Hello Everyone!
I am currently a new-comer to milnet.ca and I joined simply because I feel this would be the spot to get some help on a decision I am trying to make.
I am currently a Gunner in Field Artillery, and I am considering trying to OT to Infantry Officer. I know some of you may say "Infantry officer, really?". I do understand it is a tough trade and you need to be in top physical shape, have lots of courage in being a leader, and be able to carry out tasks in a smart and calm manner. I am really looking to advance in my career because I know I will be part of the CF for a very long time. I am the type of person who enjoys constantly learning and went there is a task at hand i'll see to it that it gets done!
Whether or not this is a bad thing, I have already done an OT before and it was to Artillery. Same with my trade before Artillery, I really enjoy it. I felt that by doing an OT to Artillery would be great because I had a sudden urge to be a part of the "Combat Arms". Right now, I am looking into Infantry Officer because I know past all the training and time put in, it will be a very rewarding career. And I don't want to make it sound like im the type of person who can't make the right decisions seeing as it would be my 2nd OT, I am just constantly trying to find something better. What can I say, I am sort of an ambitious guy.
I am physically fit, I hit the gym everyday so I am not so much concerned with fitness. Although seeing as it is an officer and I don't have any university degrees, I want to know what my chances are and how can I accomplish getting to where I want to be.
Hoping everyone could give some good feedback, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks.
