Hello, my question involves the role military officers. During training will I need to be gassed and have the injection?

Any other advice of what I may have to experience during joining would be great. I’d like to see what I could be looking at when joining the army as a military officer thank you.

    Good morning, If by gassed you mean conduct CBRN training then absolutely, this is one of the many basic requirements of all Soldiers and Officers. Its great fun watch others after you've had your turn.


    As for the Injection, I'm unsure what injection you mean. Will you be require to have the basic immunisations to keep you safe in preparation for deployments yes but nothing out of the "norm".

    I second that Michael,


    I still remember my 1st time in the chamber. I was 3rd to unmask. The 1st man was almost immune to it, the 2nd defiantly wasn't.


    Get in there 1st guys, then sit back a watch everyone else come out.
