I hear the number of SO positions will be 170 by the end of 2019. Personally I thought they'd need more than that?? (End of 2019 is a while away)
I see you read the press release.
How many cadets will make up the 170?
Approx 70. Depends how many choose to continue with their cadetships (there will be some who won't) and if there is any sort of selection process that thins those numbers.
