Following reporting in the media yesterday, there is further coverage today looking at the recruitment process in the Army and Royal Navy. This includes articles in The Times and The Telegraph. 

An MOD spokesperson said: 

The increase in the demand to join the Armed Forces is to be welcomed and our recruitment campaigns are inspiring thousands of people to apply. The Services are working hard to streamline the recruiting process so men and women who meet our world class standards can start their training as soon as possible.
