Once you’ve passed out of training after 32 weeks of rigorous physical and mental assessments, you’ll be assigned to a
Commando Unit as a General Duties Rifleman. It’s a job that most Commandos do for two years before they choose to
specialise. Once you’ve decided on a specialisation, which could be anything from Mountain Leader to Sniper, you
undertake an intensive training package.
At this point in your career, you’ll have achieved more than most do in a lifetime. And that’s just the beginning. You’ll be a Commando first, and a specialist second, and if you display the right attributes you’ll progress quickly. In short, all promotions are on merit. That means you can go as far as you want.
