Why did you join and what do you do in
the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF)? I was always interested in the Army and I was looking for a career that would challenge my abilities, physically and mentally.
What is the best part about being in the Canadian Army / 5th Canadian Division? As a reservist, I get to pursue two really cool careers: an Infantry Section Commander with the Cape Breton Highlanders and a nurse at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital. The CAF education reimbursement program also helped cover my tuition in university. As well, I can train as a reservist while attending university in my community. The CAF has given me many qualities and experiences that civilian employers are looking for.
What is your most memorable experience? My most memorable experience is deploying to Afghanistan and working with people from different cultural backgrounds.
Why you have stayed in the
CAF? I continue to serve in the CAF because I like the camaraderie and want to continue to serve my country.
