Raul has been extremely fortunate during his military career as he was afforded the opportunity to earn multiple jump master qalifications, instructor qualifications and ratings. Raul’s career as a military instructor came to a culmination when Raul ran the Para Training Platoon at the Canadian Army Advanced Warfare Center.
