Joining the Green Beret Commandos as a Canadian?

[Medeiros]

I dont know if anyone can help me with this question, but I want to educate myself before doing anything stupid. I was originally going to join the CF Reserves, but you have to wait until april for recruitment and I don't want to wait that long. My main concern about joining the Royal Marines Reserves is deployment. Will I be deployed? I'm only 17 and would rather train and live my life for the next couple of years. In the CF Reserves being deployed or going on tour is completely voluntary and even if you volunteer you still have to be selected. How hard is it to join the RMR as a Canadian?

Sorry, its 8 am and I have had no sleep, excuse the "what would appear to be" intoxication.

Any time you are going to try to join any special forces group, you have to expect its going to be the hardest thing you'll ever do. They try to wash you out physically, mentally, and intellectually. People underestimate the intelligence needed for SpecWar. The hardest part is that you have to be able to think and reason while you are suffering from exhaustion. Think of it in terms of giving birth, passing a kidney stone, and doing calculus all at the same time while someone is telling you that you can quit at any time.

* I have never been a part of a special forces group, but I played one on TV.

After playing Black Ops I immediately thought I was qualified because it taught me everything I had to know!

ill probably stick with the CF reserves then
