byjoekitten13 Gaming And well you should be! I wish I was Canadian, but even though I'm from America part of my ancestry is indeed from Canada. I've been to Montreal numerous times and met Canadian soldiers- best in the world. I love Canada. You have so much in Canada we'll never have down here. Up north is where the people are warmer and where the sense of belonging to people I've had up north compared to here is enormously more vast. I'd be a proud Canadian too! I'm not not NOT proud to be American. I feel nothing but shame
***** America is a good country, but falling apart and crumbling since Vietnam. I'm not ashamed I'm just disillusioned with how much poverty and illness there is in America. And Corruption
+byjoekitten13 Gaming Unless you founded the country you should merely be grateful. It's disrespectful to take responsibility for something you did not do.
I'm Canadian and actually it's hard to level up in the Canadian military my grandpa was in the airforce and my other one to. Long live Canada 🇨🇦 j'aime le Canada
The canadian armies should stop the australian, british, and american armies killing Afghanistan civilians innocently according to recent criminal evidence against the five allied nations sharing military killing experience as part of their training !
@@peterchee4392 lol I must be late to reply and we don’t care about Afghanistan civilians if those armys didn’t go Afghanistan then I dont think they wouldn’t have much combat experience lmao idiot
I'd like to thank all of you guys, from the cook to the infantryman to the general, for proudly serving our great country and doing all you can to protect its citizens...
♡ Kleinr Schmetterling ♡ (Liberty Schulz) 1st : Yes 2nd : How can you support capitalism knowing what it stands for? 3rd : You need a serious economy lesson on capitalism and its ideology if you do support it I don't see why I should be ashamed of believing in something, even if it caused death during history; Some British, for example, are proud of being a monarchy, even though their monarchy (I'm talking about the office; Not the family) caused something like three civil war during the last millennia
WW1: Canada enters with the worst equipped and one of the smallest armies.. becomes the most feared and effective fighting force. Documented by German soldiers. WW2: Canada’s raids in Sicily/Italy were one of the biggest turning points in the war which caused a break in the German/Italy forces allowing the U.S Army to proceed through Italy further into Europe. PLUS our actions in France and Belgium which there are to many to name. None of you people have actually gone into battle against a Canadian, you literally do not know. It’s been documented by German soldiers who fought against them in WW1 and WW2 how deadly and feared the Canadians were, we were literally referred to as “not killable” they literally knew that if the Canadians were called to spearhead an operation the battle was already a loss. You guys were just unstoppable and have a pride nobody else does when in battle.
As an American airman (50+ years ago) I was really impressed and pleased with this presentation of the Canadian Army. I loved the truly Human and Humane approach presented here, and it showed a toughness minus the yelling and screaming. Well done as always, Canada! Love from West Virginia...
I met Canadian soldiers when I was in Montreal and we spent an entire morning into early afternoon together. I could never have imagined it was going to be just as great as it was. I imagined it to be good, but it was just amazing and awespiring! Canadians are very different people from Americans and value real values. Down here it just is not anywhere near as good, but you will find the further North you go the better it is. In America we don't have a professional Army we have a large Army. The only professionals are very rare here and I'm not in the Army although I always wanted to be a soldier. I can't. I have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. That ruined my chances. The Americans are too arrogant except the soldiers. Americans don't do it for me and although the soldiers are great people they can't fight as well as Canadians or British can. Also there's a real aura of something very special around Canadian soldiers I felt really strongly drawn towards them when we were together. It was incredible. If you have the chance to join the Canadian Armed Forces especially now that the Afghanistan nightmare is over do it. I'd recommend serving Canada. I also may eventually end up up North. I would not be surprised.
Thank you Sir for those kind words. The biggest attribute we Canadians have is the heart in our fight, pride for our rich military history , and the loyalty and sacrifice towards of our fellow comrades . There is too much that is personal not to persevere and claim victory .
soul creeper yep since 1954 we became a peace keeping military They send is overseas to try and start a cease fire which doesn’t always happen but that’s what our military does violence isn’t the answer but we are part of NATO which has 28 countries involved and is one of most powerful military sources going right now Plus who wouldn’t be scared of this Other then maybe North Korea who talks about going to war with the USA but can’t seem to follow thru for some reason at least we know we have these guys if we ever need them NATO as of 2017 : Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States. Then our partner country’s NATO partner countries are some of the most powerful military’s Also but funny thing so that North Korea is ranked higher then most nato members as a powerful military It’s almost as though nato invoked fear for no reason into them .

Been there done that ! One of the most proudest moment of my life was to serve along side the men and women of the armed force, that also including the little girl saying hi and shook my hand on the public bus, graduating college, got married and built my own 3d printed drone haha, fun aside I wish I had the energy and health to serve Canada again.
20 years in the Scots Guards and went on training exercises with our Canuck pals. They are as about as educated, intelligent and well trained as a modern army can be and pish all over their southern neighbours in every respect.
I was told by my career counselor in high school that the only choices that I had were joining the military or working the rigs in northern alberta. I sold out and went oil field. Biggest mistake of my life.
I'm planning on joining the army before I even go to college so I can do my country proud, god bless Canada. Oh and FYI we are not using outdated equipment, that's not an M16, it's a C7E.
Pinkpants202 I feel you, I'm still in highschool and I don't want to work a shitty minimum wage job after getting out, I'd rather serve my country and contribute so something important.
I’m in RCACC(Royal Canadian Army Cadets) and am going to enlist as an infantry soldier. I am going to do the best I can do and do even better on top of that. All I have to say is thanks to every strong Canadian Soldier keeping us safe and all our allies doing the same. Looking forward to enlist. I’m proud to be a Canadian, and part of the True North Strong and Free! 🇨🇦
I joined the RCACC the same time you posted this comment, 4 years ago. I’m turning 16 in exactly one month from now and when I do I want to enlist in the reserves as an armoured soldier. When I grad from high school I’m hoping I get accepted into one of Canada’s officer schools (or better yet, the RMAS in England) to become an armoured officer. I hope your cadet career has been filled with exciting opportunities and memories and I wish the best of luck as an infantry soldier ❤
My grandfather was lieutenant-colonel in Canadian army during WW I, my Father was lieutenant in Canadian army during WW II, two of my uncles were also in Canadian army during WW II and myself, I was second lieutenant in Canadian army during peace time. Fortunately, none of us dies during our years of service. We have done our job to the best of our habilities. I am the only one alive and I keep the sabre of my grandfather as a precious souvenir. I will always keep a good memory of the Canadian Forces. We do not like the war, but we are always ready when we have to do it.
Ha thats me at 6:44 in the c2 lol. That was one of my favorite ex's. Only c2 in the troop and the only tank not go down for repairs. The thing was a beast and took alot of hard work from our crew to keep running.
The best army in the world prize goes to....CANADA! That's coming from an American, but there is no better country than Canada and no better soldier than a Canadian soldier. Canada has everything- progressive, beautiful, free moving, free thinking, nice pace to living day through day there, a lot of really great history, and my favorite sport hockey is the Canadian national sport. I'd love to retire to Canada. I've been to your country more times than anywhere else even here in the States and I love it. Keep up the great work Canadian Armed Forces. Keep Canada a safe and beautiful country.
Graduating grade 12 this year, put in my application for regular forces, doing aptitude test on december 11, 2018. So in 18 days, not sure how long I'm planning on serving but I will be proud to serve. I love Canada.
I am 42, and, looking back, one of the greatest regrets of my life is that I did not serve in the Canadian Armed Forces. By now, I'm overweight, missing teeth, and getting grey hair. Sadly, I do not think the Armed Forces would accept me by now. I am damaged goods, but that is the simple price of time, of life. The one thing that remains is that I am still 100% Canadian. As an older Canadian, I can offer solid advice in 2 words: School & Work. Life in the Canadian Armed Forces is going to give you a lot of School & Work. Yet, there is a greater thing: Canada, and, being a Canadian with all your heart. I could go on and on and on for 1000+ pages, in passionate writing. That said, sometimes, Wisdom is less words: and, thus, for now, I only give you two. School & Work John of Canada PS. To the Canadian Armed Forces: I am sorry. Perhaps, I am 20 years too late.
+John Scott All my friends that went into the Can. Armed forces were either killed by IEDs or came back with f'd up illnesses (PTSD from combat, cancer from hi.tech army equipment, etc.) that the government and the army ignored, gave the cold shoulder, and turn their backs on. Let me give you some advice. Don't recommend to people that they should do something that you have not done first yourself.
As the comments listed, a step at a time. Your 40, not 60! You can still enlist and leave with full pension and great pay! You need to get yourself physically fit in the least, and hell you don't need to go infantry (but you still can!) There are great jobs that are still combat roles such as artillery soldiers. You can also still serve, fire the guns, do the basic military qualifications course and ALL THE FUN STUFF, whilst still wearing the uniform and such by becoming one of the men (forget the name) who drive supplies to the front lines. Basically, you do all the fun stuff but sit in a huge warm truck with a heater and radio, driving supplies around whilst in uniform. Also, you are required by policy to be given a minimum of 8 hours sleep before work, so you basically get paid to sleep. Do it
Alex Delarge thats interesting cuz ive got a few friends in the army and none of thwm have gotten cancer for their equipment, and PTSD isnt as prominent as youd think. but i guess everyone has got different experiences right?
recently joined and still in my enrollment stages. Completed the forces physical test and on to my aptitude test next week. Extremely excited and looking forward to this 😀
Both my half brother and sister, grandfather during ww2 and uncle served in the Canadian military.. I never could though due to medical problems.. I understand and greatly respect what you people do for my family and myself and ALL us Canadians! ✌️
If only my grandfather was alive too watch this video he sadly died in 91 but he loved being in the Canadian army in ww2, many fond stories of Canadian lumberjacks and Scottish and English troops, he was originally in the Royal artillery but drafted into the Canadian army. Where he became Sgt major. Love and respect to the Canadian forces of today from a English family.
I can't wait much longer to enlist into RMC and become an officer, as soon as I'm out of high school I'm marching straight down to the recruitment center and enlisting. I already live in Kingston as well, so that's fairly convenient.
I feel confident that the Canadian Armed Forces will always be a strong, capable fighting force that will not surrender as long as one man (or woman) still stands.
Oh man I can't wait to get my aptitude test and interview done with so I can start with my basic training, I would very much like to reflect all that I respect. And a very large part of what I respect is the Canadian Army. I simply cannot wait to be of service to the Canadian people and to our beautiful country.
We have an arrogant Canadian Army Officer named Colonel Mark Gasparotto, too much talk but lacking in field experience... the pride of the Canadian Army,.
I'm leaving in a couple weeks for the forces, pretty stoked but nervous at the same time. So for the regular force, after your basic training, do you have to go directly for training for your trade occupation you've selected. And when you completed all your training including your trade occupation, do you have to stay longer before you can leave base for a little bit to see family and friends or do you have to stay on the job and serve directly after all the training?
Did five years hard time as a grunt back just before Somolia. The army has changed, softer but smarter. I feel better, that two of my boys are serving now. I would say, that what you learn in a combat trade, is a formal education.
zexna Shouldn’t be too scared. You probably won’t deploy often or too long. Even if you do it won’t be anywhere serious. Probably get attached to a US ARMY unit, USMC, British, or Australian unit on patrols with near immediate American or British air support. Especially with every Middle East war slowing down. Us Americans will back you up with overwhelming firepower to help our Brother and sisters to the North.
