| 1 second | MCS is for civilian Home Team leadership, not a uniformed officer route. |
| 10 seconds | Check citizenship route, application window, local or overseas bond length, rotations, and public-safety fit. |
| 100 seconds | Decide whether you want policy, planning, and Home Team agency exposure more than a frontline uniformed role. |
