    Hi Ryan, Yes the National Recruiting Centre will pay for your travel to assessment centre when you attend.
    If however you mean your nearest Army Careers Centre, you would have to phone them to ask if they provide that service.
    Thank you for your question.

    Hi Ryan, I believe your nearest Recruiting Office is in York, their phone number is 01904 623653, give them a ring with your specific questions and see if they can assist.
    Thank you for your question.

    I joined the Welsh Guards (Infantry) in 1986 and completed 24 years service, I finished at the rank of WO1. I have been in 3 Royal Welsh (Infantry) since.
    Rifles is a really good choice, you will have a full brief once you go for your first visit to the Careers Office.

    can you join the army reserves if you take propranal or lansoprazole? also when it says to be enlisted before your 36th birthday does that mean apply by then or complete your assessment day by then?
