Does serving in an another country (Finnish Defence Force) affect anything when joining up?

I have lived in England my whole life and I am of half Finnish nationality so I took a year out of university to take part in conscription. I am ending my 1 year service in June. And have enjoyed my time here and I was wondering about how it works with joining up back in England.

    Hi Tommi,

    As long as you have British Citizenship, there should be no issues whatsoever and your prior experience will be a huge help to both you and us! I would wait until June to begin your application as certain aspects will require you to attend in person such as the assessment centre and gaining medical records. Our team will guide you through the process as soon as you apply.
