Additional Requirements
Other Ranks (Non Technical)
In addition to being able to pass the Army swim test, applicants must be capable of passing the Maritime swim test, which involves swimming 100 metres (using any stroke) whilst wearing DPCU and boots and (without leaving the water) remain afloat out of depth for 5 minutes.
Applicants do not require a civilian licence to undertake the Defence driver component of their training. However, if the applicant is currently under a suspension or has their civilian licence cancelled, that applicant is not eligible to enlist within this trade until that suspension or cancellation has expired.
