    Oh I just know that my gobbing off on here is going to cause me trouble on some courses if/when I eventually get on to them.

      Hey Jack.s

      relax man, you are probably frustrated, yet some of the information you seek is opsec - it involves movements of materials and personnel of the defence forces no matter how mundane you consider that.

      Go to your Corporals - ask them - repeatedly - use the chain of command - exhaust it
      chances are there will be a full time recruit training period this year as there are whispers that recruitment will commence sometime around the end of the first quarter.

      however:
      firstly, what is your rank ... officially? if you dont know, you CAN ask this of the chain of command.

      note, you shouldn't be considering a PNCO course if you have not completed the recruit phase and are not a full 3 star - i think this would prohibit you from attending it.

      however, if you have been promoted to 3 star - i.e. if you ask the above question and are told that you are in fact a 3 star - (your official rank is on your payslip) then you can be considered for a PNCO course.

      BTCs were disbanded and the RDFTA will now run this course as far as im aware.

      There is a YO's and a standard NCOs course being run this year.

      PNCO courses usually begin in the first half of a year and joining instructions are normally sent out by now so I have a feeling the next one wont be until next year.

      hope this helps - calm down man.

        ...Wrong, RDF BTCs are now part of the PDF BTC.

        ...Technically correct, but PNCO course 2012 in SBde was announced at the beginning of March, and ran weekends in March, April, May and June with FTT at the end of June into July. Basically, a PNCO course could still happen this year.

          Fair enough on the BTC's - whats their official status so? i was told that they were absorbed into the RDFTA so assumed that they had ceased to be?

            They have been absorbed into the PDF BTC's as an RDF cell, although are substantially smaller than the pre re org establishment, I won't go into specific numbers, but the taskings remain the same, ie running of recruit, 2-3 star and PNCO training.

              Well partially correct. BTCs are still to run this course. But if its not on the ATD its probably not running.

              The parts about the rank is correct. If you have not been published in Routine Orders as promoted to 2* and 3* by your C.O then the only course you can do is a Recruit Course, and if you are a two star, a Three Star Course for most units. There is not much getting around this.

              Only then is PNCO an option.

                    There are no RDF units anymore, that includes the RDF BTCs and RDFTA. There is now RDF personnel in the (PDF) BTCs and each school in the DFTC.

                      Have you found out what the story is yet?

                      There will be a course this year
