Becoming an Officer

Before your Colonel recommends you for the Officer Academy, you must meet the following requirements:

  • You need to have been in the CA for at least 31 days.

  • You need to have been in your regiment for at least 2 weeks.

  • You need to have an account on the website (www.nixpca.com)

The Officer Academy works by a Colonel recommending one of their Master Sergeants to be invited into the academy. During the Master Sergeant’s time within the academy, they will understanding the following subjects:

Stage I: Expectation, the standards of an Officer.

Stage II: Administration, how to design and create organised procedures.

Stage III: Instructing, how to effectively lead and train your men.

Stage IV: The Law, understanding how to act based on the law and rights of men.

 

Each stage will be taught directly by a HQ member to review your capabilities to become an officer. Stage I will act as an introductory course that will outline points you need to be aware of for the other stages. The other stages will end with a test referred to as an “examination” that you must pass to proceed.

In doing so Master Sergeant will mainly be a rank to teach them about how to be a officer and preparing them for what is to come when they do enter the officer core.

THE OFFICER ACADEMY WORKS IN CLASSES -  

I.E. - Class I, Class II, Class III, etc. Once every member of a certain class has passed the Academy or been dismissed from it, the Major General will begin a new class. If you were too late at the start of a Class, then you must wait for the current Class of enlisted NCOs to finish their Academy. This is due to HQ not wanting our Academy to completely fill up with NCOs looking to be trained. 

  • Your CO dms your Brigade's General. If there is a current class of NCOs then you need to wait until the next. However, if there isn't a current class of NCOs then you will be directed to the Major General who will allow you into the Academy.
  • They will send you the Officer Academy of Education Trello and you must watch all Advanced Educational Videos. 
  • You will join the OA Discord and from there begin your Academy process.


If you pass the Officer Academy, The Major General will commission you. If you fail more than twice, you must wait 2 weeks before retaking it if your CO still wants you as an officer.
