Another question... Is there any chance for a reserve officer to join the ranks of regular officers? I am confused because according to the sources I saw that the age limit is lowered, but I happen to check the age requirements in the websites of army, navy and air force and it still hasn't changed. With regards to the previous answer where a reserve can join the regular force. If I am not mistaken OPC is already abolished and according to other sources that it is changed to OCC 2 where the age limit is until 25.
