University officers training corps – quick questions?

AlexK asked:

Hi ive got a couple of questions regarding the british army, officer training corps.

Firstly, does experience in the OTC improve your chances of joining the armed forces after university, such as the royal marines, or the regular army?

Secondly, what is involved in the selection process of joining the OTC, is it as difficult as the AOSB in the army (or for the royal marines, the POC and AIB).

Also is anyone here in the University Officer Training Corps? What’s your oppinion of it?

Cheers!!!!
