    Thanks for the response Tac, but I was referring to the officer commissioning course at RMA Sandhurst, as per the thread title.

    Fascinating to see percentages on the failure rates for RM Officer applicants. Cheers for that tac.

    It would be interesting to see the applicant rejection rates pre-recession and pre/post Iraq (round two)/Afghanistan although I imagine that the lympstone drop-out rate would be roughly equivalent.

    On a slightly related note, has anyone watched that documentary series that was on BBC iplayer a while back with that report (can't think of his name right now) that did the enlisted course with recruits? Even the enlisted ranks course seemed to have a fairly high drop-out rate.

    Ah, I was really responding to post #48 - sorry for any confusion.

    However, the educational requirements are still there, as are the requirements to be British/Dual with residency.

    I am Irish born and bred and am in the interview process at the moment (no dual nationality required).

    I'm currently going through the process. Have been awaiting a medical appeal for the last 8 weeks. I called yesterday for the 3rd time and they told me they'd fast track my appeal which is good to hear.

    When is your interview?

    Not yet. I failed the incredibly poorly designed online medical questionnaire so had to appeal. Been waiting about 2 months to hear from them but they said I should know tomorrow or Tuesday. I'm expecting it to be approved anyway.

    How was the interview or have you done it yet?
