1) You needs to have skill to make judgement as a Commander. There will not be enough stations if every RC are promoted for the appointment of station commander every 2 years of services. There are other positions like Investigating Officer & etc after your RC tour.
2) If ground work is what you want, sign on Section commander cause SO are groom to take up Management position (Eg: admin work). But with a degree & you sign on as Section commander is a bit wasted.
Ikr...that's why I feel quite conflicted. A degree but signing as a section commander cause I wanna do more groundwork rather than administrative work...
