Joining army

[Spartacus1]

Hey, I am an 18 year old Pakistani born UK resident who is extremely interested in joining the Pakistani army. I moved to England at age 11 but would like to return to Pakistan when I'm older and joining the army would be my preferred course. I am fully aware of the rough environment and hardwork involved in an army career but I would just like to know what A level grades I am required to get in order to be eligible for the army, thanks.

Spartacus1, I see you're already a 2nd Lieutenant!!

 

[Peregrine]

If you have done A levels or its equivalent with atleast 60% marks then you are eligible......at the time of commission, you will have to surrender your british nationality.

 

[Spartacus1]

Haha very encouraging, thank you. Any insights on my question though?

I heard that A level grades decrease when converted into FSC, any truth behind that? and yes I am aware of the nationality thing and I'm prepared to give it up.

A personal question... why dont u join british army ???

Who wants to make his oath on the UK which murdered millions in south Asia and on this ugly old relic of the past....the queen?

 

[Spartacus1]

A personal question... why dont u join british army ???

Because I am a patriotic Pakistani and I would find it hard to risk my life for a country that I do not have that emotional connection with.
