    Think about your own aptitude. Belonging to the armed forces is an intense devotion of your time and skills. You will be expected to live on barracks, to move around the country and eventually overseas, you will be expected to be physically and mentally fit, you will go for long periods of time without seeing family and off site friends, and you will be extremely regimented from the time of waking up to the state of your clothing. It is very important to address all of these potential challenges and feel resolved about them before you even apply.

    Talk to a recruitment agent. Have a list of questions ready to ask about your reading. Attend open days or talks that the forces might be holding. Some armed forces even open their bases to public inspection and this might be worth visiting.
