I am starting an application for Army officer. I am from the Wirral and have been told by some people that I have a scouse accent. I don't have a thick accent, but admitedly I do have an accent, as do the whole population. I have a friend who used to be an RAF officer and he has told me that I would not be likely to pass selection as an Army officer because of my accent.

In peoples experience, is there any truth in this? Or is my friend exagerating?

Hey there im also starting to apply for army officer.. got my briefing interview in 2 weeks.. I really dont think ur accent would matter

they select you on youur leadership potential and all the other criteria the set out ie educational qualifications, acievements, knowledge on army , current affairs .. my opinion is i dont think you need to worry dude just concentrate on what they have asked you to do

Besides lol im sure everone in the army who is an officer doesnt always speak like they have gone to ETON ...

Good Luck

There is 1 scouse officer in 3 para, and 1 that left recently.

So unless you are trying to join the Cavalry or Guards, i dont think you will have too much of a problem.

Rest assured there will be absolutely no problem with your accent
or with the type of school that you were educated at. Don't listen to
anyone who tells you otherwise and good luck.

Is there hope for me yet then, Chas

thats quite possibly some of the worst scouse ive ever come accross Harry. Funny though!
The guards is one of the branches i was considering. Would that be a no no with an accent?

Seriously, I would imagine Guards Units would remain the domain of the so-called upper classes as far as Officers go, for some time to come.

And Fodd is obviously taking the pish.
Seeing as how he`s from the WIRRAL

me take the pish mate never!!!

Thanks harry.

Theres nowt wrong with being from the wirral. However I work in liverpool amongst the lesser desirables and it has certainly made me thankfull for my parents my family and the standards, morals and values i was brought up with.
