The awareness advertising
toolkit aims to highlight
how you can support
recruitment efforts.
Whether that means
being featured in an ad
or engaging with ads
on social media.
Today, we're speaking with
Corporal Olga Antiperovitch,
a CAF medic who was recently
deployed on operation UNIFIER
to provide us
with some insight into
her involvement and experience.
I wanted to start off by asking:
"What made you want
to become involved
with the awareness campaign?"
I just wanted a good opportunity
to share my story.
And this was one of the ways
to do it.
So, I got asked to participate
and I immediately said yes,
because it's a good opportunity
to share my experiences
and share what I have
to offer for the CAF.
Absolutely! And I'm sure
that the filming day was quite
an experience for you.
Can you tell us a bit more
about that?
We filmed right
in front of the tent
we were doing training
in front of.
The camera was all set up, they
asked me a couple of questions.
I was really nervous about it,
because I was...
I'm so used to saying just
the TCCC acronym.
I don't really pronounce
Tactical Combat Casualty Care.
So, we had to shoot it
a couple times.
Regardless, it was
a good fun day.
The answers.... the questions
were really good,
because it really gets a good
grasp of what I had to offer
and what I was doing
here in Ukraine,
and what I was working on.
Especially with... the events
that were happening
in the background.
They were all doing medicine
and the tents were all set up.
And everybody was working hard.
Excellent!
And what does it mean to you
to be able to represent
the Canadian Armed Forces?
It means a great deal, actually,
because I worked long
and hard to become
a Canadian Armed Forces
medical technician.
Seven years in this trade
and I have a lot of experience.
I've been to a couple
of places already.
All the medical experience,
all the training is now
being put forward
into what I have to offer.
And I just... I wanted
definitely to share to people
that, you know, this could be
your job at some point.
Because, somebody is replacing
me, and at some point,
somebody will replace him,
and so on, so forth.
And someday, it'll become
somebody's interest
at one point.
To show your support
for your fellow CAF members,
like and share recruitment posts
when they come up on your feed.
There is no better way
to support the campaign
than to be a part of it.
