The step test is not meant for someone with a high bodyweight.  I failed the first time even though I could run 5 miles and complete the 2.4km run in less time than it said was required.  I weighed 290lbs but am 6'3 and my bodyfat was relatively low.  I had to lose about 30lbs to pass the step...

If you are a suitable candidate you should get offered a position for infantry officer.  They did not fill up all the slots from the last fiscal year for infantry officer.  I know this because I was offered a position before year end (Mar 31) because they had left over spots to fill for that...

I am curious......I did the enhanced reliability check when you first apply.   Now I got offered a position as DEO infantry officer and accepted.   There was a long application(330-60) I had to fill out with previous employers, 3 references, and a neighbourhood reference.   It was 4 pages long...

Logistics Officer was my first and Infantry Officer was my second choice
