Hello Sgt Corry Wallace this is ............ Charles King. Please pass on a BIG HELLO, I think he'll remember lol. I kinda stood out he'll tell ya stories about me. Point to know guys plan for retirement at an early age. Day I submitted my release was on my 50th Birthday 30yrs of service I am financial freedom with no debt. Great video
ATIS tech…he is a “Jimmy” because the cap badge on his beret is a jimmy figure. Very small trade. They do all the communications systems on the ground. All wear the Air Force uniform. Exceptional trade skills on civy street.
For an immigrant looking into the reserves; Officer or NCM route for a person that already has a degree? Is it worth it in the long run, or it's better to invest one's time in something else?
It always depends on what you wan to do in the forces. I wanted be technician NCM even though I could have applied Officer. I just did not want to push paper all the time. However, it is easier to change to NCM if you try and do not like officer.
Oh i see, got you Just want something slightly different from office 9-5 job and learn some additional skills & maybe grow network of people along the way too. In other countries, it's really prestigious and highly sought after to become an officer but it's like the Canadian system looks down or doesn't really rate their Officer corps or promote it like the US does, and it'd always bothered me, as those are the people all the NCMS/SNCOs have to take orders from and entrust their lives in their hands, so why shouldn't more solid folks be encouraged to go there so they help shape policy and have the best interests of the men as the forefront? Don't know if Officers in the US Ranger Regiment, 82nd Airborne Regiment or even Nacional Guard units are basically"paper pushers" as they attend Ranger School, attend airborne, and do alot of field exercises and trainings just like the NCMS, but I've realized that this "dont want to be a paper pusher" trope is always dropped on folks not to encourage them to go in as an officer. My question is don't reserve officers get platoon leader time even for at least till Captain rank, before they have to step away from tactical work and then start having more of their duties focused on become more focused on strategic planning? I've always wanted to understand why the Canadian system promotes and pushes folks to go the NCM path, is it the economy that drives that or something else ? @rockyrookiehouse7732
If you take the medical industry, the more education you have the more you get paid and the more you are trusted to make decisions. This is how society grades you. It is as such in every corner of the world.
@rockyrookiehouse7732 Right, so you're suggesting with the degree one has, one should go officer in the reserves, since one has a lot more knowledge at that age & level?
