Episode 1: TRAINING in the CAF Reserves with 2Lt. Hoffman
Welcome to the first episode of Exploring the CAF! A video series where I'll be interviewing members of the CAF to gain insights into their experiences. Episode 1 features 2Lt Hoffman, a Logistics Officer from the Lorne Scots Regiment. I met 2Lt Hoffman on BMOQ Module 2 in July of 2019.
If you or anyone you know is interested in doing an interview, please don't hesitate to contact me! I'm looking to share stories of a variety of trades, units and branches. If you get value from this video please like, comment and subscribe for more! :)

Well done to both of you! Great first person look at the trials, triumphs and fellowship that come along with training. Nailed it - need motivation - absolutely dig into Jocko. How can you not feel the drive after one of his podcasts. Again, nice job looking forward to the next video.

So happy to hear that!! :) Glad to be providing some value
I wonder if Anne has ever looked into the whole Combat Controller trade that the USAF has? I realize that Canada doesn't exactly have an equivalent but it's just interesting to have bridged the infantry/air traffic controller gap of your own accord. Just goes to show there are super cool folks doing amazing things out there from every age group and walk of life. Great interview!
You did a good job on this Kyra! 👍🏻

Lmao I was the same way, my whole teens I was in air cadets but was so into the Army and ended up joining the Army at 17 as infantryman, stayed in for 6 years and then released. I am currently in the process of rejoining into the reg force.
Nice personality
