thanks for replies

also after spending however long you want to in the paras is it possible to become a heli pilot in 16aa and if so how would you do this. i just want to experience more than 1 thing in the army and i would like to train as a pilot one day

i may have this completely wrong but if you want to go para do you have to go to an ATR for basic or do you do your basic at catterick.

ok, thanks, how do you get into the AFC anyway, do you just go down to AFCO and say it, also how old do you need to be before you start the application process thanks

which route would be best to go for the infantry,(faster promotion, better training etc), out of AFC harrogate, ATR bassingbourn as a junior entrant or joining as an adult in a normal ATR. can you join the paras straight after phase 1 and also are the para's part of 16 air assault brigade. thanks ...

sorry greenronnie you must have posted wen i was typing. please could you explain what those things are (im only 15 and iv only been in the acf about 2 months so i dont know what most of the abbreviations are) thanks.

UK or anywhere. is that the age limit for soldiers on the frontline? would they just go on ex where they are based or would they go to the country there regiment is fighting in but not actually go on the frontline?
