Deferred entry for training contracts is possible and for some firms they see people commit to things like post-graduate studies and have to defer their TC start date by 12 months. 18 months maybe more difficult, although not impossible for firms with two intakes per year.Ultimately if you know you are going to have to take 18 months out though, it maybe better to factor this into your timeline of when you would need to apply. I know it would be more reassuring to try and find something ahead of your military service, but with a potential 42 month gap (assuming you would need to do the GDL and SQE as well), you may find it easier applying this time next year rather than in this cycle. Speak to the firms you want to apply to though and get their thoughts on this.</blockquote>
