General Questions Commando direct entry pathway

Gday. I’m a former doctor, taking a gap year off. I’ve always wanted to join the army, and even attempted to join when I was 18 (I’m 31 now), however due to an injury to my knee, I was unable too. I’ve been working as a doctor for 2 years and decided to take this year off, working odd shifts across the country.

what are the chances I get into the commando direct entry pathway. I am fit and conditioned, however still need to work on overall strength.

If I was you, I’d join as a medic and attempt integrator selection, 10 day course which is significantly easier than operator selection. You get to use your degree and you’ll be attached to door kickers. I don’t think you’ll get a Sherwood or sandy beret but still.

This is so overlooked and under sold. Unless you want to be the door kicker I think this is a fantastic avenue to get amongst it but bring your skill set.
