EP:69 - Officer vs Soldier

In this episode, I discuss the difference between an officer and a soldier within SF. How do they differ? What are their primary roles? What options are open to both? Not sure which path to go down? Take a listen!

What about going in as a senior NCO?

You'll go back to private once you're in the unit.

What about if picking the reserves path if youre already in your 30s and have a professional career in a certain field already?
Is it better to just go in as an officer as you're already mid-management level at your civilian job and just continue in that capacity in your reserve Regiment and shoukd you pick a trade similar to ehat you already do, so it serves as a crosstraining opportunity or is it better to join as an NCM/"Digger" and go in as infantry, since it's part-time and the only job you cant have the chance to do as a regular civilian, albeit being alot more physically tasking than say taking up a Digger role in Signals or something else ?

[@rhysdowden]

Plenty of great opportunities in reserves including SF. I would go Infantry as a digger and attempt selection for 1CDO.
