Currently I am in grade 12, and I'm starting to think about college. I noticed in the college courses book a program called Military Arts and Science. After school I would like to join the Army as Infantry, and I'm wondering if it would help to go to college and get my Diploma in Military Arts and Science.
I am currently doing a Diploma in Military Arts and Science. This Diploma IS what you want if you want to be a NCO. If you want to be an officer then guess what? RMC is recognizing the Diploma of Military Arts & Science as credits at their school towards a
Degree in Military Arts & Science. Which means if you wanted to be an officer you could just do another year of education at RMC.
