Can I join the army even when my residency in the UK is not upto 5 years?

Oluwanifemi A. asked a question to Claire W.

What’s the best way to stay prepared for the Army at my age? I train each morning and watch army documentaries to learn more. I’m interested in infantry and just want to stay on track.

    You can apply as soon as your residency is at the 5 year mark to the day.


    At your age? unsure of your age, having said that, all between the ages of 16 -35 should be training via the Army fit App as a minimum. Worth a download via the app store if you are looking for helpful tips.


    Also dependent on what role you desire I'd recommend researching it as much as possible. this will put you in good stand in the interview when you know what you are talking about, it shows you care.
