Look the Army is a big step and once your are in you just can't leave when you feel like or if you fall out with your instructors. think carefully and long on just what you want out of life before you sign on.

Schools a completely different environment and your reply doesnt reply help my scenario, i just want to know will the army show me the door for not completing my education

I hope your problem with authority is less pronounced than your problem with the English language. If not, you're screwed.

barnseythereferee,

Where do I begin? You just dismissed advice from a long serving member of the Parachute Regiment as casually as you probably told your teachers where to go.

If you can't cope with taking advice in writing, how will you cope with criticism when its being shouted at you while you're cold, wet, hungry and hanging out of your own backside?

The Army isn't like school, the instructors are under no obligation to tolerate selfishness, lateness, rude interruptions of lessons, being unprepared, dirty clothes not tucked in, white trainers on parade when told to wear black boots, suffer fools gladly in general and most importantly, to pass weak recruits to meet targets.

Think carefully about what Tab wrote before you reply. On this forum, you've got the luxury of taking lots of time to formulate an answer, in training, never mind the field army, you most likely will not.

Tab and Anglo only trying to help you. Read carefully and remember, they'll only tell you once.

Yes i agree to the above, But my question just isnt being answered, Discipline in the army i will take as there can possilbly some time be a life and death situation with my friends in the army. There will never be a life or death situation at school. As for discipline i reckon i was 1 out of about 15 who behaved on selection and not trying to piss people off. My question was not " Will how i behave at school be tolerated in the army " if it was i could answer that myself.

Barnsey.
Just to add to the above,
If you get yourself excluded from school any Military/Public Service is going to ask why.
Your AFCO will dig deep.
From what you are telling us you have a problem with authority.
You pull that shit in the Army and you'll end up on R&R in Colchester with the nice people in Red Caps.

[barnseythereferee]

I cannot believe im being treated like crap here. I do not have problems with my authority outside of school. speaking to lots of people on selection who have come away from school with no gcse's .

[Wholley]

I cannot believe im being treated like crap here.

Your not.
You asked for advise and for the most part you seem to want to ignore it.
If you can't hack the discipline in school you certainly are not going to hack it in the world.
Now get off the"Poor little mis-understood Me"act and do some serious thinking.

We can only make our replies to your situation on from we can see of you on this forum. To be quite honest you come across as an arrogant little shit, who will only take the advice that suits his needs or argument. Unless you get rid of that chip on your shoulder you will not only find the army will be down on you like a ton of bricks, and if you decide that the forces are not the place for you just what employer would want to take you on. Just what have you got going for you, you have failed in school, still that was the teachers fault as they talk crap, and you come across on here as an objectionable youth with out any manners and who will go through life blaming every one but him self for what ever goes wrong in his life.

What do i have going for me. Well i was predicted :
1x B
3x C's
4xD's
Im also an Fa quailifed REFEREE you know the people who take abuse from players week in week out and need show alot of respect. My stepdad is in the RAF nr catterick and regulally visits the army up there, He has told me most of them act like dicks and do not have an ounce of respect for anyone and judging by some on here i must agreee. If you like coming on here talking to a 15 year old like shit that shows everyone just how respectful you are to kids. Take it you have no kids of your own aswell ?

[Wholley]

Im also an Fa quailifed REFEREE

Well then,
You should go far with that qualification.
The sooner you start,the better for all concerned.
As to your enquiry regarding children,Most of us here have kids and grandkids.
I think it's best if you just bugger off.
Your becoming really annoying.
As your Step dad is Crabair why not ask him what you should do?
That way we have enough Bandwidth for people with serious questions.

right ok cheers

That wasnt very nice now was it and as you are probably going to be banned soon and the thread locked i will give you my insight to this. When i joined up at 16 i had been excluded from school 3 times because basically i was a little s**t, problems at home, not enough attention, name your cliche, but whatever, the afco took this into consideration but as i passed all interviews and made a good impression at the interviews and RSC as it was then, i was passed.

If however you do have a problem with authority i would suggest you have a long hard word with yourself about joining as has been said above when you get to training your NCO's wont give you detention, and you cant run home to mummy.

Just to clear up for anyone who may be a little confused about why im not still in i had to leave on compassionate grounds because my mother had a nervous breakdown and my little brother and sister were going to go into care so cest la vie, but i am back in on the 22 april ( parachute regiment this time )
