Are you obligated to be the AOC member and buy the Award magazine?

Here in the States, we must go through the training for min of 6 years, some regions (harder ones) are 7 years (this includes 1 year of clearking).

Congrat!!!

Yeah we must be a member of the AOC and subscribe. The minimum term is 5 years, I don't think I could cope with 7.

You can get a Bachelor degree in 3 or 4.................

If one likes orchids, the works required is fun. Otherwise, it can be a torture.
Not to talk back for 7 years is an accomplishment!!!:D

Possibly my Military training from the age of 18? lol

I did talk back a little but overall I managed to watch and learn.

I did not talk back at all, but I did not kiss ass, so I got additional 6 months of training ( read...torture):mad:.
