What it takes to get in

Profile 25 and above, Dapar 70 and above, and a successful pre-military selection. Not open to men designated for combat.

Training

Basic training 02, then about two months of a spokesperson-professions course covering communications, lectures from senior professionals, simulations and drills, plus attachments to different desks in the unit and specific training for running social media.

Where you serve

The unit's base at Camp Aviv, or the headquarters of the Navy or Air Force at the Kirya.

What it is worth afterwards

Broad knowledge of communications and spokesperson work that's useful in civilian life too.
