CAF Story | “Nothing is impossible.”

CWO Martine Guay is responsible for looking after the morale and mental well-being of her troops. Proudly the first female Regimental Sergeant Major at Canadian Special Operations Forces Command Headquarters, she believes that taking care of one’s physical and mental health is the most important step toward achieving their goals. #MyCAFStory #CANSOFCOM

'It's not about being a woman or being a man, it is about being able to deliver...', a statement that I think strongly describes what leadership or any position should strive for. I hope to convince this to my junior Air Cadets.

Trying to get my CT moving to get into the reg force, the struggle is too real.

What do infantryman reservists do in their local home units? Like what roles do they play when they aren't volunteering for deployment?

[garydose]

Great interview, cool to get some insight into the mind of the RSM at CANSOF

[KelliReimer]

God bless you, and thank you for all that you do and have done for our country!! Always proud to be a Canadian.

Some things are definitely impossible because I'm sitting here with 20/20 vision in my right eye and around 20/40 vision in my left and I can't get into a combat job.

A very affectionate greeting and with much respect to you my Sergeant Major Guay. In Panama there is an officer who I also respect very much and is from Senafront. Greetings to you, Sergeant Major Guay, and feeling proud to be Canadian. Bravo!👍

Did we get new uniforms? I thought we were still sporting CADPAT

I was in the CAF is 2015 and now I want back in, looking into joining reserve forces. I was proud to serve with the Canadian Forces.

[alexb]

It's my dream to be in the canadian special forces!

[canadians]

What is the name of Canada's Special Forces. I did not know there was a Special Forces in Canada.

[tgdemon]

Surprised to see infantry not in CADPAT - are they wearing the new multicam we've been hearing about?

Why are the vision standards so high? Every combat trade you need next to perfect vision, yet in the US, the UK, New Zealand, the French Foreign Legion, it's all lower, I know because I messaged them and called them. So you need 20/20 and 20/30 vision corrected to be in combat, but to be a boatswain which is essentially naval infantry you don't? These are the questions I ask myself. Now since I can't get in I'm having to look at ever alternative, Russian armed forces take foreigners, New Zealand takes foreigners, Australia, the FFL, the UK, but there's always a stipulation to get in. It's overly complicated.

I listen to Shai Leboeuf in my weaker moments. Do it! Just do it! Make your dreams come true.

I remember playing as we called it Bruce Lee basketball, Bruce lee broomball Bruce Lee any sport in the army. Bruce Lee meant no rules full on contact broken nose's and good ole fashion fun. We would wipe the blood off and tilt a few pints. Good times. lol

Before joining the military, do yourself a favor and watch the movie Zeitgeist.
