Hi there,
Currently looking at my military options and exploring different avenues within the Army. At this point I am awaiting my medical for the RMR, due to my age (24) I don't believe I will be eligible for RM Officer as they only have one intake a year and they have stopped recruiting for the 2021 start date.
I have been exploring Army Officer careers and have a few questions that I was hoping you could help me with.
1).What are the dates for each intake, I have read there're three a year and I'm fairly confident in saying one is January?
2).Assuming one makes it through Sandhurst, when receiving offers from regiments will you be offered specific roles or do you just get a standard offer and then your role is sorted once with the reg. As an example, 1 rifles may offer me a light Infantry leader role where as Yorkshire a Armored infantry leader role so i would then choose which one I want to pursue?
3).I'll be the first to admit my essay writing isn't exactly top quality but I can get the job done, how highly does this factor into your overall score at Sandhurst in regards to being top of the troop etc. For someone who wants to be more front line orientated essay writing wouldn't be a top priority compared to someone in logistics?
4).Once you are with a regiment can you apply to another regiment should you wish to or is it more that you are set to stay with them through your career?
Thank you for any information given in advance.
