On the radio while driving home they have been running ads for becoming an officer in the Australian Army. They’re pushing the fact that it now only takes 18months of training at Duntroon to become an officer.

I wonder whether existing Army Officers feel cheapened by this, after all the time and effort they would have put in to get to where they are?

And while I would welcome such a rush campaign for say, doctors, nurses or police officers, I’m not sure what the point and/or need is for ever more Army officers. Maybe we sent too many over to kill people in other countries for possibly having bad thoughts.
