Currently im pretty much as close to a bum as you can be, i work part time at Morrisons and pretty much wasting my life/intelligence. Ive done my A levels - got 3 C`s. In my GCSE's i got 9 A-C, im really considering going into the British Army, I was wondering if anybody on here has served time in the army,, what it was like? whether or not you would advise other people to join up.
Im not thinking of going into a combat style job, these days there are soooo many different job roles i think it would be a waste to go into the basic infantry. I was thinking more along the lines of aircraft engineering or maybe a military engineer, does anybody know somebody with a similar role?
much appreciated

Jamie do a search mate this has been covered a few times over the years, but as you say if you join get a trade.

megatron

Jamie, you sir are no bum, you are in current employ (no matter the level), which in my book makes you immideatly better than half the country.

As Harry wisely says a trade is garunteed work and money for life. All the best with whatever you decide to do.

I think with your qualifications they'll be trying toi get you to join as a higher rank, an officer, Id ultimatley look for something that you can apply in civvy street once you leave, but there are soem cracking jobs in the forces these days, there is a bloke on here who is a recruiter for the army, he outlined the pension and benefits they get, and tbh, its one of the best going, but only if you serve the full 22 years I think.

Royal Engineers or maybe something in the RAF?

As he says mate get something out the army, engineers is as good a trade as any, don't enlist as a rupert though (officer) anyway go take your barb test see what you pass for then post back here, sure me and stu can advise you on what rade is better.
