I recently sat my FATs , and have been offered to attend AIB for observer.
I have a couple of questions about the role that I cannot find answered on the internet so far - so if anybody ‘in the know’ could advise me it would be much appreciated.
1) cliche, but what does a general...
Did anyone else's clearance take an age to come through? It's been 6 months and counting for mine....Any tips, either on the forum or through PM (i.e. contact details of people I can respectfully prod for an update) would be much appreciated. The main UKSV contact email leads nowhere.

Does anyone know how long it takes for a position to open for a commonwealth citizen wanting to join the Royal Marines. They are full already and the Royal Marines is a fast tracked role . How long will it take before I’m able to apply and is there a waiting list ?
Hey everyone,
I was hoping to find out if there's any way to contact the Royal Navy Medical Service via Email or Phone. I'm trying to go higher up with my medical appeal rather than be told "They don't advice it".Just for reference,

Morning everyone,
Just a quick question to ask anyone who's been through the process, I was told about 2 weeks ago that I could not pursue my role as an Observer as I had a history of asthma. Even though I was quite gutted, I am still very motivated to join the RN and just was asking about...

1) SIFT interview
2) FATs (Observer Role)
3) PJFT
4) Medical Exam
5) OCD in AprilI only as I...
Hello all,
I'm currently trying to decide between an Officer Observer role and an Aircrewmen role and was hoping for just a rough idea of what would probably be best suited. I am currently in the application process for an Observer role and only have my AIB left with my OCD coming up in April...

I was going to apply to be an Aircrew Officer Pilot but I realised I fall just outside the age requirement on the website (max age 26 when my 27th birthday was last month).Is this a hard and fast rule or is there some wiggle room?
