Joining RMR prior to Young Officer Selection

[willfarquhar96]

Hi

Made an account specifically to get some answers which im not sure afco would be able to help with. I'm 16 in October and considering joining RMR while going through my young officer application. I've read before that a large portion of some YO batches are made up of lads who have already earned their beret in RMR, and was wondering whether anyone can shed some light on whether this is true, and is it a good idea to join RMR first?

Thanks in advance.

Will
