Well done fella, great news. Now do you have to wait until the end of july or something for the board to decide out of the guy's that passed everything who gets the commision's. Or do you know now?


Big congrats anyway :D

Congrats mate, you must feel 10 feet tall with all that weight off your shoulders.

My AIB's soon so looking forward to a detailed report... :wink:

Thats why I didn't apply for ossifer. Too much of a risk I was told, even if I was to pass everything perfectly, that would not guarantee entry like for recruits. Too much of a gamble for me, I will however apply for a service commission after getting the lid.

Nice work Deadhead, can't wait for the diary.

How was the score? I ask because my OCLO said that alot of PO's had been failing the AIB and that a good score at AIB should get you a commission.

Felias, are you not then gambling that you will:
1) Be put forward for a Corps Commission, and 2) That you will pass POC and AIB at a later date?

So then you're gambling that a)you'll be accepted for a core commision anyway, b)you'll pass POC (and you can bet the standards are MUCH higher is you're an enlisted man. You should be able to scream through the phys no problem) c)you'll pass AIB d)you'll score high enough to be accepted. They only accept 8 or so corp commisions a year.

Of course it's a gamble. 99.995% need not apply. It's harder to get into the Corp as an officer for a reason.
