Hivi ndio nilielezwa kitambo.... General Service Officers is equivalent of Officer Cadets....unaanza na rank ya 2nd Lieutenant....then onwards to 1st Lieutenant..then...Captain....Major ...etc depending on the branch of Military you serve on...and other factors that will affect your career when you get commissioned as an Officer in the arned forces...initial training is 6 months..then after that pass out mnaendelea hio ya three years....commission ya kwanza ni 10 years...meaning you cant quit mpaka hizo miaka kumi ziishe...hawa ndio career officers leading enlisted and service men kwa vita.....(kama utakuwa infantry 2nd Lieutenant you will be leading a platoon of 42 service men) but there are others like artillery,armour, ordenance, helicopter,transport,signals etc etc kwa Army...then Airforce and Navy hv their own tracks.... if the Gods and politicians are good utafika mpaka General....starting salary ni kama 120k
Sasa hio ingine ya specialists officers training ni kidogo tu ya 4 months kufundishwa tu ku march and discpline kidogo...Your initial starting rank officer rank is much higher than a second lieutenant.... there is a rank which huwezi fika...sasa hawa ndio wanakuwa desk officers like doctors , engineers, lawyers,chaplain.....the military hasn't trained you on those careers...
