I would ideally like to join for the shortest length of time possible.
Also, what are the minimum requirements for asthma and eyesight? Since my eyesight is pretty bad, I suspect I would have to have laser eye surgery to be accepted. The UK military have a policy that you must be able to shoot to a certain accuracy at 100 meters. I only have slight asthma, and the UK military will accept you if you have not been on any medication for the last 6 years (on the day of your joining).
