Process after paperwork submission

Hi All

I submitted my paperwork, via a colleague who happens to be a recruiter for the TA, on Wednesday 21st October.
I know this whole thing is going to take a while, so that wait is not an issue for me at all.
But, what I'd like to find out, is the process from here onwards.

In essence, what happens next .... :wink:

Can anyone break it down for me into bite sized chunks?

Cheers
SG

Hi,

Probably a medical.
Then you should be able to start doing some training nights.
The recruitment team will have to book you on to centralised recruit training, this can be a few weeks or months depending.

This will be weekend training, I think 6-7 weekends in total, then a two week course Common Military Syllabus Recruits, CMSR.

Varies depending on unit. Can take up to a year to 'get in' or if you're lucky and there are spaces a few months.

Seems the British government has done an about face regarding the TA.
So maybe you can get sorted earlier SG.

Preferred your first avatar or is that sexist and inappropriate?
