There are many pilots who have enjoyed their time in the RCAF, and have posted their experiences in similar threads on this board. As Ralph pointed out though, the current government hasn't provided much funding for the military over the past 10 years. The result are aircraft like the CF-18s that are only now getting upgraded to be compatible with the rest of NATO, at the expense of mothballing parts of the fleet for one example. The RCAF is also almost half helicopters, so you could easily end up flying them instead of fixed wing. Not a problem if you want that, but if you would like to move to the airlines one day it could hurt your chances. The RCAF has a long a proud history, and is supported by many of us in the public, but the Liberal government seems bent on destroying it. There are some new leaders in power now, so the situation may get better, but we will have to wait and see.
