Omlet Smart Autodoor - New in box

I noticed on a few threads that some of you despair of your young teenagers. Have a look at the Army foundation college, unless you are totally opposed to a forces career, it is a good option. My son went there at 16 and it was the making of him. In the last 8 yrs he has had some amazing experiences, including war, and now has the opportunity for an exciting and adventurous job outside the army.

Trust me there will be no eye rolling, shoulder shrugging or 'whatevers' if they go there. It is a challenge, but a good one.

I think you can order a brochure which you leave lying around.

We have a 14yr old that has his heart set on going, he has looked at Welbeck, and is now looking at another one.

 

Strange as it is we are supporting him in his quest as since starting Army Cadets a year or so ago he's become a completely different boy. He still has his moments but on the whole it's been completely positive...

 

Where did your boy go Patsy?

Hi Quickcluck,

He went to Harrogate, it's better if they're not particularly academic.

Does your son know about this,www.camouflage.mod.uk/,

very good, aimed at 13- 16yrs old.

Thanks will check it out asap.....

 

He is hoping to do some sort of engineering.

Well, this is only based on info from my son, but, engineers are respected within the army, will get to be in at the thick end, and of course gain useful qualifications for when they leave the army. I'd say go for it!
