south african looking to sign up for the royal marines
I am keen to sign up for the royal marines but i am currently living in south africa and i have found that one of the eligibility criteria states that any commonwealth citizen wishing to sign up must have resided in the UK continuously for the previous 5 years. will this prevent me from joining? i have been in south africa for the last 5 years but i did however live in scotland for 8 years from 2003 - 2011. I also have a brother in the royal marines, any help would be appreciated.

Yep, 5 years' residency is a requirement.

You can have peace.
Or you can have freedom.
Don't ever count on having both at once.
