Application form?

Post by RC450 »

My application form arrived last week, its almost complete. Would I be right in saying, once its complete I contact my AFCO and bring them the application in person? While I am there, this would be the time I take the BARB test?

Cheers.

Yeah ... there are 2 ...

The first one is, as MSI64 says, an "Show of interest" application form from the online application section.

If they like what they see on there, you'll get the proper application form .... and it's massive! I started to go blind while filling mine in ... had to do it in stages, over a few days! :o

EDIT : Forgot to say, that was for the TA. Not sure if it's the same for the Regulars.

Hello cheers for the reply's. I have two application forms, one of them has "Her Majesty's armed forces application to serve" and the other one is more related to a soldier application. Also included is a BARB booklet to fill out. I've had to fill out a lot of info and they want me to supply passport, birth certs, education certificates etc. I've emailed them, no reply and the phone was engaged today. I'll try again tomorrow.

This must be the main application form?

Hello mate ,You can hand in your application in person or post it . I sugest you contact your AFCO in person if you're living in the UK or call them (oversea applicant)

Cheeks folks, I finally got through. I've been given a date for initial interview and BARB test, looking forward to it.
