I will hopefully be joining as an officer, and I cannot decide what to specialise in. Currently I am thinking either RMP, Medical Corps or Intelligence. I would like to be deployed and be close to combat in my career. Which of these (or any other role not mentioned) will let me see/involve combat?
Hello. If you want to get closest to an infantry role and any potential combat then why not try to join an infantry or other combat unit? You don't actually have to make the decision till you get partway though officer training at Sandhurst where you will have the chance to visit a few different regiments before making your preference. I say preference because what units you will be offered will also depend on your own performance during training. Hopefully one of the officers on this platform may be able to give you more insight.
