My apologies if this is too much of a repeated series of questions, mostly I'm looking for clarification from the FAQs. I want to enlist in the regular forces, most likely in infantry.
1 - I read the FAQ on tattoos and it mentions a new policy on neck tattoos. I have a tribal tattoo on my neck that would be visible, does this really mean that if I wanted to join I would have to have it surgically removed first?
2 - My wife has some serious concerns with me enlisting, I know there is already a post on this page, but I wanted to present the problems unique to my situation:
I'm 29 years old and married, no children. We own a condo in Calgary and she has just started school at Sait technical college, a two-year program. I don't want to disrupt her schooling, and she has some serious concerns about time apart. I know that Basic is 10 weeks, then there are another ten weeks after that. What I'm unclear of is how much time I would be away from home once I'm in the regular forces. Can anyone give me an idea, or give me a link to where I can find it? I've done a lot of searching, but I may have missed something directly under my nose. She has some real concerns with me being gone for months at a time after training.
I do plan on eventually speaking to a recruiter, however I think that would freak out my wife right now if she feels I'm moving too fast on this. Thanks in advance for any input you might have!
