The Canadian Military, im joining Options

WELL

I am joining the Canadian Forces. I know there are alot of mixed oppinions about the force and well I have made the decision that i want to join. My whole side of my dads family has been in the forces, my great grandfather fought in the war. My grandpapa was a Major and my dad was a Corporal. I was in cadets and loved it.

I am just not sure what I am going to study and pursue for my career. I am in autobody so i may see if they have something similar to that, but I am interested in Weapons Tech or Ammunitions Tech. So many choices. Once I complete the testing they will tell me what division I am more suitable for and my decision will rest on what those results are, and my secondary eduction is going to help me too.

After that, I am off for basic training and posted somewheres, hopefully somewheres in Western Canada.
