1936 served as an volunteer, the major question is for long you serve?
I think, the man has the Abitur and he will become an Officer and sign for 4 Jahre. After six months of basic training as an Flieger he will be promoted to an GefreiterOA (Offiziersbewerber) Her goes to the Luftkriegsschule mybe in Berlin-Gatow, became an Fahnenjunker after another six months. Then, when his Instructors and Teachers mean, its time, he became Fähnrich-Oberfähnrich and at least Leutnant. After his servicetime for 4 Jahre he leave the Luftwaffe and became a member of the Offiziersreserve der Luftwaffe. This officers shown a small blue band inside the rankcollarpatch together with the yellow, red, or what ever branchcollar.
During the war the Luftwaffe use the "Kriegsreserveoffiziersbewerber" systems. It's different in many details.
