    Hi Jasmine,

    Great question. Fitness would obliviously be the main thing I would advise that you keep on top of. Aside from that the army's core values and standards would be the next thing to align with. I would also have a look at the Army's leadership code. Especially as you're wanting to join as an officer.

    All of this information is publicly available via a quick google search.

    Hope this helps. If not, please feel free to ask any further questions. I am an engineer so have plenty experience with engineer officers.

    Warm Regards,

    SSgt Rob Needham
