What a truly professional attitude.

I thought peacekeeping was a 20th century thing? We were in Op Anaconda, Op Medusa, and many more. Most of the guys that I've called peacekeepers have gotten offended and corrected me.

No. There is paid education through ROTP(Regular Officer Training Program), and nothing for enlisted personnel. This is because Canada has a different recruiting method than the US. The CF's aim is to attract people that want to make a career out of it, so a lot of enlisted are in for life and wouldn't need a degree anyways. It's shitty for those that aren't making a career out of it, but that's not why you're supposed to be enlisting.

The way ROTP works is you have to have your application passed through (extremely competitive) and then attend the Royal Military College of Canada or a university that on their list. After your degree you pay back your education with 2 months service for every 1 month of education. If you had a degree prior to applying for ROTP then it will be reimbursed.

How's promotion like in peacetime CF? I intend to work my ass off when I'm in next year, but I'm curious as to how much that affects it. I've heard it can take up to 10 years to make Sgt.
