Why do I want to become an officer? Simple: 1) I am a leader. I have the ability to lead people because I can command respect and trust. (This is what I have been told on many occasions) 2) I want to protect. I was considering being a police office, however I just don't think that's the life...

Fair enough... I suppose that does help a little. But you know our government. You never know! ;)

I have heard so much lately about the Canadian army getting funding cuts and basically being reduced to a peace keeping force. This makes me wonder if it is smart for me to be targetting my future to the Forces. I am currently in the process of getting a bachelors degree, and have 3 years left...

Greetings, Which Bachelors degrees are acceptable for entry into the Officer program? Also I noticed on the information page it mentioned ROTP... that is not required for entry is it? For example I want to get a bachelor of Arts degree. Would this be ample education, also is there anything...

Wow, thanks guys. Much appreciated. :) I suppose then if I do get my highschool equivilancy and join up as an NCM I should pick a trade that has some sort of direct civillian relation. That way if I decide after a few years the Army isn't for me I have a trade to fall back on and not have to...

I find it sickening that kids today have no idea/don't care what Rememberence Day is. My cousins have no idea, they just think it is that stupid day when they have to sit in a warm gym for 2 hours and sing the national anthem. I wish there was more of a way to identify with kids, and more knew...
