This question was answered on 21st September 2020
Interest in the Armed Forces has been strong over the last recruiting year with 2019-20 seeing intake increase by 31%.
Recruitment campaigns and the advertising that accompanies them continues as planned. There is a Covid-related reduction in basic training capacity but all three Services are looking to work around this. Most notably, we’ve seen sailors passing out alongside their officers at BRNC Dartmouth last month.
