I joined the the army cadet's when I was 13 and have really got to a good rank, I have met the queen and I have also done my duke of edingbrugh + many more achievements. I am thinking of moving up into the army soon. What I have learned from going to real military army bases on camp's is that you need to be physically fit and always do what you are told without question. I have had many telling off's and it really isn't an enjoyable experience. You have to be really tough to join the army and most of the time you are risking your life so that's why it's a hard decision for me if I want to join the army and you should really consider it aswell. One thing you should do though is wait till the soldiers are out of Iraq!!
