Good day everyone,
I am excited to start a new journey with reg CF soon. Still in early stages of ApT testing and interviews. I have a few question I can’t seem to find answers for or really I might just not be looking in the right place hehehe please help.
I live in Ottawa and I’m guessing I will get sent to Petawawa or Kingston.
Q1: After basic and all the other training to become a fully trained infantry man where do I live? Do I live on a base? Or do I live in my own apartment/home? And get to work every morning?
Q2: I have a car and I’m not sure if I bring that with me to basic and where ever I get sent for whatever. Do I need my car?
Q3: I’m trying my best to end up in a base near a big city. I have always lived in a big city all my life and Ottawa was actually the smallest city i’ve lived in. So are there any bases for infantry closer to big city by <1 hour? I saw a base north of Edmonton I believe it was 1st Battalion Princess Patricia. Is that an infantry base?
Any other information or advice anyone wants to share. Feel free.
Thank you
