About This Quiz
Will you stand at attention with the Army, fly in the skies with the Air Force, swim with the sailors in the Navy, or gather a game plan with the Special Forces? It's a tough question for many in the Canadian Armed Forces, but it's one that you have to decide on before officially joining. Just like any other job, it's something you could potentially do for the rest of your life, so you have to choose the perfect fit. But a lot more usually comes along with this job than a regular 9 to 5.
Depending on your personality, you might not be the right fit for certain branches of the military. Obvious reasons could be things as simple as a fear of heights, which is something you don't want to have if you're part of the Air Force. But if you're not good with direction, that could be another sign that it's not for you. More general characteristics that the military might be looking for is someone who is fearless and can get things done. You have a very important job when you join the forces that protect the country!
