Hey all, Im 17 and currently out of high school. I dropped my semester because I slept in a little too much and lets say the school didnt approve of my pressance. I have about 4 months of nothing to do and Im looking at the army to help resolve my free time issue. Also being 17 I must mention I aint in the best shape of my life. Im weak and I smoke, but like any other person I want to improve on myself and make some money while Im at it.
Im not currently looking at the Army as a long term solution to life. I have a plan to go into computer graphics or programming. So I also plan to finish my highschool and goto colledge. Do something good before my oppertunity passes me. I live in Burlington Ontario and when I was in grade 11 we got a private and a corpral come to my old Catholic school recruiting for field artillery. I like most others was interested in it, but time got in the way of things and I never got a chance to join. Now having nothing to do Im rethinking.
Well my biggest queston of all is where could I join? Living in Burlington I know that there is a naval base outside my apartment window overlooking Hamilton Harbour but Im not looking to join the navy, I aint a fish and from the two Canadian boats that I seen, one was send to Hamilton because it was too old and the other one had a chopper crash into it.
Also how long will recruitment take and when will it start? I plan to goto summer school so Im not looking to miss summer. I just want to fit my time in the army with the four months that I have.
Can I possibly fail in the army? Well this is my second question since I'm 6'3 weigh around 150-60 and on top of that I smoke. Basically meaning if I run a bit too long I might get a stroke and turn colors.
Can the Army offer me a schoolarship in any colledge of my choice? Well Im asking this because if I join I need to finish school right after and that goto colledge so if not than I guess I could become an officer...
Well thats about it really. Ill check this later for some answers. :warstory:
