Im ot sure what role I want, I know I want to join the army but there are so many roles?

I'm stuck between infantry or military police or maybe something else i don't know about yet.

    My advice would be pick something you have a natural interest in. example i joined Signals because communications interests me.

    I agree, think about your strengths and what you would like to know more about and be an expert in and the Army will help you get there!

    Thank you, could you specify what a Mid Thigh pull is? Could you also tell me if I could join the military police straight away or if I have to do a set amount of service
