So I'm debating applying for the Canadian Forces

[*SunShyne*]

Now, I'm not in the best physical shape, the thought of guns/war/fighting scares the hell outta me, and I'm a bit of a puss.

BUT.

Since I will be living 1KM from the DND (Department of National Defense), and they hire for part time non-combat positions (like administration), I figure why the heck not? Canada's been good to me and I love my country more than anything else (not to mention I am a sucker for men in uniforms).

The only thing that holds me back is my fear of eating healthy & exercising, guns and war...

But other than that, I feel obligated.

I've gone though the first step already and applied for an administrative clerk on the base around the corner from my place.... I just got a response back saying that the next Soilder's Qualification will be in September... so that gives me 2 months to get fit and get over my fear of guns.

I'm looking for any feed back that anyone may have... I want to get back to this guy before I move in 4 weeks....

Good on you for stepping up and going for it.

Although living in Esquimalt is kind of ghetto.

if you can handle structured authority, do it, it is a fantastic, educational path in life.

i was always confined to my barracks for bad behavior. :(

It's Colwood... even more of a shithole

[mapleleaf4ever]

Oh trust me, I know.

I used to live south of there. At least Colwood has CanWest Mall.

Sooke... not so much of anything.

But you're assuming that I read more than the title header before I responded, a tactical error!

(In all seriousness though I find it foolhardy to be involved in the death industry if guns make you sqeamish, but that's just me)

No, i figured you just responded quickly like most people do.

[miss.myra]

If you're living in Victoria, why not get an administrative job working for some branch of the provincial govt? That pays probably just as well and you don't have to deal with the fitness, or the guns.

[*SunShyne*]

^^^ not a bad idea!!!!!

[Silverwinged]

huge lols all over the place in this thread.

[mojo]

take the job just so they will whip your ass into shape. Otherwise you might always be a plumpy, and look back to when you could have shed the pounds and done your country a service at the same time.

I heard a daily burger intake and waking up at noon is PERFECT for the military.
