Joining the Army from college

Hi, you can apply to join the army at any time and you can drive (to an extent) how quickly you go through the process. Some applications can be as quick as 4 months whilst others take 14 months as there may be hold ups in areas (medical is a big one). If you apply now and you have no dramas and whiz through interviews, assessment centre etc it might be that you'd have to defer anyway depending on which part of the army you'd want to join (ie dog handlers always has a wait!). Definitely better to get the ball rolling than to wait until you've nearly finished college and then find yourself waiting around for a few months. You will be given your own Candidate Support Manager and they are there to help you with every stage of your application and will also advise along the way. You can let them know early on when you'd look to actually start and they can help you with getting to that date. I wish you the very best of luck.
