    Hi Darcie,

    No, this should be discussed at the start of your application.

    Not yet as I am only 16 and the main role I am aiming for is the royal military police therefore have a year to wait until I'm old enough for the role.

    Okay. You will have to join as a senior entry soldier for RMP.

    Maybe see if you can gain some experience working within a Police Station, Although this will most probably be unpaid, it's good experience and all helps with your application :)

    Maybe also look into the Military Preparation College's - they are designed to help you get ready for Army life - Good Luck.
