Also, is there anything in particular I need to bring to the recruitment office?

[JayBounty]

@AdamMcneil92 On your first time in, you just need to fill out a form, so just take your basics like N.I number etc. but it doesn't have to be completed there and then, you can take him home and bring it back

[AdamMcneil92]

@JayBounty What about stuff like passports, education certificates, character reference letters and medical certificates?

BTW i'm currently overseas so it might take a few weeks to get that stuff sorted out.

[JayBounty]

@AdamMcneil92 You get asked to bring in certificates and references as part of the application. You do a medical history check after completing your BARB. If you're overseas (foreign) you will need a valid British passport to join

[AdamMcneil92]

And my passport also needs renewing

[AdamMcneil92]

@JayBounty I'm a british citizen but i've lived overseas most of my life, so I don't have a british person to give me a character reference. What should I do?

And also, is a printed letter ok or does it need to be handwritten?

[AdamMcneil92]

@JayBounty I haven't been hoing to the gym 4 days a week for the last year for nothing, mostly weightlifting so running could use some work.

[JayBounty]

@AdamMcneil92 That's a good choice, but you need to be REALLY fit for that

[AdamMcneil92]

@JayBounty I'm intrested in the paratroopers. But I think I'll have a better idea once I start the whole process.

[JayBounty]

@AdamMcneil92 They have a lot of intake for infantry, more than any other job in fact. Just make sure you do your best in all of your jobs to get pushed in front of everyone in the que.
