who is MCpl Darrell J Priede?

[CanadianArmyNews]

@65016792 MCpl Priede was an image tech and a former member of the Army News Team at CFB Gagetown before deploying to Afghanistan early in 2007 as one of two image techs working in their Public Information Office. He wanted to show Canadians the hard work and accomplishments of their soldiers. Regrettably, after being in Afghanistan for a little over a month, he was killed along with five American soldiers and one British soldier in a helicopter crash.

[DissentingVoice]

Wow, a 49 y.o. can join up in Canada? That guy's got some stones. I'm 43 and there's no way I could repeat what I did in USAF Basic Military Training years ago...these Canadian troops are good to go...

[JillnRe]

@asr12388 why?

[LEGACY471]

@Cybergeron89 You have to understand that they are saying to you or they will just scream it louder until you do.... this is experience talking here. Just go to your local recruiting office and talk with the recruiters they will be able to help make your choice of either joining now or latter when you feel that you are more fluent in English

[jesuisfred]

@NamoArts If I can suggest try to go reservist (for the environment that you want [Navy, Air force or Army] and finish your high school, once you are finish with your high school you can transfer to the Reg Force.

Believe me this can help you in your military Career as it can open more possibility for training and a better your chances of getting your first choice of career. Also by joining the reserve you may get up to a 180 days less to wait to be promoted to Corporal/Leading Seamen

[Cybergeron89]

@unknownDJ1000

I believe they test you on this during the medical test. It may limit the trades that you can apply for. (I think I read somewhere for field artillery you need to distinguish the colors labeled on different artillery shells.) It all depends on what you apply for. I haven't been through the medical yet so I'm not entirely sure. Go talk to a recruiter. Good luck.
