Great video, I am in my third and last year of my university degree and was wondering when would be the best time to make an application to become an army officer and roughly how long is the recruitment process?

[@CareerVidz]

Hi, thanks for your support and it's great to hear you are planning to go via the AOSB route. I would suggest making an application in the last few months of your degree and you can then list your predicted grade. It usually takes a while for the application process to complete, but maybe someone else here can she light on how long it took them while has a more recent experience? I'll be making more Army Officer videos soon and it would really help me out if you could SUBSCRIBE to my channel? I'd very much appreciate your support. Thank you! Richard 🙏

[@rhythmray7429]

Well, I dont know if you'll ever see this, but "Why do you want to join the army", I don't think I can honestly answer that Because since childhood I always wanted to, and I tried back in my home country, but you are only allowed to do so once, I failed. But I really wanted to so I moved to the Uk, maybe I can join over here. And, I think if my paperwork goes through properly I can apply withing next 2 years. It will be difficult to explain the whole patriotism thing simply because its not even been 3 years I have moved here.

@@CareerVidz It will depend entirely on what branch of the Army you choose . Obviously for Infantry / Para / Armoured yes it will involve" fighting " For REME, Int Corps , Signals etc it will be less likely. However that does NOT mean you may not find yourself involved in a Contact or frontline. It happens. It also depends on where you are ie on Deployment or in camp.

[@johnclements9394]

Obviously never heard of CDRILS, interesting given that you portrait to know about selection. Have you ever served? I have and served in afghan twice and trained both phase 1 & 2 as well as held reg and reserve commissions and being an Army Cadet. Much of what you say is good advice and true, although some I’m afraid my friend is untrue & misleading and I question whether you’re advice is to be relied upon given you’re obvious lack of actual military experience. Tell me different?

[@CareerVidz]

What's untrue or misleading?

[@georgerobert4709]

I have to say my first question was had he served. I know the Army have been using civilian recruiters . In my day you went to a recruitment office and were interviewed by a serving soldier who knew what he was talking about and what was required by the Army. Let's face it if you haven't done the job how can you advise others ? You need to walk the walk before you can talk the talk.
