I am 16 and looking for a career in the rifles. I came out of school with no qualifications, do i need any at all?

Hello. Thank you for your question.
To become an infantry soldier you do not need any formal qualifications. To start your application, you can do this online at the following URL https://apply.army.mod.uk/login
