Hi, you can apply to join the army from 15yrs and 7 months. My advice would be do as much research as you can; make sure you pass all the fitness tests (the fitter you are the better you'll do), know the army values and standards, practice online psychometric tests, research the role / capbadge you'd like to join. Ultimately just do your best and try to enjoy it! Enthusiasm and a sense of humour and helping others will get you a long way! Good luck!
