Absolutely. This is possible in all trades within the British Army. If you have the aptitude and want to achieve this, you can. I know of several officers who were soldiers and worked through the ranks to become commissioned officers. It is also possible that as a soldier, early on in your career, you can be identified as having officer potential.
