Great
Ordinary Seaman- Supply Technician (Employé actuel) – Victoria, BC – 22 août 2019
Love it, join up!!
Reserve force allows for a personal life and it’s perfect if you have kids. If not then regular force is a perfect option for stable full time work that’s always changing and evolving.

Best Job
Training Coordinator (Employé actuel) – Ottawa, ON – 22 août 2019
Serving in the Canadian Armed Forces has been an honor and privilege. It gave me many skills that are in demand in todays job market. Every Canadian should serve there country, for period of time.
Rewarding and fun place to develop skill sets
RSM/Headquarters Sergeant-Major (Ancien employé) – Toronto, ON – 21 août 2019
The people you work with is what makes the workplace very memorable. It doesn't matter how long or how hard a task is, if you are with the right people with the right personality, it will make any type of work or task easy to accomplish.
If you love camping, shooting, and hiking
Private (Employé actuel) – Lethbridge, AB – 20 août 2019
If you love those above activities the army may be the job for you, they offer full time employment as well as part-time. I did Full Time Summer Employment and managed to get all the course I wanted to get done and had a blast while doing them.
Best experience of my life.
Infantryman (Ancien employé) – Canada – 19 août 2019
There are no words to explain the amount of knowledge I've obtained, and how much experiences I've gained from serving. I won't lie, it was difficult from the first day to the very last. Lack of sleep, physical exhaustion, and only thing to keep you going are the friends with whom you form a strong bond, and desire to push. Nothing like it.
discipline, structure, family
Reserve Weapons Technician (Ancien employé) – Hamilton, ON – 16 août 2019
Joined when i was 17. never regreted. did some really cool stuff, sat through some really boring stuff, and endured crazy limits that you'll never regret achieving.
It takes a certain kind of person
CIC Glider Pilot Instructor (Employé actuel) – Gimli, MB – 10 août 2019
If you are strongly self-motivated and can compartmentalize on duty and off duty time then you can usually have fun. Otherwise, this job is physically and mentally exhausting, and often frustrating. Long term hard work pays off but you don't really see the effects. Definitely a strange work culture, often aggressive and toxic, but also a strong sense of camaraderie.
Awesome opportunities
Assist in disaster relief (Employé actuel) – Summerside, PE – 3 août 2019
I wish I would have done this sooner. The opportunities are endless. Fulltime summer employment, paid training and class B contracts. A person can't get any better than the CAF.
It is what you make of it.
Infantryman (Ancien employé) – Edmonton, AB – 1 août 2019
Depending on the specific trade that anyone is evolved in. Experiences may vary in the Canadian Armed Forces. But at the end of the day, its all what an individual makes of it.
Good Career
Canadian Armed Forces (Employé actuel) – Hamilton, ON – 30 juillet 2019
Joined reserves at 16, provided employment as a teenager and valuable experience to set me up for my career. I become an infantryman and developed valuable skills that have helped me in every day to day life.

Very disciplined/Many valuable skills and Experiences
Corporal rank in the Infantry (Employé actuel) – Montréal, QC – 22 juillet 2019
A typical day at the unit will always vary; sometimes you may be cleaning the drill hall or performing a weapons inspection for the recruits or you might be in the field shouting orders and digging trenches under simulated fire.
I have learned many things from my military experience so far, namely the importance of punctuality and teamwork (two huge factors in deciding the fate of a firefight in warfare). I have learned patience and virtue to all aspects of military culture and the hardships of being a leader and having ten lives in your hands.
When it comes to management at a unit or on a deployment, it varies largely. When it comes to new recruits, you need to be more patient and considerate. It takes initiative to be leader and lots of "thinking on the spot". When it comes to qualified privates or newer corporals they tend to look up to you and take initiative of their own.
The hardest part of this job would most likely be the long days without sleep and constant physical labor when you are in the field. Sometimes you may go three sleepless days of hard work and grueling workouts or rucksack marches only to sleep four hours then another two sleepless days.
The most enjoyable part of the job would most likely be the closeness with your comrades and how everyone is family in the CAF. Every hardship is experienced by all who follow you whether it be simulated combat or a nine month combat deployment; everyone experiences similar things which reinforces the bonds between soldiers.

Naval Weapons Technician (Ancien employé) – Everywhere – 22 juillet 2019
Many different challenges, work depends on your supervisor and how well you get along with them. There are alot of self motivated people so the idea that they are looking out for you is not there. Has many benefits but just has many hurtles.
Points positifs
Good Pay
Points négatifs
Away from family
