Thanks for that Rover, much appreciated.

Hi all.

Im 16 and have always wanted to join the Paras as an officer by staying on in school, getting a levels then joining up at 18.


alrite mate, dont mean to piss on your parade or anything but having A-levels wont be enough, i looked into it myself and was told i needed more life experience ...

Ive only just decided to join the para's and im not going to apply untill i have a good level of fitness so i can then beast myself whilst waiting for barb, prac etc... imnot the fittest person that ever lived at the moment and im struggling when running, i know it will take time but does anybody ...

I want to join the marines but was a bit of a clown in the past so ive got criminal convictions and im sure the marines wont accept me untill my convictions are spent, my convictions wont be spent for another 4 years, im 19 now so ill be 23 by the time i get to join, and im not prepared to sit ...
