For as he finishes his training he will take his place in the front lines of our freedom at home and overseas. But it takes time to produce these highly trained soldiers. And to maintain our security, to discourage aggression, we must be able to meet any eventuality. That is why we must have more young men for Infantry training now. If you are interested in Canada’s future, now is the time to do something about it. Serve with the most important men in the Army — the Infantry. There are outstanding career opportunities for young men in the Canadian Army Active Force. You are eligible if you are 17 to 40, tradesmen to 45, and ready to serve anywhere.
