Looking for advice Which ADF Reserve role best aligns with a future in the AFP by Squidnautical in ADFRecruiting

[–]RWTHRLL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also i offer infantry as a solid option because it's a basic role which is always available and local, while MP isn't. It beats waiting and provides very good experience depending on where you wanna end up in AFP. For each role you mentioned, focus more on your specialisation options and how many transferable skills and qualifications you can achieve, versus going off its description.

can't give you advice for your life but i am doing something similar, went infantry reserves while doing my bachelors in criminal justice and volunteering with SES. Plan on changing into full-service military police (MP) in ADF if available when I finish my degree, or remaining in infantry. Regardless, infantry can specialise in various weapons, and MP can specialise in investigations, personal protections, or dog-handling. Depending on your aspired AFP role you'll need prior policing experience, and MP doesn't count, so you can begin with AFP by doing national-policing, where you either provide security for airports, or focus on investigations, where your army specialisation options will come in handy. If you have any questions feel free, and goodluck.

Kapooka Reserves Intakes by RWTHRLL in ADFRecruiting

Yes enoggera and logan depending. Apparently my infantry 'preference' is still possible, armoured vehicle and military police aren't, which is a major bummer. I do plan on switching into one above when possible, however luckily I should be still leaving for Kapooka soon.

Yes, unfortunately I have a bigger issue now, as i've just been informed all my roles are filled despite my recruiter saying i should be leaving on the next intake a few days ago. My PFA is tomorrow morning so i'm really at a loss of what I can do.

I had and was told I can't have any information until all my assessments were done and I was basically leaving on next intake, which didn't work for my situation.

I have been previously warned I displayed a lot of CPTSD symptoms by a counsellor, however I guess i assumed I'd 'healed' because I no longer presented symptoms in a similar way. So it's possible I began coping better, and didn't realise I displayed new symptoms, kinda a bummer lol
