Im brit, would that mean that I could join the armed forces of the commonwealth countries?

I saw some Canadians from the RCN onboard HMS Invincible and we had some Canadian pilots in the falklands war.

There was also an aussie soldier in the SAS story Bravo Two Zero.

I wonder if I could join the Canadian armed forces, or the Aussies or New Zealands etc.

Bit like a world armed forces huh? Pretty cool.. Imagine if we combined all these countries forces, something to be reconed with.

You can join the Australian Airforce, as long as within 90 days of joining you apply for citizenship.. and meet various citizenship requirements.

I know Australia recruited many of the New Zealand pilots after New Zealand dispanded their fighter and strike aircraft Squadrons.

There was an aussie in bravo two zero (he was a new zealander actually) because australia and new zealand have thier own SAS.

Well if they were from the RCN then they weren't part of the British Navy now were they. Commonwealth nations often train together, as do NATO countries. We get British, German, American, and French pilots training here in Canada all the time, doesn't make them part of our Military, although we could use their planes(our damn CF-18 are falling out of the sky).

Oh, and you have to be a Canadian Citizen to join the Canadian Armed Forces.

Why would they go there if your planes are falling outta the sky ? Sounds like they send the people that want to die over there.

The guy in the Falklands fought there under the RN.

He was probably part of an exchange program. My dad was 38 yrs in the Canadian Navy, and we were transferred to Virginia for a few years. My dad worked at the Chesapeake Bay Naval Base essentially as an American soldier. He answered to American superior officers, and those of lower rank had to treat him like an American NCO(he was a Cheif Petty Officer at that time). So those Canadian soldiers that you saw on the ship, and in the Falklands were probably part of a similar thing. They are essentially part of the foreign nations military for the period that they are stationed there, even though they are still Canadian Armed Forces Personnel.

PS: The US sent a soldier up to work with the Canadian Navy while my dad was there.
