Suddenly inspired by a TV ad for the Canadian Air Force, I visited the Canadian Forces web site. Using the Career chooser it looks like I belong in the communications industry fixing stuff. The first was an Army job as a Signal Operator and the second is a Aerospace Telecommunications and Information Systems Technician - basically an Electrician rather than an Electrical Engineer.
They sound like interesting, if not challenging careers. Why I’m even considering this probably has to do with my fascination with the Forces for a number of years. I’d like to think that if I chose a different direction in life, that it would be with the Armed Forces… although as I’ve proven from paintball matches, I’m a total camper. My service on the field would probably be less than admirable. However, I’ve proven that my quick reflexes and hand-eye coordination have proven handy in flight sims, so why not reality?
However, my 8-bit Nintendo doesn’t really simulate 7G forces very well - so I can’t be ABSOLUTELY sure…
