so basically, I'm 16 and looking to join the parachute regiment when I'm 18 and possibly run for special forces selection. My college tutor used to work with special forces and he recommended that I remove it. Would this be a wise choice?

I am an air cadet and i get mine from cadetdirect.com. theyre about £25 each though.

I have tried but they aren't budging unfortunately. I did look at army college and thought it looked amazing but you need parental consent which I think is stupid. I might as well wait and get my fitness up anyway...

Ok, thanks for the help! To be honest, it's just to waste 2 years because my parents won't let me join at 16.

Adult, I will be 18 when I sign up. I'm doing a public services course at college

This is my first post so go easy on me please! I am 15 and I have decided that I really want to join the parachute regiment once I leave college (much to my parents demise) but I am just wondering if there is anything I can do to prepare myself for selection apart from the fitness aspect. Any help i...
