Hi Lynn, Here in the UK it's 16 and 9 months, although there is an army college at Harrogate which takes school leavers and they do their further education at the same time as army training, and they are guaranteed a place in the army and fast tracked through promotion if they complete the course, which is where I'm hoping he'll go as it'll get him away from the bad influence of his step brother *and* at least get him some civillian qualifications. I don't think the girlfriend thing will work - he's a very good looking tall blonde and very muscular for his age - we have girls at the door and on the phone all hours, his younger sister is getting fed up of older girls befriending her so they can get to him lol - when he told me that he had started smoking, he said "there's something I need to tell you mum, I'm scared what you are going to say...." it was almost a relief when he said that he was smoking!
