I'm currently In the TA and college now myself. The priorities have been getting to me as I have many of time put the TA before college work. It's finding the balance of the both. But it is good to be getting this experience while I'm young and it's a nice schedule to have at this age, as I am really enjoying it.

Go for it mate.

excuse spellig on the last post, sorry

Nuff said

Strange thing is i got an English A-Level.On second thoughts yes it does affect your grades. And they say the exams aren't getting easier.

TA should be fine while at 6th Form.

I wasn't in the TA until I joined Uni but while I was in 6th form I did 4 A levels, ATC, had part time job (15hrs a week), and played rugby quite seriously.

It didn't seem to affect my studies, sometimes though I saw time when I was not doing anything to do bugger all and not get my school work done. Be organised and do everything you want well and employers/universities will(should) be more attracted to you.

What are you doing? A Level Pidgin? GNVQ Illiteracy Studies? F*** me, if ever there were an advert for less time down the drill hall and more time studying...

Where has my post gone? Similiar comment to Clownbasher.

Robbo9 has obvioulsy not spent enough time down the drill hall - his other thread is asking advice on what to take away for his first TA field weekend. Nothing like the voice of experience when giving advice, eh?
