@miky261 no but competition is high. you only really need 2 a-levels

[miky261]

Do you HAVE to have a degree to be an officer? im only doing A-levels, i dont need the student debt from uni, and none of the courses interest me.

I was enlisted in the US Army for 10 years. This was a soft sell. I would have asked for the numbers on longevity. Medical benefits and cost of living. Funny the mentioning of 'sailing'... in my day,'Did they promise you a yacht?' was a check question before you signed your contract. 'Tied-in' was an interesting term; in all it wasn't definable.

MY favorite quote,'there is a chocolate box filled with career training.'. Would have loved to meet one of those English businesses that hire on after?

I wonder how much this is going to help me since I'm in the USA.... :S well, information cannot hurt.
