As for when they can officially qualify?
That depends on when a certain anonymous captain can get promoted.
And those reserve officers and appointed officers without formal positions will become the first and second batch of students at the "Second Army Academy".
According to the original plan, the "Second Army Academy" would select the first batch of students from reserve and appointed officers based on exam results.
Those not selected would undergo basic training. After the course ends, another exam will be held.
Those who pass the second exam will be admitted as the second batch of students.
This plan, after many twists and turns, finally gained approval from all sides. However, reality still gave the "preparatory meeting" a harsh slap.
If strictly implemented as planned, the "Second Army Academy" would inevitably face the embarrassment of having "no students to teach".
