You have to have lived in the UK for 5 years and become a British citizen. At the moment as far as I know they have been discussing about letting the Polish sign up, but for now you have to get citizenship to apply.

Royal forces - British citizenship, you haven't achieve it yet so c'est la vie

or

French Foreign Legion - contact with obligation to serve for certain time, that should suit your needs if you are a military kind man

But if you can wait a year, you should be able to start the application process for citizenship etc.

In the meantime, why not enquire about the TA?

Foreign legion will take you straight away, no questions. asked about nationality or residency forms or background.

Do they really bury people up to their necks in sand?

Not quite sure you get a final salary pension with the FL though :D

Also, you cant join the TA unless you are British Citizen.

I didn't know that. It's a shame really.

Trix, how old are you? If you're under a certain age, or a University student, there may be some more options.

The TA has the same rules as the regular army, since they are both employed by the MoD.

There should be something for non-citizens who come from friendly countries.They'd have to swear allegiance to the Crown, but it isn't a problem for the police, who are recruiting Poles.

This might give you some idea.

If you do have an interest in The French Foreign legion, you can write to them for information. They'll send you brochures and an idea of pay (seriously, I did it once). Trouble is that it is a fixed 5 year service.
