POC current affairs subjects?
Just wondering if anyone could tell me the kind of topics that have come up for the essay and discussion exercises in a recent POC?

I feel like an author being quoted. Well my devoted readers gather round...
Yes, topics are usually of an ethical issue or of current affairs. If you are up to date with current affairs you should breeze it.
You have to remember there are no set answers and they are more interested in how you answer the question rather than where you stand on the issue.
As long as it had a beginning, middle (with cases for and against) and a conclusion wrapping it up you should be fine.
However I wrote mine on "Whether the Naval Personnel should have sold their stories to the media after they were released from capture?" When the Captain asked what essay I wrote and what I said (basically was a "f@#k NO") he said "Good" with a nod of approval.
Had I said "Yes" then I believe it would have counted as a strikes against me.
Providing you’re not about to disclose you’re a pacifist (or something of that nature) you should be fine.
Best of luck again
