Hello. You will be expected to complete 4 years service from the age of 18. Thanks.

So you are able to leave at any point before 18 if it turns out not to suit you? Even if you have already started phase 2 training? I had heard you could only leave within the first 4 months, even if you are under 18?
Thanks -

Hello. You can terminate your service with a two week notice at any time before your 18 birthday. It is also worth noting that you are non deploy-able while you are under the age of 18. When you turn 18 that is when your 3 year minimum service starts and at the earliest opportunity after you third year is when you can terminate you service. When you terminate your service at this point you give a years notice and leave at the end of your fourth year. Thanks and if you have any other questions let me know.
