I was given this list of trades after my CFAT to choose for an officer trade so naturally, being a Civil Engineer, one of my choices was Engineer Officer. I was warned by the recruiter that it is “combat”. I didn’t understand it then and I sort of just brushed it off because I have done my research and I know what Engineer Officers do. Then this morning, I happened to flip the paper and saw the French counterparts. I was so shocked to see “Officier du génie de COMBAT.” So I went to the forces’ site to verify this. Clicked on Combat Engineer and when clicked on “Francais”, it is translated to “Sapeur de Combat” and a university degree is not needed. I find this very weird because when I went to the career fair, I met a Combat Engineer in the reserves and he is an actual P.Eng (He is French so maybe they call it like that). Anyway, I am just so confused. Also for the interview, I don’t want to sound stupid. I don’t know why the recruiter warned me.
