Selective,
What's the status of the ADF as far as quality of life and career issues? I kinda remember that you guys were in the same boat as the Canadian Forces almost a decade back. The CF has gone through a drastic reduction in size and when I saw what was left and what was being asked, I took my leave when the chance came up with the Forces Reduction Plan.
For several years after that, I would not have recommended people joining the CF. The good people took the FRP and those left were either never offerred the FRP or who could not do better even if they took the FRP. I also saw our deployment schedule going through the roof. What's more, there were not the slots left open for promotion and with a pay freeze in place for the longest time, it was not a very good career/job prospect.
Hear the same kind of things with the British Army, especially with the Territorial Army. Our reserves got 60 days training before they got deployed. The TA had 14 days notice.
