hey guys so this is the best time to call your friends who are in UK your family member or any person that you know is in UK and suit talk them to host you okay on today's video I'm going to be talking about how you can join uh the British Army and they will be opening up uh soon from uh 19th to 25th of August 2024 for commonwealth countries where Kenyans um Kenyans ugandans and also other other commonwealth countries lies okay but you need a host okay you need a host for you to qualify for this program okay so if you have a family member if you have a friend who is in UK this is the best time to call them okay W gear call them ask them if they can host you tell them to host you okay give them a reason why they should host you I know it's not uh easy to host someone especially in foreign country but I'm sure if you talk to them in a way that you'll give them reason to host you they may push a little bit for you okay maybe you don't have friends maybe you don't have relatives maybe you don't have family members who are in the UK you can also look for other people who are in UK okay nowadays social media has has made it easy for us to reach out to people and uh you can try that okay but again you have to be very careful I'm sure there are people who normally ask for money like if you want me to give you my information so that I can host you you need to pay me this amount of money you have to also be very careful I would suggest that if you have to pay someone let it be your friend or a family member someone that you know will not scam you okay though we have family members and and also friends who can scam you but you have to be very careful though this is the right time for you to do that and if you normally watch my videos and you're in UK and you're eligible to host someone you can reach out to me and uh maybe you can host one person because I'm sure there are so many people who will be applying and they have zero contact in UK anyways so let's get into today's video as I've told you from 19th to 25th of August 2024 uh uh the website will be open for commonwealth countries to do their applications and uh the application will be limited I know it has I know uh this program has been there this program has been there for a very long time last year so many people applied some of them are already in the UK they have already they have already joined the British army some are in the process so it's a legit thing okay it's a legit thing all you need to do is prepare your document your high school certificate or other documents that are required for this process and the reason why I'm saying you need to find a host first it's because that's it you need how you need a host for you to qualify for this program and uh you will need some information from your host uh to be able to apply okay you will need some information from your host like their name their post code like their email where they live and remember you don't have to lie because the information will later on be like their information will later on be requested so if you get someone who is going to host you they'll give you their name their their address if if you qualify for the process later on in the process they'll ask you for the info more information from them so they will need to provide you with that information so you have to make sure that this person is a person that will not fail me because at the at the same time we have people when and then they will not give it to you okay uh so guys uh as I've said also the application will be limited for the following um careers if you're Musical musical career you will be eligible for this uh for this application from 19th to 25th of August so if you can play a keyboard you can play a guitar you

explaining to you uh step by step on how you should go about it and um it cost you nothing to try okay you you cannot just uh sit there and wait for things to happen for you for you you have to do something and uh whatever you need to do now is to take the step and uh first register to see if you're eligible to apply for the British army okay so here they get to ask you questions uh you need to be at least 14 years old to continue if you're under 18 you can carry on but you will need concert from your parents or guide Guardian okay so if you're below 18 years you'll need concert from your parents and uh in most cases I don't think there's anyone below 18 who would be like willing to apply for for the British army especially if you're not uh in UK so here I'm just going to say I'm 18 years all over and then then I'll start uh so here they tell you before you you can apply you need to create an account please complete the following form to set up your account once this is set up you'll be able to see if you're eligible to join and start your application so here you get to choose for example I can say uh Miss uh so here I'm putting this information for the purpose of um what

so much related to you like this favorite sport favorite color your mother's middle name so I'll go with that okay and then I'll write my mom's midd name okay so here they ask are you currently living living in UK the answer is no I'm not in UK uh preferred method of contact is email this text message I'll prefer email uh here they ask for your number so we got to go down and check the we need to
