I&#8217;m now in Quebec with the recruiting team to promote the Navy and all the career opportunities available with the Canadian Armed Forces. I explain to people all the programs we offer, such as our paid study program and our naval experience program. Having a job that allows me to travel is definitely what I like most about my work. Furthermore, the opportunity to meet new people and share my passion for my field with the young is motivating. I wasn&#8217;t sure at first whether I wanted to join the Canadian Armed Forces, or whether I wanted to be in the Air Force, the Army or the Navy.
