Armed Forces Mentoring (AFM) helps you prepare for UK military service with guidance, structure, and support.
Whether you're applying to join the Royal Navy, British Army, or Royal Air Force, AFM helps you build the mindset, fitness, and confidence to succeed through every stage of recruitment & training. 

The UK military recruitment system is complex and slow.

Right now, the average timeline from application to Day One of Basic Training is:
• Army – 𝟮𝟰𝟵 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀
• Royal Navy/Marines – 𝟮𝟳𝟵 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀
• Royal Air Force – 𝟯𝟬𝟭 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀

We can't speed up the system - but 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗬 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲.


AFM exists to reduce dropouts from the recruitment pipeline, boost confidence, and prepare individuals for the realities of military life through targeted mentoring, insider knowledge, tailored resources, and fitness support.

With over 23 years of lived military experience across the Royal Navy and British Army, AFM delivers expert, experience-based guidance to help aspiring recruits and serving personnel reach their full potential.

Whether you're preparing to join or planning your next steps inside the Forces, we offer personalised support every step of the way.
