Hey guys, as things change over time, I'm looking for the latest info on combat engineers, PRes in particular.
- To achieve the rank of Private-Trained (or Sapper), a candidate requires successful completion of BMQ, BMQ-Land, and DP1 course. Correct?
- To achieve the rank of Corporal, are there any other course requirements, or only a time requirement, or both? What are the expected general responsibilities of a combat engineer Corporal?
- To achieve the appointment of Master Corporal, I understand the PLQ course is required, and a certain time in the Corporal rank. Is this correct? What are the expected general responsibilities of a combat engineer Master Corporal?
- Just to know as a fun fact: Is it still considered a Combat Arms trade? Even though it has 'combat' in the title, the answer to this question seems to vary among troops.
Thanks.
