hello, I check these forums time to time to check up on all the cool things but this time I'm going to get some advice. I'm currently 15 and turning 16 at the end of August. I want to join the reserves (Lincoln and Welland Regiment) once I'm 16. I've always loved history and since the age... god knows when, my guess is 10 or before, all I wanted to do was serve and do something different and fun. Finally, at 16 (with parent permission), I can go into the recruiting office and get started on everything I've always wanted.
My question is: Do you guys recommend a kid just turning 16 to join up? I'm in good shape. I surpass all the physical requirements by double and I can run 5km pretty well. I'm pretty good at school, with 80's and 90's. I want to know how BMQ, SQ and Infantry Training (I want to start as infantry until after college/university where I plan on maybe going full time) goes, like on weekends, summer... etc...
I'm always scared to post on here because I'm not really sure if I'll be doing something stupid or wrong, but I want answers >. I remember many people saying to join the cadets on this forum when I was like 13/14 I think, haha.
Anyways, thanks in advance guys and gals for anything I can expect and if I'm on the right track and how long I should expect (unless they met their capacity on how many they can recruit this year), than I'd love to know how long until everything goes through, would I have to wait until 2009?.
Thank you all
