We'd very much appreciate tri-service feedback to highlight the issues people are having with the new Defence Recruiting System (DRS) since it launched on Monday 13th November.
So far, most of the problems highlighted to the contracted company are from an AFCO angle, but it is appreciated it maybe equally as frustrating from an applicant's perspective and are also pretty certain we are potentially losing dozens, if not hundreds of applicants on a tri-service basis due to the software issues.
For those having snags, applying to join any arm of the UK Armed Forces, regular, reserve or auxilliary, please contribute to this thread, explaining your issues and a timeline of delays to date so that they can be fed back to the contracted software company.
The far from ideal solution in the interim, is talk to your local AFCO also as many are now manually processing applications - bearing in mind most are closed between 22nd December and 02 January.
For those wishing to apply to join the UK Armed Forces on or after 13 November 2017, please add your experience to this thread, good or bad.
Many thanks.
