How long does it take to be recruited as an infantry soldier when the application has been submitted?

James A.

Reconnaissance Platoon soldier

Hi Gibson, thank you for your question.

The process will depend on a lot of moving parts

The next stage for yourself will be a call from your local Armed forces careers office to invite you in for your army brief which will give you an overview of jobs, the medical process, Assessment centre and an insight in to basic training followed by questions.
Once this has been done it’s then up to your doctor and how fast they return the required medical documents.

I have seen the whole process take from 10 weeks right up to 6 months.

Hope this helps
