  • I want to encourage my step daughter to join the army. Okay she is only 13, but she has always wanted to be a surgeon. Along with track cycling, national youth choir, playing several musical instruments and being trilingual, we both feel that she can go a long way academically and hopefully apply at officer level.

    Studying medicine and surgery in the armed forces would also expose her to real conflict circumstances, okay it would be a tough life, but the experience would, I believe be priceless.

    I have had two fathers go through military careers, one royal engineer one royal marine, both decorated during active service.

    And that's a good thing because? Your average A&E could probably be described in the same way every Friday night, but at least it doesn't involve invading a foreign country.
