Type of commission offered when commissioning from the ranks

[Sgt Fairy]

Hi there,

I'm considering applying for commissioning as an Int Officer.

Does anybody know what terms of service / type of commission they offer to ex rankers?

Having just done IMLC and TEAMT, I have 15 years service left (LOS30) and want to ascertain whether if I went for a commission and was successful, I would end up with less.

Some people have said it's done on a case by case basis and others have said that they cant offer you less than what you're already on.

Can anybody give me the correct information? I called the local AFCO and couldn't get a definitive answer.

Many thanks,

SF

Some on my IOT were offered PC (18 yrs) as the SSC (9 yrs) would have shortened their career. I was offered SSC which I pointed out would have been 6 months short of my 22 yr point, they extended it to 12 which takes me to 24 1/2 yr point... If I want that is...

Hi there,


Does anyone know the time it will take (on NEM) for an ex Sgt to reach Flt Lt and whether I would be offered 12 or 20 years commissions. Do they still refer to these as SSC and PC?

Many thanks,

SF

I'd get the books out and read for yourself, therefore when you are asked you can show that you've researched the relevant information during the selection process.

Sgt = 18 months as a Fg Off. I think your other question is answered in my earlier post.
