    Hello Ethan,


    That's quite a large range of job roles! You'll be able to put multiple role choices in your application form, so don't worry too much about settling on just one role: having other options that you'd happily join as are actually an advantage.


    Note that we don't have 'fighter pilots', in the Army, we have 'Officer Pilots, who fly and command military helicopters.


    You won't be able to join directly into the SAS or as a Sniper: To apply to join the SAS you need to already be serving in any role. To become a sniper, you'll first need to join the Infantry.


    When it comes to deciding what your first option is going to be, think about why you want to join and what role aligns most with that reason. You should aim to go into your interview with an in-depth knowledge about your chosen role: researching the roles will not only help you reach a decision on what your first choice should be, it will show your interviewer that you're making an informed decision about a job that you're passionate about.


    Good luck with your future application!
