"Who is your role model?" My role model...
actually, I have two: it's my mom and my dad.
They've been there for me my whole entire life.
They've supported me, they've loved me
and I couldn't be any more thankful.

Good morning! My name is Sergeant Aime Hirwa
and I'm a recruiter
at the Canadian Armed Forces Recruiting Centre.
And I'm here to take the 60 seconds challenge.
"What piece of advice would you give someone
wanting to join the Canadian Armed Forces?"
I'd say: Give it a try! Give it a chance. When you are ready,
there's a place for you in the Canadian Armed Forces.
"What does leadership mean to you?"
Leadership means to me "leading by example",
"not asking your subordinates to do something
that they are not capable of doing".
"Why is diversity important in the CAF?" Perspective.
"How long have I been in the CAF?" 8 years and 8 months.
"If you could choose another role in the CAF for a day,
what would it be and why?"
I would like to be a psychiatrist
just so I can understand how we help people
dealing with mental health problems
in the Canadian Armed Forces.
"What is the most exciting thing you've done
or place you've visited during your career?"
The Arctic, that was very cold and very exciting.
"What sort of CAF roles are you currently recruiting?"
We are recruiting from anything going
from healthcare specialists to office administrators,
specialists in combat. Everything!
"Why is the CAF a great career choice?"
Because if you want a career that presents a challenge
and gives you opportunities to be exposed
to other people and places,
this would be the right place for you.
And that's it for the 60 seconds challenge. Thank you, guys!
