    I’m 16 and I’ve wanted to join up all my life just disappointing that I didn’t behave very well in school. So I’m trying to see whether collage or here is the best option

    Hi Morgan,
    To join the Royal Engineers as an Electrician you would be required to have 4s in Maths, English and one other subject. So joining as an electrician with no GSCEs wouldn't be an option. However there is still plenty of roles available in the Army that do not require any qualifications. There is plenty of opportunity to re-do your Maths and English once you have joined.
    Hope this helps
