BOTC have one of six types of British nationality which already makes them eligible to apply to join the British Armed Forces, and they serve as part of the British cohort. As at 1 April 2018 there were 130 BOTC serving in the Regular trained strength of the British Armed Forces.</p><p>However, for security reasons the Armed Forces continue to have UK residency criteria to ensure the appropriate security standards which all applicants are required to meet.

star this property answer text <p>The Armed Forces do not recruit directly in schools. They do engage with schools, at the invitation of Headteachers, in order to increase awareness of the role of the Armed Forces in society and to support delivery of aspects of the curriculum - most notably Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). There is no recruitment process specifically for school leavers. We keep our recruitment processes under review to ensure they are efficient and effective.</p><p>Young people need to be supported with information about the opportunities and options available to them as they reach significant educational milestones, including on reaching school leaving age. This is reflected in the marketing initiatives of the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force. Joining the Armed Forces continues to be an excellent choice for young people today, and they are the UK's largest apprenticeship provider.</p><p>The Ministry of Defence welcomes the Department for Education's Careers Strategy and the greater prominence being given to vocational routes and STEM related careers. The Armed Forces are well placed to support schools in meeting the aims of that strategy and encourage them to contact their local units and Armed Forces Recruiting Offices for support.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The D-Day landings and Normandy Campaign are a significant part of our history and I can confirm that the Ministry of Defence (MOD) will be fully supporting the 75th anniversary, both at home and abroad. Plans are currently at an early stage but we are working closely with The Royal British Legion and other organisations to determine how best to recognise and support the D-Day veterans, whilst commemorating their fallen colleagues. For instance, in June this year a joint announcement between the MOD and The Royal British Legion took place to encourage veterans to register their interest in attending D-Day75 events so that commemorations could be designed around their own wishes. The MOD will unveil more details about D-Day75 via the gov.uk website in due course.</p> more like this

The assessment, calculated according to HM Treasury's Green Book guidelines and by a bottom-up economic analysis of the opportunities in the public and private sectors concluded that significant economic growth could be generated by unlocking UK geospatial resources, including marine data. As the Government's authority for marine geospatial data, the UKHO is working in partnership with the Geospatial Commission to identify options to support economic growth.</p> more like this
