Thinking of Joining Up?

These are the rules if you are under 18 when you join the army:-

You are not allowed to leave during the first month of service.  You may give 14 day's notice and leave only between the second and sixth month of service.  If you do not leave then, you must remain in the army full time until you are 22 years old.  (QR 9.073)

You cannot buy yourself out. (QR 9.416)

You cannot obtain a discharge before you are 22.  (QR 9.073)

You must remain in the reserves for another 6 years.  (QR 9.478)

If you go absent without leave you will be liable for punishment by detention.  (MML 304 s.38)

You will not be free to leave, even when you are over 22, if you go on any education or training course which lasts more than 2 weeks.  (QR 9086b)
