Re: anyone going to ADFA
Sure thing. My ADFA OSB (Officer Selection Board) for General Service Officer enlistment has been scheduled for the 19-22nd April. *Very excited!*
The ADFA Education Award scheme is partiularly helpful if you are considering joining the defence force via this avenue and want a taste of what the procedural steps in enlisting involve. The catch is that application for the award must begin during the year in which you are in year 11 so as the selection occurs in your last HSC year of school.
OTRS (Officer Tertiary Recruitment Scheme) also seems like a fairly sensible option for those interested in joining the ADF with a university degree. This option combats some of the issues raised earlier about ADFA not offering a double degree as it allows you (UAI permitting) to attend the university and partake in the course of your choice whilst funding your studies (HECs, Medical and Accomodation subsidies) after a year of proving consistent work. The only difference is that your enlistment is considered as a reserves alternative rather than regular Army - (if that were your service of interest).
Warranted that your health and fitness is up to parr, entry isn't all that hard and so long as you are an eager and committed candidate, the odds are always favourable.
Is anybody else applying for the 2006 ADFA Education Award?
Kind regards,
Melissa

DFR advised against your continued application?! Kind of defeats the job description of 'recruiter' ey? It does take some motivation but there surely isn't any harm in giving it a go, esp re: education award.
