Can I get an inside of the parachute regiment please? And how to prepare physically and lastly how to tell your parents
And lastly I hope haha I'm turning 18 and I know I'll be able to have my own life choices but I've wanted to join the army since the ages of 4 or 5 roughly around 15 + years or so I'm just nervous to tell my parents, I've looked into the paras and all sorts so I do have some formal of idea. I've write up what I'm going yo say to them but I'm nervous, I've got another 2 years or so of college as a new term has started and ill be heading back in September time I'd like to ask for your advice on how to tell them.
P.s I'm thinking about telling them in about 6months to a years time from now as I'm not 100% sure on my course at college or really debating wether or not to stay at college or leave for the Army, my pal is in the royal artillary, other college mates are joining or have joined the RMC, grenadier guards, and RAF ones joining the army at a reserveest not sure how he's doing tho. I'm just looking for advice tbh I am heading down to the reserve center tomorrow at 7pm woth my pal to discuss things further, I'd really like to do this job as it'd been a job in mind for 15 years or so.
