
Go to the website and do some research on jobs that interest you. Then you apply.
