I have recently been thinking about joining the British Army, I am 16 years old and I have a very high interest in fitness(specifically personal training).
What are everyone's opinions?
Is it too young of an age to be making decisions like this?
Am i cut out for it?

I think It's a great thing to do.

If you're in shape and want to do it..do it.

Personally i would go to college atleast for a year, i did public services at college and you learn everything you need to know about the army, RAF, the navy and the royal marines. they will teaach you about fitness and the tests and help you become fit enough to pass the test.

Then you could do a 16 week course to join the army but personally you don't want to be a standard grunt so to say, you should go into something like being a PT.

I will be doing a Physical Training course in September but I would like to a more 'manly' job where you're making a difference.

Stay in school, kid. I always thought about joining the army too, don't regret one bit of not actually enlisting.

I do suppose knowledge is power in a sense.

It's hard give advice on somebody else's life, however I would say do it if you feel it is what you want to do.
