I have thought this many times, although ofcourse I'm a few years off joining the army.

As you said, you wake up with a wonderful girlfriend by your side and living in one of the best places on Earth... how would it be if you went out there, and got yourself killed.. you'd have none of this.

Or what about if you went in, and the things you saw would ruin the rest of your life.. friends dying, innocent people getting blown up..

I know you might not think of it the same way, but there are other things you can do that will help the world but isn't going to risk/ruin your life, or break the hearts of people around you..

Maybe, joining the police, doing voluntary work, raising money for charity.


I have decided, I will be joining the police career once I get some qualfications, my grandad was in the police and I have always wanted to be.

It will make a difference to your community, making it safe for the people around you.



Maybe you might want kids, if you go out and get yourself killed, you'd never be able to do this!


But ultimately, the decision is down to you, and I would wish you luck whatever you do in life!
