Questions
Is COMSUBIN or NOCS harder to get into?
The two tests have no directly comparable events, so the minimums cannot be ranked against each other. These are only the published fitness minimums; selection itself, medical and other requirements differ, and passing the minimum does not guarantee selection.
How do the COMSUBIN and NOCS fitness tests differ?
COMSUBIN: 4 events (swim 25, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups). NOCS: 4 events (run 5k, sprint 100, high jump, long jump).
Does COMSUBIN or NOCS pay more?
COMSUBIN: €3,067/month (Capo di 2ª classe (= Maresciallo Ordinario, parametro 131,00) · standard); NOCS: €2,709/month (Assistente (parametro 112,00) · standard) (default scenarios, gross). The default scenarios use different ranks and seniority, so this is not a like-for-like comparison — set the same rank in the pay calculator on each unit page.
