How do I become a non-commissioned officer?
Hello, on January 1, 2025, I'll begin my training as a Panzergrenadier with the Bundeswehr in Bavaria, after which I'll be going to Lithuania for at least two years. I wanted to ask how I can become a non-commissioned officer during my career? Or, roughly, how long does it take?
Not at all. You’d have to ask for a career change.
If you in your career If you want to become Uffz, you must already be in the career of the subofficials.
So in my career, in principle, I can only climb up to the rank of the colonel-free?
Until the Staff Corporal, and the earliest after 10 years of service and only with particularly good services.
Underofficer is the next higher career, so you should change the career.
Okay, thanks, then everything’s clear.
