about my hair.
I keep my hair long on top and shaved on sides in memory of my great-grandmother, who died in the Shoah after being forced to shave. This is identity, not fashion. I will give everything to the Army, but not cut this. Can it be accepted?

Tattoo Policy
Hi there! Just looking for clarification on tattoo policy. I have a tattoo on my neck but it is behind the ear line and doesn't encroach on the front of the throat. Also not visible on a passport picture. It is however, above the collar line. Will I have to get this removed before applying?. Cheers.

Joining Reserves for specific role
Hi Claire, I'm interested in joining the reserves, preferably doing a role such as a Metalsmith / Mechanic / something similar. Is it likely I can specify this, and how does the process of assigning or requesting roles work? Thanks

Couple questions about the Tank Crew role.
Once you complete the initial training and Dorset training (step 1&2) what would the normal day to day activities be?
Are you constrained to a location after the training? If so, where would that be?

why can't i join if i have minor nasal polyps and eczema
Hi (i don't know where else to put this)
i applied and got rejected for the army a while ago but i am still really interested in joining. the medical conditions that got pulled up are not bad at all and trying to get a proper check up from my gp was difficult and it never happened.
i am wondering if there is anything i can do to be able to join or if i can get a check up with a military doctor who can do it properly, it has been a life goal of mine to join the army and i was extremely disappointed when i got rejected.
the email i used for my recruitment thing was ted@c-s-b-s.co.uk

I'd like to enlist as a surgeon in the military (please see the extra information)
As I write this question, I am a 16 year old studying A level Biology, Chemistry and Law. I am interested in joining the military to serve my country in addition to being able to travel around the world to help civillians who have been injured as a result of war or other natural disasters.
My queries relate to how would I get this sort of position? Do i enlist when i finish my A levels and go from there?
