Like all types of pilots in the Canadian Forces, it is a very challenging career. There is no guarantee though of becoming a helicopter pilot. The Canadian Forces hires people as "Pilots", and it is not until part way through your training that you are assigned what type of aircraft you will fly.
Generally it will take at least 5-6 years before you are trained. Longer if you need to do a university degree first. Also its CH-146 Griffon, and CH-149 Cormorant.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
