Like I said. From my experience, actually being here, most people have them some don't. The one guy in my platoon who does not seems a bit naive and young at times. One guy, one example. There are guys who do not have degrees that are very impressive there are others who are not.

And yes the Army does do university sponsorship. Go to the AFCO and they will tell you all the details.

I see where your coming from bigdog.

Having a degree gives me a better chance of getting in Sandhurst but its not necessarily a must have.

I know the Army will still be there in 3 years if I did study for one but if theres a chance of me getting in now then I might aswell have a crack and see if I make it!

After all I have lots of others skills that would stand me in good stead and I can't see how having a degree would make me a better leader!

Also Prince Harry got in with the minimum of 2 A levels. I'm sure there's some hope.

I wouldn't pin your hopes on being able to get in with the minimum because the prince did, apparantly he can't communicate for shit either and has no leadership ability but they still let him in because he's royalty.

True.

apparantly he can't communicate for shit either and has no leadership ability but they still let him in because he's royalty.

But I wouldn't listen to the rumour mill.
