Basic Training is required before being assigned. Please note that, if successful in the application process, you will be entering service in either the Regular Force (full-time employment) or Primary Reserve Force (part-time employment) of the Canadian Armed Forces as a military member.• Regular Force: Upon completion of all required training, you will be assigned to your first base. While there is some flexibility with regards to postings (relocations), accommodations can’t always be made, and therefore, you can likely expect to move at some point in your career.• Primary Reserve Force: You will be joining the Primary Reserve Force through a specific Reserve unit. Outside of training, your chosen Reserve unit will be your workplace on a part time basis, and you will not be obligated to relocate to a different base. As part of the Primary Reserve Force, you typically work one night per week and some weekends with possibilities of full-time employment.To learn more about the various ways to join the Canadian Armed Forces, visit: https://forces.ca/en/how-to-join/#wjJoin the CAFTo learn more about becoming an Avionics Systems Technician, visit www.forces.ca, talk to a recruiter at a centre near you or call 1-800-856-8488.Explore over 100 different career opportunities at www.forces.ca/en/careers.
