Joining at 16

[Stelfox]

This has been playing on my mind for a while now so, should I join up at 16 and if I do will I go to a collage first or what, or should I go when I'm 18.

thanks

It all comes down to your situation and prospects. Dont forget the current economic climate too. There is no rush to join up and coming in at 18-20 is a good age so dont dismiss higher education if you get the chance.

Have a read of these sites;

British Army Official Facebook Recruiting FAQ
British Army Official Facebook Army Jobs page

It is worth popping into the local AFCO for a chat.

Good luck

Personally I'd say go for it now......I was 16 and 3 weeks old when I started and my SLR was bigger than me. Loved it.

Thanks for the help I looked it up and now I know more about the army collage, so Now that's cleared up I think I'll be joining next year
