Its down to the individual.
If you enjoy school and have the grades to do more education, you will be able to do more jobs within the Army.
If the idea of more time at school fills you with dread then joining the Army straight away may be the right move for you.
You could take a gap year, get a part time job, get some life experience now that school is done and join the Army later.
