there are many in this forum who have aspirations to sign up in
the saf and im very glad there are these people.
i hope those who are considering to sign up know wat they are
getting themselves into.
signing up to be an officer takes a special person, tats why during
bmt, the pc will ask who wants to be considered for ocs. recruits
are put thru scrutiny all the time, and leadership glimpses are
recognised , even those who admit to not wanting to be considered
for ocs will be drafted simply becos they showed leadership
qualities.
every cadet has to go thru a common triservice course simply becos
all terminology is anchored to the army. all navy, air force pers
need to communicate on a common ground as these arms primarily
support the army ops in wartime, heck arty, engineers, all work to
support the armys mission.
hence all cadets while in ocs go thru a rigorous fitness regime and
are taught the basics of up to the bn lvl of ops. any futher
specialist training or sudden realisations to move to s3, s2, will
come after the usual assessments fm oc / co lvl. wat im tryg to say
is while the individual may want to be an int offr the superiors
may not recommend.....
nowadays , the army has very specialised duties and asking to
specialised becos of interest will definitely be entertained by the
services.
any way , an intelligence officer in the army.... very siong , in
all lvls fm pc (scout), s2, (bn), bde (as2, dys2, s2) all lvls of
work an int guy has to go thru to be somewat only armed wif a
little knowledge to operate effectively is extremely tedious. its
easier to be an s3 than s2 any time !!!
