And I just read today: "Remembering Today: Lt Mervyn Henry Wollaston TRENDELL, HMS Galatea, Royal Air Force, who died aged 18 on 19.05.18". Whoever he was, he was 18, a lieutenant in change of a few hundred men at 18. At 18!

Ive never wanted to die in my bed, i just dont like the idea of waking up coughing and spluttering and dying like that. I want to die a violent death if I have to, I know it seems strange, but I'm scared of the unknown, and Id be alone, in bed....atleast if I got shot in the army, people would be pulling me a nd Id know whats happening and guys would be screaming at me...and then it would just fade away.... and itd be tragic, awful, another to be added to Britains war dead and to be remembered on remembrance day.

Have you thought about whether you'd like to enter as an officer, or as soldier?

Or if you prefer Infantry, the paras are a must.

For more hands on, technical stuff, look at the REME's.

For an easy life, go for the Red Caps- the RMP

It's not worth it there's other ways in surviving in this world which will take you a lot further.
