I attempted. Was called in for a PIRT test, which I passed and was then invited to an assesment centre. Before the assesment centre they ran a security check, which for some reason I failed, I aint got a clue why, nor did they tell me and as such, I wasn't allowed any further. All I did was filled in a very long application form and it went from there. The whole process is quite long, I believe it goes PIRT test, security and medical checks, assesment centre, fitness test, final interview, then a few months residential training.
