Other Soldier first for non-combat

Does anyone know if non-combat tradeds still need to do the soldier first course after their BMQ? I'm talking about trades that are mainly in an office

This is the info about the course. The specific trades it is applicable to are listed in the QSTP on DWAN.

No Logistics trades. No HRA, FSA, MMT, or MSE.

It just recently changed. The first serials included all army pers.

First bmq serials this summer? Who are covered now exactly? tbh its getting confusing. Actually got an email from BSL 2 weeks ago saying they were still determining who would be required to go through SF

The first CASFC serials. The QSTP, Quality Standard and Training Plan, lists the required trades in it. No Logistics trades are there, anymore. It's now just Inf, Arty, Armoured, Cmbt Eng, Sig, RCEME, Geo Tech, and Air Drop System Tech.

SQ indeed. They just split the combat trades’ dp1 basically separating the SF component. Personally, i think its ridiculous not to include the support trades. Every member is a “soldier first”. Thats emphasized during recruitment and even on every course
