Im a South African living in London. I have a one year working, one year holiday VISA and am interested in joining the British army. I have heard that as long as you have at least 6 months left on your VISA you can sign up. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on this topic. I am interested in working for military forces in a peace keeping capacity. I also have some experience in Psychology, although limited, and would love to do something helpful in war time situations. If anyone knows of some opportunities available for a Saffa, with 1 year working, 1 year holiday VISA, PLEASE let me know.

Why not ask them direct?
Although I was living in Nepal and a Nepali friend of mine tried out for the British army there, so you clearly don't necessarilly need to be a British citizen

many soldiers are dieing of cancer from biological weapons and uranium missiles that are used in iraq and they talk about WMD'S???,our governments are run by world banks at the very top, intern the thousands of multi trillion and billionaires that own thse banks and have there fingers in everything are part of centurys old secret societys that worship lucifer and want to reduce the worlds population by 80% ,tens of millions realise what is happening but sadly billions dont.our brave soldiers thinking they are fighting for there country's are being used as a tool for world domination ,this is a very vast subject and from the outside if not researched can seem kind of speculative but in reality is all in plain view.
click on this link http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=786048453686176230&q=terrorstorm its a link to a docu/film called Terrorstorm:a history of government sponsored terrorism .millions have seen this film and realise what is happening .this documentary is being sold as a dvd on the amazon site and is in the top 100 in the states yet is free to watch on google video hense the link ,its about getting the info out to the people .
when you were saying you want to do peace keeping dont fool ya self .any way just saying see things from all sides before you commit to something like that .good luck in whatever you do laters.

Believe it or not, they don't take Southies in the British army or allied forces. Due to your inherent tendencies to racism.

watch out. there'e a bill been passed recently in SA that prohibits SA nationals returning home if they have been on operational tour with uk forces. in their eyes you become mercenaries and are obliged to give up your passport. not a problem if you want to stay in uk.
