    There are potential benefits to both but it really depends on what you want to do and what might suit you more. Harrogate is a excellent opportunity to join the army as soon as possible and get paid to conduct military training and gain civilian qualifications during the 23 or 44 weeks you are there. Joining latter at 18 however will afford you the opportunity to go to collage first, and after conduct you basic training in 14 weeks before going onto your trade training.
