  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hi. I am currently looking into the Canadian Forces, I have my aptitude test complete, and I have to make my decision, I have decided on Artillary, is there anyone out there in the Canadian Forces that can help me out, give me more info on it? I know I am not getting the whole story from the website.

Thanks! Peace,

Couldn't help noticing you're female.
Not that this is a problem. As far as I am aware, the Canadian military still operates in quite a smiliar fashion to us. Therefore, as a female, the Artillery is the closest you will ever get to the front-line, as a FOO (Foward Observation Officer).
Unless you're joining as a soldier, in which case it's still a good life, but I wouldn't recommend Close Support Artillery.
Of course, I'm speaking rather generally, not having that much experience with the Canadian Army.

I was an Artillery Officer for a short time in the early 1990s (U.S.). If you have any questions about Battery operations/gunnery, Fire Support or Fire Direction I might be able to dig up some stuff. Post here or PM.

If your questions are about what's it like being a gunner in the Canadian Army, I'm sorry, I can't help. ;)
