Hi Reddit, I Know How Bad This Sounds, But Please Hear Me Out
I (25M) Am Currently Serving In The British Army As A Light Gunner, been here since i was 19. Now, my brother (21M) currently works at a security company which he's miserable at and wants to become an army chef due to his love of cooking and wanting to serve the troops, just one problem.
His Dental Isn't the best. He Can Chew no problem but his teeth.. Not that good, they are yellow (I know he's planning to have them whitened) about 3 fillings and a small chip off a back tooth. It doesn't cause him any pain or cause any problems, it just looks bad
Why I May Be The Asshole : He was saying how excited he is to become an army chef and how much he's looking forward to the challenge, i however told him he shouldn't join because he would get rejected as soon as they saw his teeth, he looked upset and remained quiet the rest of the day.
I do feel bad, but a little tough truth might be what he needs

Most regular soldiers joined because they needed the money, but the upper classes had basically no limit for money, so why did they still join up?
I am a 13 year old army cadet and I want to be join, I have nearly my .22 rifle qualification and have terminal brain cancer, will my lack of British citizenship, my family being senior members of ISIS, and a KGB past hold me back from joining SAS maybe or As a commando without doing basic training?
I read confliciting things online, some say its during their training, while others says its before during main board. Was hoping for some clarification, thank you.
As above. It’s currently 16, used to be 15 and a bit, but it’s often argued that the age should be 18 or older.
Hello everyone,
I am trying to do some family research on my granddad which has always been a mystery. He is Polish. Was originally in the Polish military but somewhere along the line ended up in the British 8th army. However, I am unsure if he actually formally joined the British army or just fought alongside the Brits in exile. I have some of his army records, such as solider book and monte cassino medal. The medal has a piece of card with is that is in Polish. However, the solider book is an English book (all printed words in English), but physical handwriting is all in Polish. And (arguably the biggest mystery) my granddads details are all blacked out with thick black marker, except his name. What does this mean? Was this common practice during WWII?
My question is, was is common in WWII for soldiers to formally join British armed forces or to just fight along side the brits in exile from their native army? My granddad settled in England after WWII. However my mum is unsure if he received/attained British citizenship.
Any insight would be a MASSIVE help. Apologies if this is too off topic for this subreddit.
Also, what are the main channels of military records? I have tried using the National Archives, but I have never had any luck.
Hello, I was wondering what the possibility of a 17-year-old British citizen joining the AU army
do you have to have previous military service? and if I need Australian citizenship can I get it at 17?
thanks in advance.
>When the Duke of Wellington was asked to make a tour of the army in the British Isles during the second half of the 18th century, he asked for a warm reception. He also requested that the soldiers' quarter be left alone, so that they might have a private time to themselves. The soldiers agreed.

I know John Baker Church, the brother-in-law of Alexander Hamilton, served in the US Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. However, after the war he returned to Britain and was elected to Parliament in 1790. What did the British think of this man? Was he a traitor? Or was he service against the crown understandable? All water under the bridge or was it ever awkward?
I've been thinking seriously about signing up for the army reserves. Am I too old now?
I'm interested to hear different people's motivations for joining/wanting to join. Any response is welcome
They give everybody too much SAS.
Hi I was wondering if anyone knew anything about medical checks they do and what access they have to my records if I was to go through the application process. Would they be able to turn me down because of my mental health history.
I spent a few years in my youth in the air cadets. Looking back at that time it was a lot of fun flying aeroplanes and shooting rifles and lots of adventure courses. It would be a shame but understandable if I couldn't join the army based on my medical history.
Should I join the British army?
More specifically should I join the parachute regiment? I’ve think I’ve always had something telling me subconsciously to join the army. My cousin was in the paras and has spoke to me about it and told me there’s no other life like it. However, I have to admit The nerves are settling in and I’m just wondering wether it is a good decision to make.
I’m still 17, in full time education at a sixth form. I’m completely sick of the exams and work though, it’s just not for me. I’ve always enjoyed fitness, strength and admired the people in the army for what they do.
Is it a smart decision...
