Hi All,
I'm a healthcare professional civi currently in the process of joining the Health Services PRes as an Officer (got all the references, credentials; passed FORCE test, security check, medical..etc). I've looked through the forum and couldn't find answers to the following and so will appreciate any input from senior members/recruiters.
I'm thinking of switching careers and have always been interested in Geopolitics, History and Sociology. Very interested in reading, analyzing and advising leadership on broad geopolitical strategy. Some people mentioned Reg F Intelligence O (ex. in the Air Force) as they advise senior command on strategy after climbing a few ranks. I'm also interested in Logistics O as option 2. These are the two main ways I'll be able to contribute to the Forces while still doing something meaningful.
So, my questions:
1) If I don't have a uni degree in the social sciences/humanities, should I even bother trying for Int O given the competitive nature of it (though no specific degree specialization is required)?
2) To be a Reg F Int O, is it faster and easier (ie. higher success rate) to:
Join PRes Health Services Officers first, then -> CT to Reg F Int O?
...OR...
Join PRes Health Services -> CT to Reg F Health Services -> VOT to Int O
...OR...
Pause the PRes process and DEO directly into Reg F Int O?
3) Are there different candidate pools for DEO Reg F Int O and VOT Reg F Int O? If so, which one is bigger usually (and does anyone know the 2026/27 quotas)?
4) AI (which is questionable) mentioned that if I start the CT process in the middle of Health Services BMOQ, to get into Reg F Int O, it's considered "DEO". Is this true?
Please help and thanks!
