I think that I should also add something.
If I have to give up some freedom and some control over my life in order to protect the freedoms of others then so be it. I joined the CF and now RCAF with my eyes open to this fact and have spent well over 20 years doing it. If you are joining just to get to Air Canada or another airline, that's fine but don't shout that out because it won't go over very well.
