First up...congratulations on making the decision to join the forces...
It's not an easy decision to make, and while you may go through times where you have regrets....overall it is a fantastic career that will set you in good stead for the rest of your life.
I joined the Army way back in 1982 and spent 8 years there.
My only regret is not doing a trade...I was a storeman in RAEME.
My advice to you....forget about becoming a grunt (infantry) and get some sort of trade...
Whether you stick with military policeman, or get some sort of electronic, mechanical training..it doesn't really matter...just make sure you get the Army to pay for some sort of qualification....
