Wonderful opportunities that normally would not be available to many. Now, when it comes to being admitted to a Medical school - that may be a whole different challenge. I truly appreciate you sharing this, dapaterson :)

That sounds interesting, does this mean that an officer could remuster to Medical Officer for example without having medical background?

Truly appreciate your response, have a great day!

Appreciate the response RichardCaan, I probably should clarify - I was asking about paid educational opportunities for those officers already serving in the Forces. I already have a Master's degree a would be joining as a DEO.

Hello wonderful people, hope everyone is doing well - could you please tell me what are the paid education options for regular serving members (officers)? Thank you for your time.

This helps tremendously, thank you kindly! Would you be able to share your opinion on which one (signals officer vs cyber operator) you consider be a better choice for someone multiskilled, up for a challenge and willing to learn and develop, as well as quite ambitious? Much obliged :)

Thank you so much for the response! Would you say that the signals officer, therefore, have better outlook both within the armed forces and in the civilian sector? I'm not particularly "crazy" about the cybersecurity sector but rather building a career within the army that can also translate...

That is very insightful and inspiring, to see all those successful careers going beyond retirement from the Armed Forces. I truly appreciate it, I never would've known about CMCEN. Happy holidays :)

Thank you, would you mind sharing more? :)

Thank you very kindly for the most helpful and insightful answer. In complete honesty, I feel very ready to plan/advise/lead vs. being strictly the "executor" however I'm aware that the hands-on skills in a field such as Cyber Ops will definitely be more valuable in the civilian world should I...

Hello, I was hoping to get some insight on the day-to-day duties of a Signals Officer, would you recommend this trade compared to the NCM Cyber Operator's? Does anyone know if it's possible to list both NCM and an officer trade as a preference? Thank you for your time. P.S. do you think...

Thank you kindly for your response, Sir. In the meantime, I managed to find an acceptable degree list on the CAF's website, it would seem that they only accept Engineering and Science degrees for the Signals Officers but like you said, if they have such a shortage, exceptions apply :) Data...

Hello team, hope everyone is having nice holidays. Does anyone know if a Masters of Science in Data Science accompanied by a non-science bachelor's degree would be sufficient for the Signals Officer position? Am I wrong in believing that a non-science bachelor's degree most likely wouldn't be...

Once again, I must thank everyone for their input, you guys are great! As of now, I feel I will apply for Intelligence/Logistics/HCA based on my experience and your advice. And When it comes to the Navy, I would definitely go for it if I wasn't a family man now - I used to be a seaman before...

I'm truly thankful for everyone's input, it is a big, life-changing decision so I might as well take some time to reflect and choose what's right. Would you say it's harder to get into Intelligence "off the street"? Absolutely agree, thank you for pointing this out. Which army job would you...

Makes perfect sense, that might be a good direction. I was considering a Healthcare Admin Officer position due to the possibility of utilizing the experience in the private sector (just in case) however I am not sure how satisfying would that position be... Signals Officer or even Logistics...

Thank you for reading the whole post and the realistic advice, I will definitely shift my focus only to finding a trade that would be a perfect match and provide job satisfaction. Do you feel Intelligence Officer is a good direction for me? Much appreciated

Thank you all for the inspiring responses. To clarify, I wanted to join the military since I was a teenager but I wasn't able to do so in my country of origin due to the political situation plus my family did everything in their power to stop me from doing so, including hiding the training...

Hello everyone, thank you for all the invaluable information provided. Would the experienced members be able to say which trade would be the best for an aspiring officer to (faster than slower) advance in ranks? Thank you for your time.
