when i appliedi was told i was to young. In Canada you have to be 17 with parental consent and 18 without. At 17 my parenst refused to sign only after a year before telling me they would. When i turned 18, the Canadian military went into a complete overhaul and they cut the forces down and were also not accepting new recruits. They told me to join the reserves, well my intention when i joined the military was to either be in it full time and make a career out of it or not at all. as things went on, i kept thinking about it and such. Actually my whole intention was to get into the special forces or die trying. Either way at the original time i joined Canada had no spec op team. It wasn't until 1992 that the JTF2 was formed without the knowledge of the general public. It was until a couple of years ago, and this is something i wish i was told about, was that i could have gone to England, and joined the military there. Bad thing is byt the time i found it out, i was to old to do it, well not to old to join, to old to get where i wanted to. the maximum age for groups like the Navy Seals, or S.A.S is 28 with a minimum of 4 years in the military. being that i am now to damn old(hehe) and have a family my joining the military is now out of the question. I a the kind of person, and my wife knows this if i joined the military, the day i singed up would be our last day together. If the miliatary wanted me to have a wife, they would issue one. hehe
