I was in the Infantry reserves for 2 years when I decided that I wanted to CT to the Infantry. My parents were big on education and we reached some sort of compromise. I applied to RMC ROTP and was accepted. I arrived at RMC and after several months I realized that I do not wish to be an Officer but wish to serve as an NCM and obtain my military leadership and experience through the ranks. I put in my memo to revert as an NCM. I am now currently in 'Holding Platoon' at RMC awaiting my reversion and posting message. My BPSO's interview is on the 10th of March.
I understand that these things can take time. I have heard of people waiting for 6-11 months for their reversion and posting message. This is way too long for a person with my goals, ambitions and abilities. For the first time in my life I know what I want to do with my life and it is to seve in the Infantry. Howevever somethings held me back and I did not follow my will. I did not trust my decision to CT as a NCM. There must be a way to speed this process up. I am an ambitious, disciplined, reliant, switched on individual and all I would like to do is to serve in the infantry and my country. I do not want to lift boxes filled with printers and computers everyday for 8 months. I want to serve in Afghanistan more than anything before we pull put. This is my goal, and I am afraid with the rate things are going I will not be able to make it. I am fluent orally in both Dari, and Farsi, and understand the middle eastern culture well. I would like to make a career, a lifestyle out of this. Everyday that goes by becomes harder because I feel I am stuck. My talent, drive, motivation, leadership and warrior spirit is being put to waste. Any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.
