I was just wondering if anyone out there has had the opportunity to meet or be a married couple that has enrolled in the canadian airforce together with children.
My husband has served 15 years previously and now at the age of 45 has come to realize that time is ticking and he has now begun to think about his pension. Well, as we all know, returning to the forces has now regained his attention.
Myself as a career person, has given it alot of thought about joining the air force as a RMS Clerk while the re-enrolls. We have two children aged 7 and 11 and was wondering if anyone has experienced this. How committed is the military in making sure that the family stays together or is there no question?
Our concern is the children of course. If I stay at home while he does his basic training and trades training he will then be posted to a base. I would send the children up where he is while I do my basic
and trades. What are the chances that the air force will also need a RMS Clerk at the same base that
he is posted?? I hate to think that I would send the boys up with him for six months while I did my training then change them to be with me when I am done to where I am posted for a year or so until
something comes available either where I am or he is then have to move them yet again.
We were at the recruitment center yesterday and spoke with them there and he showed us a sheet that
gives you the numbers that are required for each trade and it states on there that RMS Clerk (836) only
requires "one" to be filled. He stated that this number changes all the time. Is there usually a demand
for this trade?
I know that what they tell you at the recruitment center and what actually happens can be very different. So I was wondering if anyone has experienced this sort of thing and how they managed. My husband has been telling me so much about the CF that he has me scared of where I will be in twenty years..LOL
Thank you so much for any input.
