The CF wants anyone to join, I dont know why the CBC is running a story for the need for FN.

Canadian Forces prepare to mark the military's self-proclaimed Aboriginal Day on Thursday - Mr. Fawkes

[EyeBrock]

There are plenty of Aboriginals in the CF, and they have a long and proud history.

[Wada]

I just knew there would be something we would agree on.

The Royal Native Canadian Regiment.

The Taliban doesn't stand a chance.

Credit where it is due. Aboriginal Canadians have been soldiering for Canada since the Seven Years War (and before).

I think it would be great for more aboriginals to join the military as well.

Are you in or thinking of signing up?

There are a lot of efforts going on - RAVEN program for one. I can't say I've seen much success.

Then again, maybe the natives don't like sailing...

My kid is thinking of the RAVEN program. He wants to be on the water...wonder if he gets that from me.

[Gunnair]

Maybe. He might enjoy both as long as he don't mind ...

[EyeBrock]

Join the Military. Man and boy it made me. Ten years of good (mostly) fun with hard work thrown in for a good attitude.

[TattoodGirl]

He has experienced that a few times on the Alaska run tugs with his Uncle...I think he should give it a shot

[Gunnair]

Ohhh... frigate/minesweeper in open seas have some more dynamic movement.... urp!
