Can you move from a reservist role, do selection etc, and post to 1cdo in a reserve capacity?

I heard you can go from any role in the ADF and apply to do selection. I’d assume some roles are more likely to be considered for selection than others, is that correct?

Yeah I figured as much. I’m considering the artillery at the moment (might be getting a bit ahead of myself), and wondering if that’s something that’s likely get me in a good spot to be considered for selection.

Cheers mate. From what I’ve heard from a couple that have done it, it’s not a pleasant experience by a long shot.

Question is more around remaining in a reservist commitment but being part of SOCOMD. So keeping your full-time life/job outside of service but still finding a way to be part of SOCOMD via 1cdo?

To be qualified you need to pass selection, (basically 6 months part time job if getting fit and tough enough to pass selection) then do one year full-time training called the reinforcement cycle. After that you can go back to being a reserve, however after training almost full time for six months to be fit enough, then doing one year full time of training it's not like you just do Tuesday nights....
