Soldier to Officer

Post by wllcr »

Is it possible to go in as a soldier...do basic and what not, study and get 180 ucas points and then apply for a commision??? Or can you only apply at a certain rank

or would you need to leave and then re join....as that sounds a bit counter pro ductive?

It is always best to come in as an Officer....Promotion to an Officer from the Ranks is not that unusual, but you really have to shine while you are in the ranks and need to be some thing special to go forward as an Officer
