Hello,
I have previously searched this but didn't find much info directly pertaining the my question.
I applied for EME and Eng Officer. The position of EME appeals to me more as I'll be using my educational background, however I do not want to be in a shop all the time. Not that it's a bad environment or anything, but according to the Canadian Forces videos (on their website), eng officers just seem more involved with other soldiers on the ground. Do EME officers get to do patrols, or go out with the combat engineers for certain training exercises and deployments? I want to involved as a member of the combat arms, but a recruiter I spoke to mentioned EME officers receive training I would be unable to recieve as an EngO ( Such a nuclear eng, laser guided systems, etc.) Any help would be appreciated (At this point I would classify EngO as my #1 trade choice).
Thank you for your time.
