You can always clean toilets in MoD HQ :p

There are plenty of "office work" in the army, or if you are a bit smart you can go for weapons development with BAE or something.

i don't think i'd survive in the military being useless

@Spectrum: thats what i was thinking about

You get paid a pension as soon as you leave the army!!!, are there any non combat jobs that pay well?

Depends what you call paid well? When I left I was on £51,000 but I was very fortunate (2004), and you don't contribute to the pension either, it's totally free, I got a large tax free lump sum plus an annual pension which probably equates to a Postmans salary.

As for jobs, get cooking, you can't get much further back than a Chef is.

Lol nah i think El mayo is younger than me i think.
Yr 10 and I still have 2 weeks of gcse's left this year having only done about 10 out of 15 exams

And that can't be right either you should be doing your GCSEs in yr 11?? Unless your super smart and your school allowed you to do GCSE a year ahead.
And i'm pretty sure in science you will learn physics,chemistry and biology in most brief detail for you to pass the science exam.

Im just surprised. How can you do exams in year 9? Arnt those just like block tests not full exams.

Yeah El Mayo it says on his page he is 17 and kuro is 18 but he isn't from here so he doesn't count.
