Okay,
What is it that is wrong? Joining the Army? Joining at 16? Joining that Regiment?
When you apply to join the Army, its not an instant thing. It will take 3-9 months. Checks and interviews to be done and then a decision as to what you want to do. You can stop at any point.
If you join at 16. You will go to AFC Harrogate. During your time there, as a minor (under 18) you can choose to leave at any point.
The Army isn't for everyone and we know it. That said, it could be for you! I always wanted to joining the Army, I'm 16 years in now. Have I enjoyed every minute.. No, but it was still the right thing for me.
After that, you'll serve 4 years. Minus the time in Harrogate.
Have a question of your own?
How often do you see your friends and family from home?
