When my father visited the netherland when he was young, he was hitchiking and was picked up by an old man. Upon reckognizing the accent and learning my father was French-Canadian, the old man started crying. He had reckognized the accent of the men who freed his village when he was young. it's stories like this that made me want to enlist. We love all of you back and are our greatest friends in my opinion.
They omitted some very important footage. 1- Countless hours spent in the cafeteria waiting for the next roll call so that you can go to lunch. 2- Crossing rivers in the freezing cold water while the officers and the senior NCO's cross the the same river on the perfectly good bridge that is only 20 feet away. 3- Hardly ever firing real bullets due to budget cuts. 4- Years and years of repeated training and being ready to go at a moment's notice only to have the reservists get all the nice out of Canada postings. 5- Being issued obsolete and dangerous equipment. 6- Coming home after a mission only to find out your wife emptied out your bank account, sold the house and is long gone with the kids. (happens more than you would think).
@@gavins9846 simple. The regular force army soldiers are only deployed for major or special operations. This means major conflicts like Afghanistan, Bosnia or the first Iraq war. Reservists get all of the (special) irregular missions. This means they get deployed a lot more than reg force.
For the people saying "Don't join the Infantry because it will break your body", I have 14 years in the Infantry, several deployments and 0 major injuries. I still beast 18 year old boots on the regular, and I feel better now than I ever have. Take care of your body and it will take care of you. Don't listen to these sacks.
Unfortunately it's on the US side, some 34 year old sandbag who looks 55 lives by "that's the way we've always done it" and thusly wants everyone else to hobble around!
I'll tell you one thing with my service in the CAF. Infantry have the funniest, down to earth, easy going people I've ever met. Until it's time to get to work. Then something clicks. And those mfs turn absolute beasts with calculated precision. It's probably the most insane shit I've witnessed time and time again.
As an former infanteer, I'm wondering why they would cam up their faces but not their hands ? We either wore gloves and or cammed up the hands as well.
I've been a reservist for over a year now. I'm infantry. Took me awhile adapting to the lifestyle with the training and getting to know your peers. It's becoming the best decision I have ever made!
Hey I’m in my last year of high school and thinking of getting a summer contract before I head to uni. Is there anything specific about training or do they just let you get a contract and you do on the job training
@@tysonmegahy7267 I honestly don't know. After BMQ there's also Module 1 and Module 2. Check out youtube videos on that. I think after you're a fully trained private you can take a trade. Talk to a recruiter for more info. Best of luck brotha!
@@wildbill1185 aaaaah thank you. I forgot to mention a reservist summer contract, because I know there are class B reservists like full time students that have reservists jobs in the summer. Thank you for the information anyway! All the information helps :)
@@tysonmegahy7267 Yup FTSE (full time summer employment)is also available. I still haven't done that neither lol. Maybe next summer because I'm hoping to get my Mod 2 done.

Do not recommend. Get a trade with a civilian equivalent, otherwise you're wasting an opportunity to gain a skill free of charge that will matter after you're tired of being bored, doing weapons drills and waiting around to get yelled at to move quicker because someone has finally had their coffee.
Hurry up and wait. Being deployed into 'battle' on school buses (yes, literally). Learning zero skills for the real world. Firing 'verbal' bullets (because there's usually no ammo). Often not getting paid on pay day and no military housing. If all this sounds appealing then the Canadian infantry might be for you. I wish I was joking about the above. 🤦♂️
I'm laughing at this because the JTF in 2014 were under attack by taliban forces and got in shit for returning fire 🤣 as it was Nato ops... this add is pure propaganda garbage

The Canadian Army has a special place in the hearts of Dutch people. Their sacrifice in the liberation of Holland will not be forgotten.

Roughly 1 year more or less

they fight beavers
Usually at the warehouse
