Can you choose a specific year to join if I wanted to guarantee a place on a course before going on a gap year?

    You can defer to join the army although it will depend on what you want to join. If you were looking to join as an officer because there are only 3 courses a year you could defer for (i think!) 5 years after you've passed the Army Officer Selection Board (AOSB). The army is very flexible as people may have a change in circumstance such as breaking / injuring themself, change in family circumstance, choose to spend longer in education etc etc. I hope this helps.
