I really would love to join the Canadian Armed Forces, but sadly I got health problems and it prevents me from joining, or being qualified. All I can do now is just support and be proud of our military for serving the country and defending her interests.
As a Canadian, I am very proud of these people. To my fellow Canadians, please vote. Voting is an act of national defence. In the end, what matters the most is that you Vote, and, cast a Vote for Canada. To the Armed Forces: thank you. Literally, you gals & guys are an inspiration! Thanks, John of Canada
Matsimus Gaming Hi, it seems to be Harper. John of Canada PS. I've openly stated that one of the big regrets in my life is that I did not serve as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces when I was young. That said, as civilians, we can all support our Armed Forces, and we should do this, as good Canadians. I've got two ideas, here, for everyone: 1. Learn about the history of our Armed Forces. War of 1812, World War I, World War II, Korea, Afghanistan. RU-vid is a great source of educational videos. 2. Have the courage to write to your MP, and, to our Prime Minister. When you do this, write at your best. Check your grammar, check your spelling, and, above all things: Write from the heart, as a Canadian.
Well put sir. I agree. I am wanting to vote. But this will be my first federal election vote and as a new proud Canadian (Moved from the UK) and about to join the Canadian Armed Forces reserve, I want to be supporting the right team.
Matsimus Gaming Thank you. A little bit about myself: I was born in Canada, in Vancouver, in 1972. I moved to Toronto in 1987, and I still live here. A few years ago, I fell in love with a lady from Montreal, and, I wanted to move there. That said, above all things, I keep a Love of Canada in my heart. Istari, John of Canada PS. Sir Matsimus, it is very interesting to me that you mention that you are from the UK. My father is English, and, my Mom is Portuguese. I have good family in England. I have a love of the culture of the UK, from the pub, to Tolkien, to Crowley, to Churchill, to Iron Maiden, to Led Zeppelin, and, then, there and back again, to the pub, when I am an old man. I love writing and music, and I do believe that England and the UK is a great nation, in both of these things. Contexually, considering your words, I feel that it is relevant to learn about *Churchill*. Again, I must emphasize the great tradition of the UK: writing and music, among other things. As a Canadian, I am very proud and lucky to have the culture of the UK as part of our heritage. Matsimus, I live in Toronto, and, if you get here, I would love to have a pint with you, at my local pub, The Queen's Head,@401 and Victoria Park. Thanks again for your writing. I have a sense, by your words, that you are bit young, and, honestly, straight up, I am a bit jealous. I wish was young again. You've expressed interest in service to the Canadian Armed Forces. In Wisdom, I say: "Follow your Heart."
I'm proud to say as a Canadian that I plan on joining the army in my early 20's when I finish school :) and looking forward to learning new skills and making new friends.
I may be South African and I may not be Canadian but I swear on my life and I will serve the Canadian Armed Forces I may be a foreigner but I will find a way to get in the Canadian Armed Forces and I will serve the lovely beautiful land of Canada! Love from South Africa 🇿🇦🤝🇨🇦
Hurry up a process my paperwork :( I want to be a reserve so badly!! I just have my medical left to do and I've been waiting to hear back for a while. Everything done apart from that! :( I hate having to wait to do the one thing in life I want to be lol
Matsimus Gaming yea, I'm currently undergoing the application process. I've been waiting for my medical papers to be signed for about 3-4 months now, I was told I should be getting a phone call soon., I think to be sworn in
@@lauraduarte2179 I actually have my enrolment ceremony for the reserves this Friday! It took forever due to covid though. I applied all the way back in September.
@@lauraduarte2179 been in for 2 years now, my paperwork was extremely quick although I have heard horror stories, just keep ringing whoever is in charge of your file and I'm sure they'll get back
I truly wish to join the CF after earning my Canadian Citizenship. I just hope the security screening procedure won't take too long (people say it will probably take up to 2 years in my case)
I support you guys I mean my girlfriend lives in Canada, you keep all my friends safe I may live in western America far away from Canada but still you are brave people and I support you!
Right now I am 13 years old I enlisted into the army cadets this year I dint think there is anything better then being a infantry soilder in the army it is my goal and my dream
@@k.790 Not yet, currently in University studying Engineering. Afterwards, maybe some type of officer still not sure. P.S. Can't believe I still use the same account.
I always love watching these videos they just inspire me more and more I am going to be an infantry soldier hopefully. I am currently an army Cadet and I can't wait to be 18 so I can live my dream
Hi, there is one thing that itches my mind since a while now... I am soon planning on joining the Canadian Army and watched pretty much all the "life in the CAF" videos you have. You often mention how easy it is to maintain a relationship and to have children while serving, but what if my loved one is already a member of the Canadian Forces? I know how frequently one person in the couple gets to move around the country, and I just can't imagine the trouble it could be if both members are away not at the same time! Is it possible to schedule, with the administration, the dates me and my partner get our days off, or to move to the same bases at the same time? Anything to help two soldiers, from different branches, seeing each other more than once a year! Thank you very much for your time!
+Canadian Armed Forces Also, I wanted to know, what do you consider being "a couple"? By that I mean, if you have any requirements for us to be considered as life partners, or soul mates in order to be transfered together on the same bases. Because I am myself still pretty young, and the relationship I have with my partner is very recent compared to an usual relation like most adults have. I would like to have your opinion on what you consider to be a solid relationship. (for example : mariage, or simply X years together) PS : Do not mistake our relationship for a simple teenager's date, even though it might sound like it judged by our age and experience so far.
@@CanadianForcescanadiennes if l joined army in the CAF, Is there parachute course l can choose from? Or is there something that relate to the parachute course?
@@jujulaf18 I served in the forces for 34 years , with 25 of those years married to a wife who also served at the same time, Military marriages are perhaps the toughest in the world to maintain, you'll have have to put in as much effort into you marriage and towards your children as you place towards your career, there needs to be a balance at all times. I know that sounds like something a councilor would say, but it is the truth. It takes a special women or man with a great deal of understanding, and a great capacity to take on both roles mother /father when your gone , or deployed around the world. Military life is very tough on marriages and not all of them last the test of time. But there is a lot of tough women out there that make it all happen. Behind every great soldier is a greater wife or husband... remember balance is key, treat them like gold everyday or you risk losing them...
Learn French before you join. The 6-8% of the military that are French are the ones who get promoted regardless of their Skills or Leadership ability! Just a tip, language training is hard to get for Anglos; although, Francos get a full year as soon as they join.
***** Yes we know, thank you. Language surpasses leadership or any other skill on senior leaders board points system by 5 points or more per board member. So sub-par leaders may rocket to the top with minimal leadership, ethics or values as long as the top members they are competing with are Anglophones. That is why 86% of Senior Appointed CWO/CPOs are Francos. So anyone thinking on joining should do their language training first or pay for it themselves because NCM Anglos do not receive the training only Francos do. A double standard perhaps but a fact all the same.
+Mad Flavor Disciple this is interesting. Makes me worry being British trying to get into the Canadian reserves how my promotions will fair with that being said.
Matsimus Gaming It wil have an impact for sure, not until the Sgt, WO/ Capt, Maj levels though. That is probably as high as you would want to go. Beyond that level most people talk the talk but do not walk the walk.
Completed CFAT, graduated University, now just waiting for the medical and interview appointment. I switched trades due to demand but I'm still super eager and excited!!!!
Now in month 8 of waiting to get in, all of my papers have been back for a month and a half but I'm still waiting for my past employment to be verified. This is taking forever and it's killing me.
What is a MED ret, can you also tell me the process you went through to get that position, because I want to become a medical officer but I don't really get what the process is. I'm still 2 years away from graduating highschool but I feel like information from someone whos already experienced it will benefit me better.
i will be applying to the forces very soon,just have to brush up on my math skills and im sending in an application,im 32 years old and hope i can pass the pt.wish me luck im going to need it.
Question: Why are immigrants and enviromentally displaced Canadians provided with your attention & services, while I have been left bench sitting(seating) under Canadas Poverty Line and on Canadian Last Resort Financial assistance, in both Quebec & New Brunswick. Greater than 6 (six) years?
The army is one of the three branches in the military. I believe there are three. I don't think there is a marine corps in the Canadian Forces or at least not its own branch.
if l wants to join the reserve force, and become a pilot, and ; live in BC Richmond, is there any home unit near by? And what is the paid education? And am l allowed to join anytime? Or is there monthly recruiting?
I have a question: I'm 20 years old Ghanaian-German ( I was born in Germany, but my parents are from Ghana 🇬🇭) . I live in Germany and I have the German citizenship. I'm doing my vocational baccalaureate ( In Germany it's called Fachabitur and it's comparable to a high school diploma) . In NRW ( a federal state of Germany) I have summer holidays and after the summer holidays I will come to the 13th class and it's also the last class in Germany. I want to immigrate to Canada, because I heard that they have problems with searching for skilled workers. And I would like to apply for the Canadian Armed Forces, because I want to make something in my life and I want to make my family proud. So I have some questions: 1) Are there some ETA immigration Systems on each Canadian airport? 2) For example I landed in a Canadian airport and I also did my ETA at the airport. Can I apply for the Canadian health insurance and can I open a Canadian bank account at the airport where I landed? 3) Are there some places where immigrants can stay for a while until they find a apartment? 4) Does Canada recognize German high school diplomas? If not is it possible to do the Canadian high school at a Canadian school? Mesack from NRW ( Northrhine Westfalia a federal state in Germany) 🇩🇪🇬🇭

Yeah I’m only in grade 9, but I’m thinking that might be pretty cool to do. The only bummer is you still gotta go thru like 7/8 years of uni and then residency so like I’ll be prob somewhere from 28-32 before I can actually start :/
@@kierra8161 I'm in grade 10 but even if you do need alot of years of education doesn't the military pay for it in paid education, I think it'll be worth it and you still get to experience being in the army while learning.
To apply to the Forces, you must: 1. Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada. 2. Meet the age requirement. - CAF: Be 17 years old with parental consent or older. - Regular Officer Training Plan: Be 16 years old or older. - Reserve Force: Be 16 years old if enrolled as a full-time high school student. 3.

Our Brave Soldiers, Sailors and Aircrews bring Honor ,skill and Professionalism to their jobs and Ottawa rewards them with budget cuts and hurtful policies, it's disgusting and ALL POLITICAL PARTIES HAVE A HAND IN THIS TRAVESTY 😢
can you join the infantry if you have glasses i really want to join it when im old enough do you get special glasses for it like you have to wear gas masks too so im kinda worried
@@soyboysoldier1838 well you have 2 options you have corrective surgery for ur eyes or you luckily have not too strong of a percription and i think you can get glasses for yhem
A life of honour? Russell Williams Andre Gagnon and Jonathan Vance? Seriously all these high ranking officers charged with sexual misconduct and still the military wants to preach HONOUR FFS
tons of honor in the military doofus, 2 or 3 wrongs by a few people does NOT take honor from the hundreds of thousands of people who died for our country
Our military is a joke ,our troops are first rate. there is no where near enough of them .When i was a member there were 80,000 members with very old shitty equipment . As it stands right now we could not field a division in combat for more then 3 months.
omg 6 months deployment danm thats kinda harsh or tough because naturally a wife cant live without husband after 3 months are there any solutions for that ?
One of the elite? Since when? The Korean war has been over for some time now! Now, the Canadian high command has lowered the standards so low, that very few Canadians want to join up. The Canadian high command has gone so woke, it is just shameful
