    Hi Isabel,


    You absolutely can. in fact, this is a fantastic idea! Many students make the mistake by completing a course and then applying to join. Then unsure why they are having to wait to join. By applying now, this would put you in good stead, as your application process time could seem very quick due to your current ongoing commitment to College.


    If you time it perfectly, you could potentially leave college and in a sense, walk straight into the Army to begin Basic Training. (assuming that all pre requisites are met by this point).😁
