Enlisted to Officer Rank.

[ForegoneReality]

Thanks to the advice of others I managed to pass the physical for the cadets.

If I don't make it beyond the interview/testing phase though I've always had in mind to join the PDF and use the experience of standard military life to increase my chances of gaining that cadetship on a later date.

The application form asks if you're currently a serving member of the defence forces; does this mean that a two star private after one year's service can apply for a cadetship without having to fulfill their original pdf contract?

no,
minimum rank would be pte for cadetship as the process will not take as long in the pdf as in the rdf from recruit to 3* pte, though it has been known for a pdf recruit to have an interview with the cadet board.

minimum for pot officer's course is nco..cpl and above,

keep safe.
