huh where got people sign on before OCS one?
you're supposed to make it to OCS on your own merit first, and
then from there, they select who gets shortlisted.
that's how all my friends who are regulars came to be. you mean
you can automatically be put in OCS even though you're initially in
SISPEC just because you say you want to sign on as officer? no
wonder so many of the regulars are trash! Making it into OCS on his
own is about the very least of the very minimum I'd expect!
And that's not even scratching the surface. You need to go
through a whole long list of criteria before you select the best,
who must pass through the gruelling selection to be all-rounders.
And you guys have the shame to gripe about the elites?!
ridiculous.
no doubt still own merit... but usually for those who expressed
interest to sign on and performance [say, be able to qualify for
sispec in a competitive PTP/enhanced coy]/physical [again for the
scenario, silver/gold; but dunno why some who just pass still go on
to air/mids wing] makes the mark, their PC who interviewed them may
write some recommendation, and from there refer to the OC?
as for the criteria, depending on the vocation, each one may
have various tests and selection interview[s] to determine the
suitable candidates.. usually for those who are cleared, their
offer would only be valid if they qualify for ocs. and thus this
goes back to my 1st para. usually those who want to aim a certain
vocation do so mostly before/during bmt before pop.. [Xelement's
reply on top] as NSF posting is quite random. so if a NSF did not
apply for any positions before/during his BMT before passing out,
CMPB would post him randomly, and he may end up doing something he
doesnt like. and it may be very hard for him to get out of it, even
if he wants another vocation in the same service.
indeed there are still people who do choose to sign on before
ocs, but whether they can pass the stage and make the contract
valid, good luck to them.
