I Googled "best defense forum" came up with mostly other countries military forums and figured it was best to come to my own even though I may apply to another which I will talk about later in this post. Once I got to this site I checked out each subject to make sure I posted to the right forum and I believe this is it, if I was/am wrong please let me know and apologies.
Onto the reason I am positing
My passion is to dedicate my life to physically serving in the most dangerous environments. That being said I would like (I shouldn't care) it if people did not judge me as probably one of two things: 1) Sociopathic or 2) Naive. I don't claim to know everything but have dedicated my life in the only way I can right now and that is to gaining knowledge on my passion, thinking about what my options are and making the best decision with what I know. It is a common misconception as I am sure most of you know that ops seen in the movies happen all of the time (unless in SOF which is from what I know probably my ultimate goal) or that there is no repercussions for taking in part in such rare ones. I think that covers that!
I see many options involving great sacrifice when it comes to moving forward including:
The CAF, Army, Infantry Reg. through transfer from Reserve because the trade of infantry in Reg. is probably filled for the next 5 years making it again probably impossible to get in whereas some if not all Reserve Regiments are probably hiring and you from what I heard can serve full time. Is there a right and a wrong Regiment?
Another AF, the only one that I know of that would accept me right now being the FFL which would require of course moving to France not my home country and learning the French language which may be a struggle/impossible and other as mentioned earlier great sacrifices. According to a friend the Brits even though after reading the Brits site I understood they only accepts Citizens!
PMC's if they offer training/high-end security which has a long training time when I am not trying to be impatient but have already waited a long time (since I was 18) and am looking to start now.
Policing which I heard is next to impossible to get into.
CSIS which doesn't appear to offer my interests.
With all of that said what I am looking for from all of you is as hard as it is an unbiased opinion in response to what you know about my passion(s), the options I see and any that I may not. Your responses will all be read and greatly appreciated!
Much thanks again as well for your service whether you are now or are interested like myself, hopefully I got everyone.

P.S. If anyone has any suggestions on a different approach to writing for a less offensive outcome if I did offend anyone (sorry) that too would be greatly appreciated.
