I have been seriously considering joining the CF for a while now, but there's a few questions I need to get a clear answer to before I can make my decision:
1) I have been attending a university for an undergraduate degree for 3 years, due to a combination of reasons my grades have been failing hard and I was required to withdraw from the university on my final year of the program. With 3 years of university but without an undergrad degree, am I still eligible to apply as an CO?
2) A friend of mine who has some experience in the military told me that once you've applied and gotten into NCO, it's extremely difficult and basically impossible to transfer to CO. The choice of being as an NCO or CO is set for life. Is this true?
3) Once I'm in the force, I'm very much like to station near my friends and family in Edmonton. I know for a fact that there is a military base not far up north of Edmonton, the CFB Edmonton, but I've also heard that it is mainly an airforce base. Therefore, my question is, is it possible for me to request to be stationed in the Edmonton Garrison as an infantry or armored division?
4) As mentioned before, I was in the university for 3 years but I was required to withdraw. However I would very much like to complete my university education and obtain an undergrad degree. Is there a program in the CF besides applying for NCO that would give me the opportunity to do so with tuition paid for by the Force?
I understand that these aren't easy questions to answer. I really appreciate your time and help. Thank you.
