Jamaica's military is organised as a single defence force - there is no separate army, navy, air force, etc.

That being said, the prerequisites listed by the Jamaica Defence Force are as follows:

  • Citizen of Jamaica
  • 17 to 23 years of age (17 years old requires parental consent
  • Medically fit by JDF standard
  • Minimum height of 170 centimetres (5 ft., 7 in.)
  • May be rendered ineligible for service by prior criminal convictions

Educational standards for enlisted personnel are Grade 9 Standard, and for commissioned officers, two GCE 'A' level and five CAPE or GCE 'O' level subjects, including Mathematics and English Languag.

Additionally, applicants for a commission must pass the Officer Selection Board.

If you live in Jamaica what subject do you need to study to become a veterinarian?

Jamaica's requirements for veterinary education are similar to those in countries around the world - you would need to attend a school of veterinary medicine and complete the full curriculum. This will cover anatomy, physiology, pathology, epidemiology, pharmacology, molecular biology, technical skills and communications at a minimum.


What are the educational requirements do you need to be a sergeant in the army I would also like to know the educational requirements to be a specialistThanks?

You don't go straight into the Army as a Sergeant - you get there after putting in your time and working your way up the ranks. All you need is a HS diploma (which you need to enlist, anyhow), but having additional education under your belt helps when it comes time to assess points in front of the promotion board.

What requirements do you need to have to get into the Irish Army?

That depends on different things. There are different levels you can go in on, and they would have different requirements. A recruit level applicant can go in with little educational requirements, but will still have to tests, including medical and fitness and get other clearances. There is an upper level of 24 for recruit level applicants. Cadets need to have at least second level qualifications if they are school leavers, so a good Leaving Cert is required. For those that have third level qualifications they need to have an Honours Degree in their discipline. An upper age limit of 27 applies. Apprentices need Junior Cert qualifications as a minimum. These are just a broad overview, and just for the army. Other parts of the defence forces would have their own requirements. For more on the army requirements, see the link below.


Are there academic requirements for enlistments?

Officially to enlist in the US army you need to have a HS diploma or GED. Being as they need soldiers I imagine they work around that though I cant say for certain.
