An officer in the Army has an opportunity to serve his or her country in a selfless, meaningful way. Armed forces officers are the managers of the military world. They lead others to defend their country and to support international peacekeeping and humanitarian efforts across the globe.
An officer can be stationed in any of the 65 international army military bases or at home in the states, run the gamut in ranks from Second Lieutenant all the way up to General.
I chose this job because I wanted to serve and protect my country, by choosing this job, I know that I am useful
My work is very well-known because for some it has been a dream since childhood. For example, more than two and a half million people work in the Chinese army. There are also almost 6 million soldiers in the Iranian army if we count the reservists.
I love my job because, in addition to feeling useful, it allows me to form a big family where we help each other. It allows me to stay in shape because the physical exercises are very important. I learn everything, weapons, care, survival techniques, there is everything.
My colleagues become like my family with time because I entrust my life to them. In combat if something happens to me, it is my colleagues who will come to my rescue. I have no choice but to trust them as they must trust me because we are all together to fight an enemy.
At the beginning, my first days were hard because I was far from my family, and I was not really ready physically for what was waiting for me. The wakings were very early in the morning and the training is really intense. With time, you get used to it, and now I am doing very well. It just takes time to adapt.
An infantry officer performs a wide range of duties, from commanding and directing soldiers as part of a team to serving in various staff positions involving planning, training, intelligence, logistics and personnel administration.
I intend to stay in the future because the fact of taking experience will allow me to go up in rank and to become someone of respect and importance, the salary of a commander allows living very well. In Canada, a senior officer can earn up to $80,000.
Yes, we have a uniform. This is what can save our lives sometimes because this uniform is equipped with Kevlar which is a material that makes up bulletproof vests that can save our lives if someone shoots at us. Our uniform is mainly green with patterns to better camouflage us in the jungle or in the grass but the uniform really depends on the environment where we are.
