    Hi Ed, You are still well under the upper age limit of 36 and it is a career where you will promote through the pay scales as you progress. The starting wage during training will see you get around £1000 a month disposable income with no additional outgoings for food or accommodation. Go online to apply or if possible go into your closest Army careers office for a face to face chat and get all your questions answered in person. I think you will get more out of having the conversation in person.

    Thank you, that sounds like a good idea!
