Welcome to your new guide – How to Pass the Army Officer Selection Process . This guide has been designed to help you prepare for, and pass the Army Officer selection process, including the Army Officer Selection Board (AOSB).
The founder of How2become, Richard McMunn, has spent over 20 years in both the Armed Forces and the Emergency Services. He has vast experience and knowledge in the area of Armed Forces recruitment and you will find the guide both inspiring and highly informative.

He has also been extremely successful at passing job interviews and assessments himself and has a success rate of over 90%. Follow the advice and preparation techniques carefully and you too can achieve the same levels of success in your career.
Whilst the selection process for joining the Army as an Officer is highly competitive, there are a number of things you can do in order to improve your chances of success, and they are all contained within this guide.
The guide itself has been split up into useful sections to make it easier for you to prepare for each stage. Read each section carefully and take notes as you progress. Don’t ever give up on your dreams; if you really want to become an Army Officer then you can do it. The way to prepare for a job in the Armed Forces as an Officer is to embark on a programme of ‘in-depth’ preparation, and this guide will show you exactly how to do just that.
If you need any further help with the Army Officer Selection tests, Planning Exercises, getting fit or Army Officer Interview advice, then we offer a wide range of courses, books and DVD products to assist you. These are all available through our online shop www.how2become.com .

PREFACE
BY RICHARD MCMUNN
I spent four years of my life in the Armed Forces from the age of 17 to 21. During these four years I experienced some of the best moments of my life. My career in the Armed Forces taught me how to be disciplined, it taught me how to be organised and it also provided me with a sound footing for a successful future. But it didn’t start out all plain sailing. I initially failed the selection process for the Armed Forces by failing the medical due to being overweight. I can remember sitting in the Armed Forces careers office in Preston, Lancashire at the age of 16 waiting patiently to see the Warrant Officer who would interview me as part of my application for joining. I had already passed the written tests, and despite never having sat an interview before in my life, I was confident of success.
In the build up to the interview I had worked very hard studying the position I was applying for, and also working on my interview technique. At the end of the interview I was told that I had easily passed and all that was left to complete was the medical. Unfortunately I was overweight at the time and I was worried that I might fail. At the medical my fears became a reality and I was told by the doctor that I would have to lose a stone in weight before they would accept me. I walked out of the doctor’s surgery and began to walk to the bus stop that would take me back home three miles away. I was absolutely gutted, and embarrassed, that I had failed at the final hurdle, all because I was overweight!
I sat at the bus stop feeling sorry for myself and wondering what job I was going to apply for next. My dream of joining the Armed Forces was over and I didn’t know which way to turn. Suddenly, I began to feel a sense of determination to lose the weight and get fit in the shortest time possible. It was at that particular point in my life when things would change forever. As the bus approached I remember thinking there was no time like the present for getting started on my fitness regime. I therefore opted to walk the three miles home instead of being lazy and getting the bus. When I got home I sat in my room and wrote out a ‘plan of action’ that would dictate how I was going to lose the weight required. That plan of action was very simple and it said the following three things:
1.   Every weekday morning I will get up at 6am and run 3 miles.
2.   Instead of catching the bus to college, and then back home again, I will walk.
3.   I will eat healthily and I will not go over the recommended daily calorific intake.
Every day I would read my simple ‘action plan’ and it acted as a reminder of what I needed to do. Within a few weeks of following my plan rigidly I had lost over a stone in weight and I was a lot fitter too!
When I returned back to the doctor’s surgery for my medical the doctor was amazed that I had managed to lose the weight in such a short space of time and he was pleased that I had been so determined to pass the medical. Six months later I started my basic training course with a big smile on my face!
Ever since then I have always made sure that I prepare properly for any job application. If I do fail a particular interview or section of an application process then I will always go out of my way to ask for feedback so that I can improve for next time. I also still use an ‘action plan’ in just about every element of my work today. Action plans allow you to focus your mind on what you want to achieve and I would strongly recommend that you use one during your preparation for the Army Officer Selection process.
Throughout my career I have always been successful. It’s not because I am better than the next person, but simply because I prepare better. I didn’t do very well at school so I have to work a lot harder to pass the exams and written tests that form part of a job application process, but I am always aware of what I need to do and what I must improve on.
I have always been a great believer in preparation. Preparation was my key to success, and will also be yours. Without the right level of preparation you will be setting out on the route to failure. The Army is hard to join as an Officer, but if you follow the steps that I have compiled within this guide and use them as part of your preparation, then you will increase your chances of success dramatically.
The men and women of the Armed Forces carry out an amazing job. They are there to protect us and our country and they do that job with great pride, passion and very high levels of professionalism and commitment. They are to be congratulated for the job that they do. Before you apply to join the Army as an Officer you need to be fully confident that you too are capable of providing that same level of commitment. If you think you can do it, and you can rise to the challenge, then you just might be the type of person the Army is looking for.
Best wishes,

Richard McMunn
CHAPTER 1
THE QUALITIES REQUIRED TO BECOME AN ARMY OFFICER
Before getting into the selection process and the different elements of the Army Officer Selection Board, we will go into detail about the qualities that are required to become an Army Officer. The reason for this is simple; We want you to concentrate on demonstrating these throughout the duration of the selection process. If you demonstrate these then your chances of success will increase dramatically.
Many candidates who attend the AOSB will be under prepared. In addition to this, many candidates will spend hours scouring internet chat forums in an attempt to find hints and tips on how to pass the AOSB. Whilst there is nothing wrong with this, the most effectively prepared candidates are those who concentrate primarily on demonstrating the key assessable qualities in or
