sadly senior officers never wanted men from the ranks so to speak...they never considered their ability and knowledge....hopefully this may change....too late for many though...

10 POC was supposed to start in circa 2015 or so. DOD were dragging their feet about the T&C despite a lotnof pushing from J1. They only got agreement on the T&C at the end of 2017 and competition was run in 2018.
I would like to see them run every few years and have it as a viable career path rather than someone be lucky to meet the criteria when one is advertised
Army logic (including DoD in that)
The biggest cadet classes in the history of the State, shortages of officers in units, more and more taskings, UCAS, etc etc
Were the public service career breaks also actively encouraged in the DF ?
Now having said that the NCO rank loses some very capable experienced NCOs but it hopefully makes the DF a better place
Not actively encouraged but facilitated more often than maybe previously
If an enlisted member got accepted onto a cadetship would they have to do the whole 15 months of officer training or would they enter at a later stage because of their previous military experience?
Out of curiosity in terms of enlisted and commissioned personnel how long do they have to wait to serve overseas?
I spoke to a serving officer about joining last week and he told me he waited 8 or 9 years to get the chance.
It really depends on unit and Corps. In the Infantry, the largest Corps, it's about 3-5 years for a Private. For a Lieutenant, it's about 5-7 years.
This will also depend on the number of troops overseas, there will be an increase from November so waiting time will reduce.
Getting the first trip isn't a problem, its the second trip for a Private that is almost impossible to get unless your a cook or Mowag crewman.
If you are in certain corps, though, your chance is much higher I would presume.Extension of Service is impossible for most to achieve as there is not enough overseas trips, so it is ignored. The average is about one trip in 9 years.
"Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"
I know of one Non infantry officer who couldnt get an overseas trip until a Captain vacancy came up. Even then, the mission was scrubbed.
German 1: Private Schnutz, I have bad news for you.
German 2: Private? I am a general!
German 1: That is the bad news.
