However, you can volunteer to move to another Base and may also volunteer for deployment on a military mission within or outside Canada. As a Reservist, the choice to go is always voluntary.

Compensation

Uniforms and military gear are provided at no cost .

Meals and accommodations are provided during weekend field training, summer training, deployment training and deployment + extra pay.

Travel assistance may be available.

There are education reimbursements available through the Canadian Armed Forces. The Royal Canadian Logistics Service, Royal Canadian Electrical & Mechanical Engineering Branch and many Royal Canadian Legions have scholarships and bursaries that may be applicable toward your post-secondary education costs.

Dental coverage (for most items) at 90%, Health Care Premiums are reimbursed and you will contribute toward a Pension which provides financial and health benefits when you retire.

41 Service Battalion is in search of applicants who are ready to be trained in the food services system as a Cook. As a Cook, you will train as a part-time soldier and also train to prepare nutritious food items and meals. Courses are conducted using an apprenticeship system, preparing dozens of various meals for all meals of the day and special events. You will have access to a state-of-the-art kitchen in the Armoury and use the "Flying Kitchen" when in the field. As you complete your technical training, you will advance to leadership positions which promote you to positions where you will manage all facets of the operation including preparing menus and events, purchasing food and leading staff.

If you are already a Red Seal Chef, you may be moved up the processing queue.

We are located at the Debney Armoury, 8403 Roper Road NW in Edmonton and Currie Barracks, 4225 Crowchild Trail SW in Calgary.

Not a Movie

What you see in the movies is not what the Canadian Armed Forces is all about. You will learn how to push yourself physically and mentally to new heights. You will learn how to work as a cohesive team to achieve assigned tasks. You will be taught basic military skills like preparing your uniform, military drill, camouflage, map & compass, service rifles, hand grenades and NATO Orders Format. You will be taught how to survive in the cold and the heat. You will learn skills specific to your Trade. You will be tested. You will be cold or tired sometimes and often both. You will learn how to instruct, mentor, lead, plan and manage. To become a “citizen soldier”, a “weekend warrior”, a Reservist, takes commitment, loyalty, training and effort.

We are conducting an information session on Wed the 19th of March at 7:30 p.m. at the Currie Barracks (large building with the compound) at 4225 Crowchild Trail SW, Calgary, AB and the Debney Armoury (parking in the east and west lots) at 8403 Roper Road NW, Edmonton, AB.
