Medical royal navy cadetship

Hi I have just finished my GCSE and am onto A levels. I have always thought about joining the navy or marines/army and was wondering what the process would be like of "15 weeks’ Initial Naval Training (Officer) at Britannia Royal Naval College (BRNC) and begin your career. You’ll be committed to a minimum of six years’ service. But that time will be packed with travel, new experiences and continuous development."
I am a marine cadet and feel it might be a really exciting career but was wondering if anyone who had experienced it could give me there experience.
thanks

Joining the navy or marines through the **15-week Initial Naval Training (Officer) at BRNC** is challenging but rewarding. The training focuses on discipline, leadership, physical fitness, and specialized naval skills. You’ll start with the basics, move into leadership roles, and finish with specialized training for your chosen branch.
Former trainees emphasize the importance of adaptability, resilience, and mental toughness. The training is tough, but it builds strong camaraderie and a sense of accomplishment. After BRNC, you’ll begin a career filled with travel, new experiences, and opportunities for advancement within a minimum six-year commitment.

JF ZAK is a young teen and has never served in the Royal Navy; the response is a cut-and-paste.

You have picked 3 different services in the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and British Army; what roles are you interested in?

Also, there are a lot of stages to go through before initial training. Have you checked your medical records to see if there is anything that could potentially delay or stop your application? If you are interested in being a commissioned officer, what activities have you done to show your leadership potential at interview?

If you look on the various Recruitment sites there are fitness programmes available.

@surnia thank you I had suspected that, I have been researching many roles in the forces mostly medical related as I have a family member who looked at that route in the past. I wear glasses which may be the only medical issue and I am fairly active and trying to improve pushups pullups and burpees. I also have a runner friend I try to keep up with to keep my cardio up.
regarding the leadership side I am a marine cadet at sea cadets and last night lead the girls rowing team. I also do different camp activities like creating rafts to race other teams.

Thanks for the advice I will look at those fitness programs you referenced
