Thinking About Joining The Defense Force

[ELtim]

2 months until I'm 17. And I'm thinking of joining the defense force.

I want to know what they do in the way of apprenticeships. I wish to be a Diesel Mechanic as the apprenticeship (gyp rock fixer) I had lined up hit the fan. But, I've been thinking about it. It seems to be a good way to honor my country and gain the qualifications I desire.

I checked the website and when I'm 17 I'll have the qualifications to sign up. Year 10 + 17 + no reason to not pass medicals/ fitness tests etc.

Anybody got an input?
