Hey /k/ I'm thinking of enlisting in the Canadian military,

Youll get physically thrashed to the point of breaking, treated like a child, cold, wet, carry heavy shit for long distances, sleep, eat and fight from a shell scrape you spent all night digging, and generally get fucked around to the point that youll curse the military.

However, youll make the best mates you could ever wish to have, learn a lot, gain mental robustness and drive, accomplish physical feats you never thought you could, shoot guns, and have great banter. Id say the banter and brews is what gets you through the shit times, and getting through the shit times and laughing about them doesnt make them seem bad at all.
Go to uni first though, if you have the chance, do it, get a degree, if youre still hot on the army then go for a commission, or if you really want to experience life as a grunt, go enlisted.

Eh, sometimes there's a little more to it than that. I've had a good time, though.

The "Thank you for your service" shit is awkward as fugg, because the people saying it literally pay me to do the job and my job was/is one of those that doesn't produce tangible results usually.

Hey OP, I've been in for a year and a half now.

>What are the physical requirements like?
Hilariously easy, though I believe they're changing them for the combat trades.
That said, it will suck ass for you if you're just hitting the minimums. A guy I went to basic with has some scoliosis btw, so that should be fine; his posture is permanently top notch.

My honest advice would be to take a year or so, make a bit of extra cash and obtain some gains. It'll make your life a little better.

Also, there are a lot of cool but lesser known trades that might strike your fancy better than infantry.
