I wouldn't see why not, it's a job and you'll be getting paid so it's a way to pay it off.

They most likely just ask the questions...

Think you're best off asking them. They may do a credit check or a history check?

Exactly, if you don't know then just ask them. They are the ones who can give you an accurate answer.

I'm not sure how much you get paid in the British Armed Forces but the U.S. pays like shit, but i didn't mind.

You just pay it off slowly or pay it off all at once.

I am not 100% sure on this as of 2017, but for the U.S. at least, if you are somewhere in the 30-50% debt range of what you would make monthly, you could be ineligible..

Your best bet as others mentioned do ask.
