Reserve Soldier choosing to commission as Reserve Officer - a few questions
Afternoon all,
I'm a Ph1 trained Reserve Soldier thinking about applying to commission. Just had a few questions, if anybody had done this before or knew of somebody who had.
-
What is the process? I assume speak to my ReMso or PSI and they would load me onto an AOSB briefing?
-
I understand that in the Regs, commissioning from the ranks usually carries with it a forced change of capbadge. Is this the same in the Reserves?
-
What were your general thoughts pre and post? Did you regret it, or were there any challenges you didn't anticipate?
