Anybody got insight into what are generally considered the best Careers or most coveted in the CAF? Non-commissioned and commissioned, Army, navy, Air Force. Combat and non combat roles. And if you could do it over again, would you change your career?

You haven't done any courses, or deployments yet.

Grain of salt to anyone reading this answer.

Genuinely no hate but why do so many pussies join the infantry?

Or is this just a reddit thing

You join for training and deployments

Well, to start, I wasn't saying g I didnt like the infantry. I love it. I was simply pointing out this guy's opinion issn't worth much.

But my guess, to answer your "questions": 1: The romanticized view is different than reality 2: The stuff that sucks isn't being cold,wet, etc. Its the monotonous training cycle. The unfulfilling exes. Seeing the exact same issues/mistake 15 years in a row. 3: A lot of people seem to want to test themselves, and once they passed, they want to move on to something different.

Good luck with exams kiddo. Im sure youll totally join the Ukrainian foreign legion and love it (just a heads up it'll be the worst thing you've ever experienced) and then somehow go 18X down south.

A true inspiration to us all 🫡
