Special Operations and an Island father's Pride.

At the place I work I have the honour of speaking with a father whose son is a member of Canada's Special Forces. With regard to security no names are mentioned. In talking with this Islander you can see the pride in his face, hear the pride in his voice also you can see the worry over the dangers his son faces daily.

This is a brief view of Canada's Special Forces who are doing a great job in extreme secrecy on behalf of Canada and all Canadians.

These men are strong, brave and professional. Their training covers land, sea and airborne operations.

They are sent to any hot spot on the Globe on operational duty.

Our prayers and thoughts go out to each and everyone of these individuals. JTF 2 Recruiting Schedule

Are you interested in a career in the world of special operations? If so, there is some information here that could be of value to you.

There are not currently any direct entry programs into Joint Task Force 2 or the Canadian Special Operations Regiment. The personnel in these units have a minimum of two years in the Canadian Forces, and have demonstrated that they have the special attributes desired in people who fill these demanding roles. Therefore, if you think that service in these units is your preferred career path, you will have to enlist in the Canadian Forces and undergo the same training regimen as the majority of CF personnel. Once you meet the minimum requirements, which are reviewed and distributed annually, you will be able to apply for a position within one of the units.
