OZ joinig the paras?

Post by chriszg_oz »

G'day mates! I'm knew to the forum so just to introduce myself. My name's Chris, 23 years old and currently an OZ student living in Croatia. Have a few questions about joining the paras: 1) Do I have to meet any special requirements or regulations since I'm OZ ( like having a UK sponsor or residence) 2) What documents do I need? 3) How long does it take for me to sign up, do the medical and start selection? 4) When's selection?
I've been to the British Embassy in Croatia but I didn't get any specific info about joining. I can't even recieve the info pack. Any help or advice is welcome. Cheers mates! :)

Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm not only interested in the Paras but also the army in general. Thanks
