"Regular" Training and Officer Training.

[thomasd221]

Hello,

As you can probably tell, I'm quite new to these forums. I am 16 years of age and have just completed my GCSE examinations. I am very interested in IT and computers and always thought I would desire a profession within that sector. I never thought I would be considering the British Army, but life is full of surprises. Anyway, I have been looking at joining as a Regular or Officer, I do have a question about the training process. I will be staying in education until I am 18, at Sixth Form.

How different is the training for an Officer compared to the training for a regular soldier?

I would expect the training to be considerably harder, given the difference in annual salary. But, I am unsure.

I am quite familiar with the training for a regular soldier, but not so much for an Officer.

How much does the training differ? How much harder is it?

My head is in a million different places now haha.

Thanks very much for your time.
Thomas.

Now, just to tell my parents about my potential decision.........
