Finley,
The physical standards required can be found under 'Entry requirements' on the Paratrooper job page (linked below). Once you can do these, you're ready to apply. However, as I'm sure you're aware, being a Paratrooper is physically demanding, so do continue to develop your fitness.
Hi Steven,
Thank you for answering my question, also how long can the application process take?
Finley,
The application process varies based on individual circumstances and course availabilities. It normally takes a couple of months or in some cases up to a year.
Is that the same for the reserves timelime?
I'm not sure about the Reserves application times, it's worth having a look at your local unit details and getting in touch with them: they'll be able to offer more specific advice. You can find your local unit's details using the link below.
