Will you be joining as an officer then after your stint in the Royal Military College? Not a bad job at all if thats your sort of thing.
Its something I regret not doing myself. I went to the careers office literally the day we left school but never went through with it in the end. I was looking at the Royal Marines and later after id done some uni work the Army Officers. Ive other things in life to do now so will probably never join the regulars. Do it while you have the time!
Ive done quite a few courses all for fun really. Maths and Photography A levels, City and Guilds in PC repair and maintenance, MOCN in Archaeology and Basic Archaeological Techniques and 4 Open Univeristy qualifications...Certificate Natural Sciences, Certificate Astronomy and Physical Science, a Diploma in Physical Science and im half way through a Diploma in Maths.
Ive no intention on using any of them, im only happy doing oddjobs and groundswork.
