Hey all,
Please forgive me complete ignorance. I have literally zero friends in the Canadian Armed Forces, so I really have no one to ask these questions.
i have been considering joining the reserves for a while now. One thing I have been wondering about is how much of the training for different CF jobs would be directly applicable to a civilian job. I'm considering a pretty broad range of options at the moment and was looking for advice on what to expect.
For instance, is trying for a position in the MP a logical step towards an ultimate goal of joining the Vancouver PD?
What about other CF jobs involving pluming, power engineering, or structural engineering? Would it make sense to join the Army to learn these skills to get into a trade?
Also, I know there are companies that are very accommodating to the work schedules of people in the reserves, but is there any assistance finding a civilian job that relates to the training you are receiving in the military?
