Hello,
You can only join the British Army over the age of 16 and you can start an application from the age of 15 years and 7 months, so you have a little while longer to wait.
Although you can join the army at 16, you actually join the Army Foundation College in Harrogate. Here you will focus on education and improving the qualifications you may already hold. You will also start an apprenticeship in the career that you choose within the army.
What are you looking to achieve from joining the army?
