Assistant Intelligence Officer

Hello, Dylan and thank you for your question.

I understand that this stage of your life is very important as it could affect the rest of your life.

To answer your question, you do not need a PE qualification to join the Army but it could help you if you chose to become a Physical Training Instructor later on in your Military career.

Focus on your GCSE choices carefully as you will need them to fall back onto if you fail to achieve the standard to get in to the Army but I'm pretty sure you will succeed.

Again, thank you for your question and if you have any more, please ask.

-Danny.
