ME AND MY JOB
Many skills needed
The minimum requirement to be in the Canadian Forces is a grade ten education, but you have to have strong skills in all sorts of areas in order to be successful here.
Reading, researching, writing and working with documents are all skills I use at work. I think in any job you have to fill out paperwork of some kind. We use Math and Science when we're working the Command Post.
Communication is a very important key to success here in the army along with people skills. Being able to work as part of a team is a must. Without these skills I wouldn't be here.
