I'm considerng applying for Combat Arms and have one question regarding postings after training.
Firstly, I fully understand the needs of the Forces outweigh your personal choice.
Now the question...Does one have any say with where one is posted?
I've read elsewhere that those applying for the Infantry specifically select their Regiment in application process, and more often these days get asked their preferred battalion (during training). Someone inferred that there is a higher chance these days as opposed to the past that you should get where you request.
Is this also the case with the other arms? And how likely is a it to actually happen if such requests happen? My specific interest is in Combat Engineers, but i'm also interested in hearing about the others too. Any clarification on how things are done these days would be appreciated.
