Hi,
does anyone know whether I will be able to get into OCS with a
conviction. I have heard that with a conviction on record, the
chances of getting into OCS is significantly dimished. The
conviction is not having an exit permit, so it is a very minor
conviction. Apart from that, my record is entirely clean.
However, I have a degree in law and I train and go to the gym
often. Please advice.
Hi Linleel, I'm glad tat you show interest in joining the
officer corp.i doubt you will have issue getting into OCS if you
show the right attitude and prove your worth in BMT. You have the
advantage over the rest in terms of qualification criteria. Make it
clear to your commander of your interest and work towards it.
SITTEST plays a very important role so do well it in. I must warn
you that going to gym doesnt nesscary make you combat fit. The road
is vigorous and tough but fruit of labour is worth every inch of
your life. You will feel that everything you did is worthwhile on
the day your parents don the epaulette onto your
shoulder.
However, I'll like to ask you to think through the reasons why
you want to be an officer. Its important because that will
establish your mental model before u even embark on the journey
towards officership. The many times i want to give up, i ask myself
why am i here and all is clear
