@@pascalp1469 I enjoy my freedom and the ability to get 8 hours of sleep. I also want to be judged on the merits of my own accomplishments/work. The military is all about teamwork and holding everyone accountable for the weakest link in the group... and there are a lot of weak links in the military. Just a very different world than finance where I came from. I think its easier to deal with if you are passionate about service and young which I definitely am not.
@@pascalp1469 I'm sure it gets easier after basic but I didn't stick around to find out. Also did not enjoy the hazing and yelling from the instructors. Very different from the corporate world
Where are the tracked IFV's (CV90...) to complement the Leo2's with equal off-road/snow capability? Or is that a inconvenient political can that has been kicked far down the road, like after the next balloon goes up?
@@1ABNDTunfortunately the CAF isn’t very lenient in accepting anyone with medical conditions. Even people with conditions like asthma or diabetes have a difficult time joining.

Awesome episode. Making me wonder if I made a mistake picking infantry over armor 😂
I actually applied for both, along with Gunner. Still in the enrollment process, I'll pick the one that calls me first.
@pascalp1469 ended up leaving the military after basic. Just wasnt for me. Going back to the office. Good luck though 🫡
@@Tribuneoftheplebs Thanks! If you don't mind me asking though, why did you leave? You said it wasn't for you, but what made you realize that?

Is there any positions in the CAF for a 1 armed person that is extremely capable & motivated.
No. You can't join with just one arm
@@SpidermansSymbiote why?
