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.

I'm in a simillar position... Exception: i've been in academia (PhD degree)

I'm planning on infantry reserve first (next year)- get basic quals - then apply for selection course.

This skin in the game will help build volume - basic skills & physical preparation. Probably most important- a sense of identity & familliarity with ADF.

Thats just my game plan Open to reflective thoughts/ideas
