It doesnt work like that in our army .
You dont get to do 6 months and there you are a 2nd LT all ready to boss about some NCOs and a bunch of squaddies 10 yrs your senior both in age and in the biz.
With us you do 1 or 2 year NCO school -half of wich is practising what you know at a domesticially based unit with conscripts.You then end up with either a Sgt. rank if you did the 1 year school were you served as a corporal , or as a 2nd Lt if you did the 2 year school were you served as a sgt .
You can then apply for commissions as a 2nd Lt etc in the overseas/international ops or in our Nationally based forces around the country .
Also the divide between the rank and file and the officers is different .
Our conscription army has the same divide as you other people out there with the officers /NCOs separated in their own mess for meals etc etc .(The officers get paid too).
But in the international ops its more of an all ranks set up where everyone share pretty much the same conditions .
So in short - most commissions were for officers -wanted to work in the forces you had to get one .This is changing now though ,wit ha greater number of grenadiers - paid volunteers that enlist after conscription- and a move away from our good old peoples army set up.
